e3 players got the game early?

ive heard rumors floating round that all the people from e3 got shipped a copy of halo 4 early, and they are able to play match making but only two playlists.

apparently 3000 people got the game
and 10 000 people where online playing it (dont know how the math works there but its what i heard)

dont ask me for sources because ive heard it from a few people, not trolls either

No. If anyone is playing the game now, they have either pirated the game or are journalists with review copies.
