War hero and US military advisor, Hank Keirsey, is one of those ex-military types who game companies consult when they are making games and the kind and benevolent Hank has been working with Treyarch during development of Call Of Duty: Black Ops.
Sorry, did I say kind and benevolent? I meant utter bad-ass, takes-no-prisoners killing machine. Hank decided to get some practice in by playing previous Call Of Duty games online,
“When I played the original Call of Duty, after being a soldier, I screwed up a couple things. I know to check corners and when someone jumps out I was kicking myself. It was sufficient and realistic enough that it gave me the damn willies. I was waking up in the middle of the night thinking I could do much better.”
Excellent research there by Hank, anything to improve on the next Call Of Duty game. I’d suggest not having a totally ridiculous plot in which the enemy somehow manages to land an invasion force in Washington DC, probably the most well guarded place on the planet but that’s just my opinion.
Back to Hank. He enjoyed his online experience apart from one tiny little detail. The hoards of twelve year old kids who kept on calling him rather rude names over Xbox Live.
“You think: ‘I do this for a living you little b*stard’,” continued Hank, “I’m going to crawl down your basement hatch and I’ll find you, you little…”
Steady on there old chap, it’s only a game – no need to get personal. Any final message for the kids?
“‘I know where you live you little b*stard. Use all the expletives you want; when I show up you’re going to have a big bar of soap in your mouth and boot up your ass. You little b*stard.”
Good lord. He’s joking of course. Probably.

He’s right you know.

Except the knowing where they live bit!
BIGAL-1992
Obviously that bit’s wrong. Everything else probably right.

If they give him XBL account details, surely he can pay them a visit and turn their copy into a blood-spattered Special Edition.

I like Hank

Any one that is going to put a boot up the ass of rude lil bastereds on LIVE is a Hero in my book.
Bilbo_bobbins
he is spot on. It’s the same on the PS3 too. Full of little kids swearing and being racist.

One guy was being really offensive on Blur last night so I was just racing around screaming “Chase me! Chase me! Ooh you naughty boy you just shunted me up the backside!”. He quit the next race.
Bilbo_bobbins
ha ha, brilliant. I bet he loved it.

He’s my new hero.

I don’t seem to have any problem with spam on the PS3 online. This seems to be more of an Xbox problem.

I agree, this reason in the end is why I cancelled my LiVE subscription, I just felt like for every one game populated by decent people there were 10 full of people who just wanted to smack-talk each other, gave me some unhealthy stereotypes about Americans and the need to win :/
solidsteven

I have never used an xbox but i work with a Mother of three boys about 8-12 who love call of duty on 360 , I said to her that I cant stand it on PS3 because of all the kids cussing and saying fag this , camper that sending me pathetic messages because i killed them etc .
She said to me that there is a special thing on LIVE for kids to play without adults and possible paedos stalkers etc which made me chuckle because surely it needs to be the other way around where the adults can have their own separate channels away from the kids because they are the problem on CoD .
Personally i long gave up on it and prefer Battlefield as thats where the older more mature players are . Sure theres 1 or 2 nobs but in 100 hours of BF i can only remember leaving one game because of screaming cussing kids .
minerwilly
By the way im no churchgoer and f and blind all the time(when appropriate) but i dont have a go at fellow players.
bunimomike
Could you ask her about how she feels about having such young children playing a Mature rated game? That would be my biggest concern.
hazelam
did you tell her call of duty isn’t really aimed at 8 to 12 year old kids?
spooner_22
This guy rocks. People that ruin CoD suck!
