    I have about 3 and half total days of playing CoD4 on the 360. I got it days before christmas. I've been keeping track of my kill death ratio which is currently at 1.52 and have 10300 kills or so. I thought that was pretty impressive, until I went to the top of the list. What. The. Fuck. There are some people that have been playing this game on average of 4.1 hours a day since November 5th. Some people near the top have over 100k kills and 4.xx ratios. One guy had a 134 kill streak. How is that even possible!?

    I haven't played a game this hardcore since the hay days of DAoC, and I'm just a newb compared to these other guys. I think these stats show just how well the public has embraced CoD4 online. They really nailed it imo and they deserve to be at the top.

    There are a lot of people here at work that play it. I found this out by talking to a buddy in the break room and passerbyes were like, "oh hell yeah, that game is addicting". I even had an older lady that was in the break room listening to us and she just blurted out, "my son's name is Jbizzle in that game."
