Stephen Toulouse, Xbox Live's director of policy and enforcement warns that if you have an early copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, it would be in your best interests to not play online.
The key word in his above statement is "may" so there is no gurantee that your account will suffer as a result of playing the game early but why risk it? It should be noted that a few retailers are already selling the game well before the release date of the 8th. It should also be noted that the above statement comes hours after Toulouse initially said that all legally obtained, legitimate copies would be safe to play online.
As it stands, do not try to play online and if your Xbox 360 is connected to the Internet, it may not even be safe to play the single player component. Just play it safe and disconnect your network connection to your 360 if you happen to have an early copy of the game.
clarification: dblchk'd with Activision. Mw3 pre-release play not authorized. So pls be patient. Playing early may impact your account!
