Så jäkla coolt!

Veckans hjälte (utmaning till dig, Lubanga Beskyddaren) är Glen, a.k.a. Mr_No_Kills

ORIGINAL STORY: This feat may sound impossible, but for Game Informer reader and hardcore Modern Warfare 2 player Glen McCracken, it's only a matter of time. In two hours of playing, Glen has reached rank 5 without taking a life. Using pacifist means to earn points, Glen estimates it will take him roughly two months to be the first player to reach rank 70 with zero kills.

Why would someone attempt such a strange feat?

"I've already hit Prestige five times. I thought it would be something interesting to do," Glen said. "It definitely gives you a different perspective on the game, and it's fun and challenging."

Currently Glen's kill to death ratio is zero kills and eighty-nine deaths. He says he primarily uses a riot shield and flash bang grenades. Both of these tools can easily lead to a kill if an enemy is injured prior to engagement. Glen also uses rockets to blow up killstreaks. He also achieves valuable experience points by securing flags in Domination. He does play team deathmatch, and as you would expect, his teammates are not happy with his zero kill performances. Stick to Domination, Glen.

UPDATE: The Game Informer staff has started an office pool as to whether Glen will accomplish his goal. Game Informer associate editor Bryan Vore is putting his money on Glen accidentally killing someone before he reaches level 20. Senior editor Matt Helgeson sees Glen's streak ending at level 25. All around jerk Joe Juba believes Glen is in his losing match right now. I think he'll make it all the way to 70.

Since this story originally ran, Glen has reached level 11. He's only died 272 times.

"Things have picked up a bit since I can get challenge points," comments Glen. "In an average Demolition game I get about 1,000 XP and 15 deaths. I have decided not to use special grenades; they're too risky. I've also decided to play Headquarters and Capture the Flag when I unlock them."

Glen's change in play style greatly reduces the chance of him offing someone. If you're playing with Glen, please feel free to drop us a line with your perspective on this historic (not really) event.

Coolt indeed! Dessutom praktiskt eftersom man inte behöver skämmas lika mycket för sina prestationer längre. Folk kanske tror att man spelar med samma mål som Glen.
