Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 players have been advised against changing their console’s region in order to gain early access to the game.
The “New Zealand” trick, which lets players trick their consoles into letting them access a game that doesn’t release until midnight in their own region, has been a staple of game releases for many years.
But Infinity Ward has issued a statement warning players may experience “connectivity issues” and “may be locked out of the game” until the game is officially released in their region.
