Call of Duty : Black Ops faces possible piracy risk

Posted By | On 18th, Oct. 2010

A thief apparently took off with a retail copy of the game from a printing press in Alabama, the game is still far off from release, with November 9 being its planned release date.

Set to be the biggest game launch in history, surpassing even Modern Warfare 2, this leak poses a great threat to the game’s selling prospects.

The thief according to reports have already sold several copies of the game to prospective hackers, with one of them even posting a picture of the game disk in the underground forums.

We hope Treyarch makes quick work of these thieves and they are busted before any possible leak can make it to torrent websites. Activision managed to prevent a similar leak of MW 2 by nabbing the culprits before the damage could be done.
