My first time playing Call of Duty was on Thanksgiving 2009. I was at my cousin's house and they just got the MW2. They were 1st prestige. I didn't know anything about this game or how to play it, but I gave it a shot. The first match I played I became addicted. That weekend I played so much with my cousins and my uncle, and I fucked up their K/D haha. I knew what I wanted for Christmas, so I sold my PSP and PS2 and got an Xbox 360 a few days before Christmas. The 1st game I played online was GOW2, and I sucked at it. I didn't ever like that game. The night before Christmas, I got Modern Warfare 2. I was completely obsessed. Everyday before school I would wake up at like 5 in the morning and play MW2 for an hour, usually SnD or Hardcore SnD. I liked getting the game winning kills. I remember my first quickscope, it was on Afghan, in SnD. From that moment, I became in love with sniping. Sometime in early Spring I hit 10th Prestige, with around 30 days played and a K/D of 0.98 (I messed around a lot), and I purchased Turtle Beach X1's. Me and my friend got into a clan called eXoN, it was competitive sniping but it didn't last long because we always lost. My GT was eXoN ViRuS and then it was eXoN D. My friend eXoN dino from school told me that CoD4 was really good. So I picked it up at Target and first played it on February 26th, 2010. I didn't like how there weren't game winning kills, and no sleight of hand pro. I met someone called iMagicJERK, and I was introduced to sniper lobbies. He and some people from the clan called SuReaL taught me the basic spawn traps. Now I love CoD4, it's my all time favorite game for sniping. My friend eXoN dino got an HD PVR and he gave me his old cap card. I did some USB mods like modding my avatar, gamerscore, and gamertag, and I got my console banned. I was mad at Microsoft, so I bought a PS3 with MW2. During the Summer I played everyday, and I didn't skateboard or hang out with friends because I was so addicted. I got to 5th Prestige in 9 days played, with a K/D of 1.80. I met some friends on there, but didn't get a mic till 4th prestige (You can't talk on PS3 with X1's). With my experience on PS3, I think most gamers on there are casual gamers. Not many people had headsets, and I would always win 1v1's because of the advantage of hearing through my X1's. In September I sold my PS3 and got another Xbox because I liked Xbox Live better most of my friends had Xbox. When I was back to Xbox I had enough MW2 so I switched over to CoD4 and got CoD2 because OpTic H3CZ made a commentary saying it was worth buying. I liked played Cage Match, and SnD the most. One day I was playing a random Cage Match and I met someone named Chris. His GT was baseballboy6721 (I forgot what the numbers were) but he was really ReTRo Enigma (Co-Founder of the first sniping rankings + tournaments called EPTournaments, Enigma.Pinoy.Tournaments) on his secret account. He taught me how to do competitive sniping on CoD4, along with his friends LaYZuRiK and briicey. They were some of the coolest people on Xbox. In December 2010 I got into my first CoD4 competitive sniping clan, PeRCepT, ranked #5. I wasn't a starter, so I played scrims most of the time with Enigma, LaYZuRiK, briicey, and I met TA PLANTE, ReTRo Eclipse, and some other people. They were starting a clan called BeTa, led by xSoH. I got kicked out when PeRCepT ended so I started playing for BeTa. We did really good, had a record of around 40-3. On SniperRankings and SniperLeaderboard we were ranked #10. We recruited some nice people, Dihzy, MoRpH SherbY, Oh RaiD. But once we got into an argument on winning we kind of fell apart. In early Spring 2011 I joined DM8X gaming, in the Omen sniping division. They are pretty cool, have a website and everything. I played with MisStress, J Bone, and OpTic MiDNiTE a little. I was friends with some people in it, but we were really inactive and never did any clan matches so I left. This Spring I played Scrims with my friends and took it easy, didn't played as much because I got back into skateboarding and hanging out with friends. I got Skate 3, sold Black Ops. I forgot to mention Black Ops, in October/November/December I played it off and on and reached 3rd Prestige but didn't like it as much as MW2 and CoD4. At the end of March, 2011 I sold my Xbox because I wasn't playing as much and I wanted an HD camera. I miss all of my friends from Xbox and PS3, I was anti-social and kind of depressed when I was obsessed with playing, I kind of used gaming as a way of getting away from the world. I missed school a lot because I hated school. My counselor wondered why my grades plummeted, and suggested my mom take away my Xbox. I was depressed at that time for no specific reason and Xbox was like a drug. I would rather play MW2 all day, really badly. This year I've been in a class called STRIVE, and I got my grades up. Now that I don't have a console I will miss the nice people I met, it was great meeting you.
