fyfps: NUMBER ONE XBOX 360 BLACK OPS 2 PLAYER FORCED TO RESET STATS DUE TO HARASSMENT “Retrominano” was the top ranked Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 player, globally, on the Xbox 360. That is, until he reset his stats in order to avoid continued DDOS attacks originating somewhere in the U.S. Being top ranked in any field has a tendency to attract a lot of attention. Unfortunately being the number one Black Ops 2 player on the Xbox 360 generated unwanted attention from a harasser who used DDOS attacks to keep Retrominano from connecting to Xbox Live for more than 10 minutes at a time. According to a Reddit post, Retrominano tried resetting is IP address numerous times, but to no avail. In the short amount of time he actually could play online, his games were constantly joined by his attackers harassing him over Xbox Live. Left with no choice, Retrominano reset his own Black Ops 2 stats order to avoid continued attacks. Pretty fucked up that someone would do this.

UPDATE TO THE MW3 UPDATE Mark Rubin tweeted in order to clear some confusion about the new download window that’ll manage your DLC from now on. When you select Download All, it doesn’t re-download everything - just a license key that’ll update the manager. There’s also reports that Spec Ops levels are being reset and old multiplayer maps are unplayable with this drop - something Infinity Ward is looking into. - Tyson | R|R
