MW2 Most pirated game of the year

News | January 1, 2010 2:18 am
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has set several records this year, including the most units sold in a single month (over 6 million in November alone). But according to TorrentFreak, the game was also the most pirated title of 2009.

The Xbox 360 version of Modern Warfare 2 was downloaded 970,000 times.

Those numbers are all the more impressive when one considers that the game was downloaded over a period of just two months.

Go figure....there was 970,000 downloads, but around a million modders booted.

I hated that! I pre-ordered MW2 and went to midnight launch and when I went home to play and joined a game, there had were already level 30s and 40s or what not. That flipped me off. The satisfaction of paying for the game yourself to say, "This is my game." is better than saying I pirated this game :cool:

It's probably also the most hacked game of the year as well.

well a buncha people pirated it for PC cause apparentally IW aint lettin em mod/hack it or whatever like you could w/ every other PC game (like FO3, L4D, etc) so they were like why buy it if you cant hack/mod it? so they would pirate it. idk if thats true (the little-to-no mods/hacks) but its what ive heard

When they say this was pirated I thought it was to another system, not on your computer. Oh boy... the wonders of technology...
