Modern Warfare 2 Already Being Played? (UPDATE 2)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is sure to be the biggest gaming event of the year when it launches on November 10, but it looks like some gamers just couldn't wait!
According to his Xbox Live Gamertag, player 'Hkysk8r187' is already taking the fight to the terrorists, having currently unlocked five Achievements (or 85 GamerPoints).
How he got to play the game early remains unclear at this point (either piracy or some early copy of the game), as does exactly how many others are playing, but we will keep you posted!
Thanks to Elver Bonilla for the tip! If you have any more information pertaining to this story, let us know at news@vgchartz.com, and keep watching for our full review of Modern Warfare 2.
UPDATE:
MyGamerCard.net currently shows 33 people playing the game.
UPDATE 2:
It seems the Gamertag in question belongs to an Infinity Ward employee. Conspiracy averted, folks!
Thanks to NeoOfTheSith for the update.

@ GTcarro
COD4 was all about Multiplayer, the SP sucked.. I think you misunderstood them :P
"...is sure to be the biggest gaming event of the year... "????
I don't understand the super Hype arround this game.
I finished the Cod4: Modern Warfare (1) single player mode, and I hated that basic story. It was trully painfull finish this game (but I like to finish all the games that I buy).
Everybody tell me that it was one of the best FPS on the market, but I think the two best FPS on the market are Half:Life 2 (CS Source) in PC and Killzone 2 in consoles ... and they are the 2 best in many aspects: best AI, best storys best controls (for me of course) and in the case of Killzone 2, best graphics by faar.
This time I will pass this Modern Warfare 2, like I passed Word at War.
Lets see if this "biggest gaming event of the year" will be the GOTY 2009 and beat the trully BIG games of the year, like Uncharted 2.
The only people who are playing are the Developers and the Xbox Live team. :o
lots of people get burned copies of the game. It happend with alot of my friends with gears of war 2
Meh. I get early copies often. Last time around with COD4, there was a private beta - closed - and there was a hands-on session in LA a few weeks ago.
I am prolly gonna get this early too. If not, that's cool - but last time I did.
If this game gets a higher average score than modern warfare 1, I will pursuit a random reviewer and plunge my arms into somewhere on him.
Modern warfare 1 is a very good game, but this will be the same with a few add-ons.
Stop messing around children. Guns are not the coolest thing in video-games.
Bans incomming.
Just like with GoW2 last year.
Conspiracy to artificially inflate X-Box 360 christmas sales I tell you!
One more link for good measure:

Did you research the gamertag at all Mr. Daniel Share-Strom?
Hkysk8r187 belongs to a developer at Infinity Ward named Chad Grenier.
The game has not been pirtated (yet...?)
it would be one seriously early on the shipment for someone to get there hands on the game. Could be the game has shipped already, and some naughty little GameStop employee took his home early. hrmmmm.... possible, but doubtful.
Bill Gates is pwning Kutaragi online, what else ?
PS. Yes, Kutaragi bought the 360, he is not that dumb.
@ lostplanet: no reason to sell it off, as most review-preview builds / copies (if not all) are only playable on debugging systems, and not on regular consoles. There would be no point in selling them off.
This is just the people who are in house Infinity Ward workers. Move along.
@rendo
I hope you get banned for that too. It's not piracy, otherwise he'd be locked out of XBOX Live. If you had a clue what you were talking about, you might know that.
@Seece
Not possible at the moment. There is no own site for Modern Warfare 2 on Mygamercard yet. So Hkysk8r187 is the only one we know for sure.
(Well I found another one by accident...)
But I could give you a list with 55 Forza 3 players :-P
Just message one of the 33 people and they should tell you how they got their hands on it.
Reviewer who playes a review/early build copy...Possibility of a reviewer who sold the early build/review copy.
He's one of 33 people on Mygamercard.net who already played the game.

But seriously. It's totally possible that some of them are IW or maybe even Treyarch guys (LOL)
Or maybe someone related to them whatever.
