Kurt I don't think you realize how many hours a day are put into being at the top.

Essentially all free time is spent playing a single game and doing NOTHING else.
masa2009  +   550d ago
So what, other people spend their life collecting stamps or old records which you could call just as dumb.
For the record, I've never even played a single online game of COD.
finbars75  +   550d ago
Obvisouly Kurt missed the point here.f789790 hasnt.The fact you have to put in pretty much night day hours to be at the top doesnt mean you are a nerd which I never implied here but it means that you have a serious addiction and nothing else in the world matters.Which is where my comment was going.GTF outside and live a real life.Masa2009 just tells me that he has no idea of what comparing apples to oranges means.People collecting items is a whole different thing they dont spend every winking moment doing one thing to be on top.I play alot of games but being educated and going outdoors is a little more important then sitting hours on end destroying my brain cells to be on top of a game.Theres more to life then just that.

LOL @ people who think collecting stamps is the same as spending 20hrs a day on CoD.

DOUBLE LOLskiiissssssss!!!
Soldierone  +   550d ago
I think you need to watch a few new TV channels. There are hobbies that do the same thing... Collecting stuff can take all day and night depending on what it is. Organizing it and learning when and where to go. There are jobs for people doing this.....

Its no different than being a gym freak. If you are at the gym 7 hours a day anyone can say "go do something else"

Too much of anything can be criticized....

The comments about him being a nerd and not having a life are really immature and uncalled for. The dude clearly put a lot of time into the game, if that's what he wants to do with his time then more power to him. It's pretty messed up of people to do this to him.

ok, it's possible to know ip of other player on both gaming network. But only on games that are P2P. Play games with dedicated servers, your data is not sent directly to another user so your IP is not visible to other user.
Blackdeath_663  +   550d ago
console users don't understand that concept yet.
Temporary  +   550d ago
Because the 360 doesnt believe in dedicated servers ... Sony's the only one that really uses them this Gen on consoles from what i've seen.
zimain  +   550d ago
The platform (ie MS or Sony) doesn't control game servers, the publisher does. Activision doesn't use dedicated for the call of duty series.

And in most cases they only use servers to host playlist settings, lobby creation and the searching platform.

The next Xbox to use Win8 kernel? Scratch my last comment, this would be the reason not to get the next xbox. We're all familiar with the history of MS and Win security. right?

"Both the Xbox 360 and New Xbox versions of Destiny will be cross-compatible. ****It’s all the same Xbox Live, after all"***

Oh it's all the same alright, security flaws and all. Like I said show me PROOF that this is reproducible on PSN; provide me the links that show a users personal info was acquired in the PSN attack until then it's all just BS.

Dude sorry to say but you're an many people have stated before, that the DDOS attack has nothing to do with xbox live security and you should probably learn what you are talking about b4 you go blabering on about something you know nothing about. Someone can just as easily DDOS you off your PSN account as they could your XBL account. Oh and maybe you should care a little less about what people are buying next gen...if you don't want the next xbox then don't buy it its as simple as that, nobody else cares about what you think they should or shouldn't buy. True gamers don't align themselves with one single brand.

Damn that ain't right. I truly feel for this guy!

Everyone isn't a cheater online. Some ppl are naturally good at some of these games and they deserve their props.

Let's face it, it takes some sort of skill being able to play among millions of your gaming peers and then get ranked #1

The fact that there are people who use their hacking "talent" to maliciously tamper with other online gamers who are better than them in a game is incredibly mind boggling.

It'll be funny to see if that doode gets all the way back up to the #1 spot again..... LOL

princejb134  +   550d ago
It definitely does take skill
But it also takes countless hours of playing everyday to remain number 1
My clan leader so far has 12 days counted in and going( approximately 288 hours)
I've barely reached 2 days
He's definitely dedicated

It does take skill to play in cod

He even admitted it himself is a lot harder than it seems

First half one guy does then 2nd guy in 2nd half. If only stupid idiots remove the tac insertion it will stop these kiddies from boosting.

Love how MS fan boys always bring up the PSN being down like it was a group of little kids that hacked it, Like peoples accounts on Xbox. 1 big difference is the PSN was attacked by Anonymous well known hacker group have to live under a rock not to know them. If you have noticed MS has made sure to stay away from anything that so much as catches there attention. Sony went after the guy that finally hacked the PS3 in court so Anonymous made a prime example of them. Wasn't just PSN, Sony's websites on all fronts were attacked. Then they realized they were punishing the wrong people (PSN) brought it back up an continued to attacked other Sony Websites. Xbox might not have been down for a month but hey Pay $9.99 a month to be cursed out by 12 year old's tripping on Monster an think the only game that matters every 12 months is COD. I've owned both consoles so don't come with the fan boy shit. An o yea that same 12 year old could potentially hack your account an with all MS's so called security measures you would still have to jump through flaming hoops just to get it back. Problem is MS ignores the issues an sweep them under a rug. While Sony public addresses there issues so they are scorned for it. Lol What world do you people live in.

Bladesfist  +   550d ago
Can you tell me how they could hack an xbox account and or give me some proof. All that is needed for a DDOS is an ip address which is very easy to change so I am not sure why this guy did not just reset his router or ask his ISP to change his IP if that does not work for him. Plus I love how both fanboy groups are using this article as a way to attack either company when neither is responsible.
CheexInk  +   550d ago
I'd assume that they just kept getting his new IP. I don't play CoD or use the Xbox but it sounds like they were able to follow him into games so they would just get his new IP each time that way.
ItsTrue  +   550d ago
What is worse, having all your credentials in the open or paying to play online with 12 year olds? Think before you post fan-boyish answers.

Also, I've been an Xbox Live member for four years. I've had kids threatening to hack my account over CoD. Has it happened at all over the four years? No. If accounts were so easily hacked, why are there no posts about it here?

" While Sony public addresses there issues so they are scorned for it"

Do you have proof of this?

"Problem is MS ignores the issues an sweep them under a rug"

Is this what you mean?

Consider your argument invalid.
fourOeightshark  +   550d ago

You make it sound like PSN gets hacked every month... it happened once.
ItsTrue  +   550d ago

Yes i'm suggesting that would you rather have all your credentials associated with your account released in that one hacking or, pay to play online with kids?

If you think about it, you can control the situation with paying to play online but, if your credit card info was released, what could you do before you find out?

Lol I had an Xbox 2 had an account for 8 years Mac42o just tired of there bs. All your links are pointless half of them are idiots or spam. Posting in the MS forums an getting back a straight answer is like talking to a brick wall. Just keep paying $8 a month for XBL while your dashboard is flooded with companies advertisements that cost millions to claim that little 4x4 tile but your still paying for basic services that offer nothing over any other interface except XBL party chat. Don't own a Ps3 either just tired of people bring up the PSN being down. If MS would piss of Anonymous there shit would get wiped too. So don't think there sitting behind the ultimate security system because its far from it. An most people with hacked accounts aren't in the forums waiting hours for a reply they call XBL directly an bitch till it gets fixed. But then again your an idiot so you probably sit in a forum.
ItsTrue  +   549d ago
To Mac420:

You clearly did not understand the purpose of each link. The first one was to show that there aren't people having their accounts hacked everyday. You imply that Xbox accounts can get hacked easily by 10-year olds.
Also, how is it talking to a brick wall? You clearly have not been on the website before because you can chat directly to a Microsoft support employee. This shows that the 'pay to play' money isn't wasted.

"All your links are pointless half of them are idiots or spam"

That is what I was showing you... God. The last two links were to show 'idiots' being banned. Here is your DIRECT quote:


See how your argument is invalid now? And yeah, maybe Microsoft was smart not to mess with a powerful hacking group so they didn't get hacked.


Yeah, or they use the online chat. Last time I used it, there was no wait time. I was first in line.

" But then again your an idiot so you probably sit in a forum."

I bet you don't know what's ironic about that.

Oh yeah, where's that proof of Sony 'scorning' people for cheating and hacking?

This statement said by one of the commenters is so true.
"People these days are getting ridiculous. For some reason, the new generation of gamer's have no emotional control, are entitled to everything, and never take responsibility for anything. It is extremely rare to hear someone over COD say, "Wow, I went 5-16...maybe I need to change what I'm doing?" Instead you get yelling matches about camping and how the other people don't play the game correctly.".. End quote.
Gamers this generation are a different breed.

Soldierone  +   550d ago
I try. I've gone "wow you totally had me the whole game" and several times the person takes that as a "feel free to trash talk me the entire mid game area"

If a person is actually good, i'll admit it. If they are camping panzies, i'll say it, but normally I finish better than them.

I do agree though. I have friends that constantly complain about everyone. In BF3 they will whine about everything you do. I'll be capturing flags and doing the job, and I'll be "doing it wrong" somehow. Meanwhile the whiner is sitting in a jet dive bombing the other team the entire match, not really helping with the objective at all. Some of them even start kicking you or throwing fits, then come back when they keep losing lol

I personally don't care about the dude too much, and how much time he spent on the game, but that is considerably rude. Especially considering that he did spend all that time trying to level up, but it doesn't make sense why he didn't block the incoming IP addresses, or even try to find out who attacked him.

DDOS is common thing these days if you are somehow in the public

Livestreams,leaderboards or just hated by someone.
You can't stop DDOS unless you bow down and give up.

Sony was the biggest victim and the case made DDOS public - Before 99% of DDOSERS probably never heard of it.
Sadly DDOSiNG is so easy that everyone can do it.

Top Streamers on twitch suffer a lot from ddosing these days but some of them found ways to counter it so they aren't getting affected from it anymore.

The real "Nerds" or rather losers are the ddosers.
Yeah the gamer is playing/streaming 20 hours a day...who cares its his life.
But what is more sad?To play/stream 20 hours a day or watch someone the WHOLE DAMN DAY and wait till he enters a game or a critical moment comes up to fuck his game up?

People have seen what the ddosers of Sony looked like
Thin nerds who would break their hands if they had to lift a 2lbs weight.
Those are the real people to hate.You have to be a very sad creature to be so angry at a person to wait the whole day for him to destroy his fun at games.
