Call of Duty is a game set in a warzone and can be played on a personal computer. The game features the voice of actor Kiefer Sutherland. The game can be set to single player mode but there is a multi player mode as well as a co-operative mode. Players tend to compete against each on line, trying to get the highest scores that they possibly can.

The attack on the game made it impossible for a selection of people to play the game online and the Metropolitan police were responding to a report made to them in September when the attack happened. Many people reported problems with the connection not working and the company who

A denial of service attack is normally made towards a particular website in order to stop it being used by anyone. It can be extremely detrimental, not only to users but also to the website owners. This particular attack used a program called Phenom Booter. The Phenom Booter program has been found to be on sale on a web forum. The web forum explained how by disabling other players it would allow you to score more points while playing the Call of Duty game and this was possibly the motive for the attack, although police have not yet reported their findings.

The attack did not completely disable the game but ensured that a large amount of people were affected and could not play it. This inconvenienced a lot of players as well as the game company, who had to fix the error. This is why the problem was reported to the police, as it is illegal to attack any online company with anything which causes a denial of service, meaning anything which stops the website working properly.

Police firstly found out that the Phenom Booter program was being run from a UK based server and then eventually traced it to Manchester and specifically the Greater Manchester Area. This allowed them to identify the teenager they feel was responsible. He was arrested under the offences under the Computer Misuse act and is in custody while he is questioned and evidence is gathered.

A police spokesman explained how online gaming is very popular and a lot of sales are made at this time of the year. Anything, which disrupts these games, has an impact of sales as well as on people who currently play the game. They can also tarnish the reputation of the companies who sell the games, making it seem like their games are possibly not worth buying because of this sort of thing happening.  He also explained that this sort of crime can lead to further online crime and so it is important to make sure that it is dealt with properly.

I thought the game was pretty good, I liked the story line. It isn’t as polished as Call of Duty 4. But its a enjoyable play none the less.

I’m still playing online in the multi player games which is certainly more challenging. The tanks are an interesting addition to the game, not sure if its an improvement though. Certainly is going to need work in the next release to get it to the standard of Battlefield: Bad Company’s vehicles.

In summary if you were looking for a game, I would recommend getting it.

So far its largely been based on the Casino Royale story line which I find strange.

Other things I’m working on:

• Next RSS Aggregator Release
  - Ability to load intervals has been done.
• Trade Doubler / WordPress Import – won’t be released.
• Landing pages…
• The list goes on and on.

The story line sucked though, your character dies at the end… wtf?

So would I have bought it? Absolutely! Its totally awesome, only down side is the Single Player only, but don’t let that stop you. It kicks ass.

The story line is a bit of track, but again, it kicks butt. Buy it! Play It! I will update you when I’ve finished it.

Its hard to control, hard to understand in the few hours I’ve played it, I haven’t really enjoyed it once.

I’m affraid Battlefield: Bad Company is still #1 for me.

Get it!

Dunno what I’m going to do this weekend now? Perhaps I’ll pluck up the courage to venture outdoors.
