Man Chokes Teen For Taunting Him In Call Of Duty

September 30, 2011 at 12:59 pm by  

Man Chokes Teen For Taunting Him In Call Of Duty UK – A 46-year-old man admitted he “lost it” after a 13-year-old boy killed his character in Call of Duty: Black Ops and would not stop taunting him.

Mark Bradford said:  “I’d been playing the whole day and he was baiting me and baiting me and just would not shut up. He went on and on and I just lost it. In a moment of madness I went round to his house. I didn’t know what I was going to do.”

So he improvised.

Bradford admits he confronted the teen and put his hands around the teen’s neck.

The unidentified boy said: “I was just sat playing. We’d had a bit of a joke and then he stormed in and grabbed me. I didn’t know what was going on.”

Bradford’s attack was interrupted by the teen’s mother who pulled Bradford off of her son. Bradford simply walked away without saying a word.

In court answering to assault charges, Bradford’s lawyer said his client has mental health issues and the attack was not planned. He was just provoked by the teen’s name-calling. Bradford was released on bail and will be back in court on October 24.

Since the attack, Bradford has apologized to the boy and the two have even played online together again. “He’s actually a decent kid,” said Bradford.

This story pretty much sums up why, as someone who still loves his video games, I refuse to play online any longer especially the Call of Duty games. All you find there is immature teenagers and men with mental health issues.

    The article states he’s an unemployed father of three.  Can’t say that playing Call Of Duty all day long is a resume-building activity. What a schmuck.

    This is why I play Halo too. Nothing like owning some guy and then hearing his reaction when he hears a lady’s voice talking shit.

    I play my shooters on the PC. I like mouse/keyboard better then the controllers. So I need to ask, can’t you just go to a different server? If some one is being an ass-hat on TF2 or Borderlands I can just stop playing with that group and switch to a different one.

    I used to play stuff with real life friends over the internet.  If not just between us, we’d both be on the same server with a bunch of strangers.  That would be how he knew.

    Ah, reminds me of the old, big, sponsored LAN parties.  You could always tell who was playing Counterstrike by listening for enraged shouting.
    I once saw a Counterstrike guy get thrown out of a LAN party.  He totally lost his shit, ranting and raving at the top of his lungs.  Picked up his own keyboard and slammed it into the floor.  Buttons flew everywhere.  Shouted he was going to find and kill the “cheating piece of motherfucking shit” that kept knifing him in-game.

  • Hekate

    my question exactly…
    why would you give you address to a faceless stranger and then openly mock pwn’ing him in an online game????

  • Lemont Cranston

    I am seriously waiting for someone to show up at my front door, ready to kill my 19 year old over these games. The guys I work with play it off and tell me that he has the skill to back up his rants but I keep reminding him there are no respawns in real life!

    Good thing Pogo doesn’t have first person shooters, only first person card games & puzzles.

    I saw the headline,and then had to check to make sure the story didn’t feature my (soon-to-be, but not soon enough!) Ex-husband!   I was always so embarrassed when he played the games because of the way he acted……even though it was just us in the house.   He always taunted kids and thought it was funny….I just thought it was sad.

    I don’t know, I played Hearts on Pogo and while I know I’m a shitty player (just learned) I’m sure I don’t deserve the insane abuse I’ve gotten from other players over the message board.  Holy shit!  I don’t even know who the people are and I walk away feeling like I need to go drink some anitfreeze to do the Hearts community a favor.

    My husband goes ape shit when he plays Call of Duty.  The crap that streams out of his mouth when he plays online is…amazing.  I can never understand how he can go from talking with someone he knows in a normal tone of voice straight into, “shut the fuck up you mother fuckin piece of shit!” to someone else.  It often has to do with someone else’s Mama and how she wasn’t complainin when she blah, blah, blah.  I’m sure there’s been times that that someone’s Mama was probably paying the internet bill and needed to adjust parental settings.  Shit, maybe I need to adjust ours to keep my husband off there if he’s gonna act like an ass.  And yep, my love is THIRTY-NINE years old.  He does have a job though ;)

    You can actually get mouse and keyboard peripherals for your Xbox. The accuracy and control is much better, I hear. But they’re pricey.

    I’ll never understand how people can just park their asses in front of a computer all day long and just play a freakin’ video game.  My husband does it (well, not all day, he has a job; long into the night, tho!) and I *still* can’t figure out what the draw is!

    I spent 3,000 building my dream machine. I usually put another 1500 in it a year for upgrades. It’s just my platform of choice for most games. Now if it’s a racing SIM or sports game I’m all about the consoles and even I admit Arkham Asylum was best on my Playstation, but I still think the PC is a superior interface.

    What ??? I don’t play it now … but I have played Halo in the past and I think it’s a great game for who ever. Actually,killing aliens is man’s work though – if you ask me.

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

    Well … now that you got the basics down buy a game and get online. 

  • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_XKMAEMPVJ5T2Y35HKYTNG7I6SY Cedric

    On Left for dead 2 I usually call a vote to kick the asshole – if that fails you do have an option to leave the server,and either pick another on going map – or  start your own public, or friends only server.

    I own a custom built gaming PC too   :)  
    You can tell a persons PC power when playing on line by how quickly they load to the next level/map;I’m usually one of the first to be active on the new levels,which is great,because this means I get first pick of whatever equipment is laying around in the safe room.

    Generally you only know what the person tells you.In the case of the guy and kid in this article – more than likely they talked in real life, and added each other as friends on the game.I have friends on Steam(the system which connects you to the game servers on a lot of PC games;it also verifies that a player does not have cheats installed on their PC.)and it lets you set up a profile,with a pic and name of your choosing,and you can list your country and state if you wish.

    LMAO. I remember trying to play Texas Hold Em Poker on the net.You actually have to buy chips to play the version I was attempting to learn to play … but they give you a set of free chips when you first sign up.Keep in mind that I don’t know how to play  Texas Hold Em Poker ,I just wanted to learn.Well some of the people on there were so rude to me that soon as I spent all the free chips I deleted the game, and have never tried to play that again.I don’t get what the fun is in shit talking a first time out noob,who is just trying to learn how to play a fucking card game.

    It’s a man thing … you will never understand – unless you have a sex change operation … and maybe not even then. Your consolation prize:
    A man was walking down a dirt road when he happened to find an old, glass bottle. Picking the bottle up, the man wiped it with a piece of tissue he had in his pocket to get a better look at it. POOF!!! A Genie appeared saying “Thank you for freeing me from that bottle; I have been trapped within it for a very long time. I will grant you one wish as my way of rewarding you for your good deed.” When the man had recovered from his shock enough to think straight he responded “I have always wanted to visit Hawaii, but I am afraid of flying, and I become deathly sick anytime I attempt to ride on a boat; so I have never been able to go. For my wish I would like for you to build a highway from right here in Texas – all the way to Hawaii. The Genie thought about it a while then shook his head from side to side saying “No, I think you are going to have to pick something else for your wish … that is way to hard. Think of the pillars and how they will have to be tall enough to touch the ocean floor, think of all the concrete that will be needed. Those are just the first problems in a long line of issues with a project like the bridge you desire. I am a powerful Genie, but even Genies have limitations. The man thought a moment then said “Well there is one other wish I could make … I have always wanted to understand how my wife’s brain works. How she thinks. What makes her tick? The Genie thought for a few minutes then he asked the man “Would you like that highway to be 2 lanes or 4?”

    If you don’t know poker well, you need to get on Steam and get yourself a copy of Night at the Inventory. Not only is it fun, but you also get items for Team Fortress 2.
