Because I don't have time in my life to deal with jackwagons that pull crap like this: http://foolmenever.wordpress.com/2014/04...alled-swatting/"Swatting" is apparently a new trend among our emotionally stunted young people who call up the cops on a total stranger, and either admit to a heinous crime (impersonating their intended victim) or advise the police that such a crime is occurring at the hands of their intended victim. Extra points are "awarded" for the number of police responding, vehicles, helicopters, and of course whether or not the SWAT team arrives.

Who knows? Probably someone he knew.

I think the problem nowadays with many of these young people who grew up using the internet and smart phones and chats and messaging and have had very little social contact person to person with another live human being, they don't understand that actions have consequences and that actions affect other people.
It's so easy to be rude and mean over an electric device and not to have a second thought about it.

Got him running his mouth for just enough info. If hosting the game, collect some IP's from the router log to help narrow it down to a city. I keep my son limited to friends only comms for this and many other reasons.

The only game I play online in Multi-Player is Delta Force Extreme.
The game is over 9 years old and I play in the same 3-4 'rooms' with the same group of about 10 players playing COOP and CTF and TDM, all professional and friendly;
no arrogance, no I am better than you, no sore losers, no I am here trying to score more points than anyone, no cheaters.
We've been playing together for so long we know how many kids each other have, what we do for a living, some of our personal lives, etc. etc
We even lost a fellow player about 5 years ago.
He passed away to cancer.
We all mourned him as if he was a member of our family.

MP on Call of Duty is very, VERY different from MP on DCS A10C or Falcon BMS. Even on PvP servers of BMS, it is very polite and mature (or immature) but not childish like this. MP on World of Tanks is closer to that example though. So not all MP games are the same
