Use this trick to play Modern Warfare 2 almost a whole day ahead of release on Xbox.
As you can see from the global start times for Modern Warfare 2, the game will be released at 00:00 locally on console. So you'll be able to play the game at midnight on Thursday wherever you are in the world, or wherever your console thinks you are in the world. Do you see what we're getting at here?
By setting your Xbox location to New Zealand you will get the game at 00:00 New Zealand time, 17 hours ahead of the rest of the US. Sadly this trick only works on Xbox and not PlayStation or PC, and (obviously) it's only relevant to those who don't live in New Zealand. Let's get to the trick.
How To Play Modern Warfare 2 Early On Xbox
Here's how to set your Xbox to a New Zealand location:
- Navigate to settings from the Xbox Dashboard
- Go down to "System"
- From the "System" menu go to "Language & Location"
- On the "Location" drop-down menu, select New Zealand
