Rant Time - Nerd Style

I have this game called Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2. It’s pretty much one of the best games made for the Xbox 360, ever. Well, this game’s freakin’ awesomeness is doubled when you couple it with online play. This is what this blog is mainly about.

I’m an average online player. I can hold my own against other players pretty well. I’m not great but I’m not bad. My kill to death ratio was about 1.1. Key word – was. Until, that is, two weekends ago. I had the crazy opportunity to go skiing with Nick at Paoli, so of course I took it! And it was great, as I stated in the blog about that trip. Little did I know that while I was having the most fun I’ve ever had in my life, my sister’s friend was ruining my reputation on CoDMW2. My sister had her friend (who I won’t name) over to my dad’s house that weekend. They decided they were going to play my online profile and add people to my friends list that I don’t even know. The friends I can handle; the actual playing I can’t. For lack of a better word, they sucked. Bad. When I returned to my dad’s house the following weekend, I found that my KD ratio had fallen about .2. To put that into perspective, they earned me 20 kills and about 300 deaths while they played.

This was, needless to say, very aggravating. I’ve sort of gotten over it as I’ve cut the deficit by about .07 and am only below 1 by about 150 kills. But still, you get the idea.
