Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was eagerly awaited by millions of gamers from all around the world, but it seems that one Loromin Sar from Denver, Colorado, was so passionate about the game that he threatened he'd blow up his local Best Buy store because they didn't get him the Modern Warfare 3 Hardened Edition he pre-ordered earlier this year.

Without a doubt there's a huge number of Call of Duty fans who would do plenty of things for their beloved games franchise.

Loromin Sar, however, took things a bit too far when faced with the possibility that the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Hardened edition he had pre-ordered from the Best Buy wouldn't be given to him.

According to the man from Denver, Colorado, he made the order while driving his car earlier this year and could write down the confirmation code. When he arrived at his local Best Buy, the clerk couldn't find his name in the list of those who pre-ordered the game, so Sar wasn't able to get his much awaited game.

At that point, according to the police report and statements from Best Buy staff, Sar threatened to blow up the store because he didn't get his game, and even said that employees that he'll wait for them in the parking lot after their shift ended and shoot them.

The police was called in by Best Buy employees and quickly apprehended Sar before he could actually make good on his threats.

The upset man then revealed that his reaction was out of frustration that he didn't get his game, and that he wouldn't actually blow up the store or physically harm its employees.

He said that his reaction was blown out of proportions and that Best Buy staff should actually apologize to him for not getting the copy he pre-ordered.

"It's just something you say when you get mad, you know what I mean? But they're like empty threats. You can't get in trouble for just saying you're gonna bomb a building," Sar told KUSA-TV, via Kotaku.

No word yet on if charges will be filed against him or whether he actually got his copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
