Early Gears of War 3 Code Hits Internet, Cops Investigating

Games leak onto the internet all the time. Usually a week or two before they hit retail, though, and usually the finished product. Leaking months before release, though, that’s a little rarer. Yet a playable build of Gears of War 3 hit torrent sites late last week, representing an early look at the game’s singleplayer campaign from a build of the project that’s not even complete yet.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); “We have seen the reports of Gears of War 3 content being propped on the Web and working closely with our security teams and law [[link]] enforcement to address the situation,” Microsoft told IGN “This content is not from a final [[link]] build and is not representative of what fans will enjoy when the game launches.” While some other titles have popped up a little early in recent years—a preview build of early Deus Ex levels, an early release of Halo: Reach—it’s not often you get leaked code from a game before it’s been pressed onto a disc.
