Glen Schofield, developer on Activision’s Modern Warfare 3, had taken to Twitter asking for fans of the game to help boost the surprisingly low Metacritic score (link). Right now, it is sitting with a low 3 out of 10 on the user score, though the critic reviews are up at 89 out of 100.

We are hearing reports that a going price as of right now is something around $1500+… which to us is absolutely insane. While we are all excited for this game, and many new games, it seems somewhat frivolous to spend that much to try and break in early – How many people will actually be playing to see you on early? Anyways – to each their own, now all you die hards . . .
