Yeah, but the question is, did he kill the murderer in-game beforehand?

I killed my friend in CoD almost a hundred times. Oh, wait...

Not true.
The actually article states they were playing COD when the arguement occured, nothing more.

Anyway, it baffles me.  How can you be good enough friends to play with someone yet then go shoot them?  Weird.

people just need help............LOTS of help

Omfg...  Well I'm glad that he isn't my friend."

Omfg...  Well I'm glad that he isn't my friend."

The headline says man killed over a CoD argument, but in actual fact they just happen to have an argument while playing CoD.

More fuel for the videogames = criminals argument.

There are so many other causes for violence but videogames always get listed when it is suspected

The shooter probably has something mentally wrong...

"The shooter probably has something mentally wrong..."

Call of Duty is serious business.

If the victim was holding cake would the headline be

Man Kills Friend Over Cake Argument

"The headline says man killed over a CoD argument, but in actual fact they just happen to have an argument while playing CoD."

Yeah, this seems to be a case of trying to word a headline so that it gets more traffic.

OMFG... They called the controller a Joystick. What are we living in the stone age!? Come on, people have evolved far past a joystick!

I have people come into my store asking for handles all the time. It took me awhile to figure out they were referring to controllers.

Like that kid who murdered his Mom and wounded his parent because they didn't let him play Halo 3.

Why the hell did he have a gun in the first place and also take it round his mates house. All sounds pre meditated to me not on the off chance that he argued with someone over call off duty.

The article says nothing more than that they were playing an Xbox game and it was probably Call of Duty. There is no proof whatsoever that the argument was over the game.

Some people take martyrdom worse than others.

That is pretty fucked up. I wonder what the arugement was about. This is why we need more gun control in this country.

What's sad is that I remember reading another story just like this a few months back. Two friends were playing some shooter, and it ended with one of them getting shot in the head. Why does this happen?

Wait wtf... This is the second time this has happened. Wasn't a very similar event reported just a few months back, with two soldiers playing xbox in their barracks, following an argument one of them shot the other in the head with his sidearm.

Once, fucked up, but twice WTF IS GOING ON?!?!

Huh, he just lost 10 real life exp.

Man I want to crack some jokes but that just isn't even funny. What a f*cking douche.

"Oh come on now, seriously? I know we all love our chosen form of entertainment but don't let that blind you to cops and detectives doing their fucking job, using the evidence displayed at the scene of the crime to come to some sort of explanation as to what happened. If a dude dies on the street with a wallet in his hand, it only makes sense to assume the death was money related, if theirs crack sprinkled on his lips (props to whoever gets that reference) we have to assume its drug related. If the two were at home, sitting in front of a tv, playin xbox the most logical assumption is that some argument ensued concerning the game. There are plenty of examples of gamer rage out there in our own personal lives. Don't act all shocked and bewildered that an argument over games could lead to physical complications. "

Thats what he gets for taking two turns when he should have passed the pad

He might have done what I did in the sniper section of modern warfare with the dogs, passed the pad to him whilst simultaneously lobbing a grenade into a car :D

More people are killed by cars, you want to take them away too? "

Thing is, cars are designed for tranportation, and do a lot more good than guns do. Guns are designed to hurt people - they don't have any other purposes. "

A new height in humanity, people.

FUCK, people are stupid. Who does that?? Over COD? I feel bad for the guy's family, that's just tragic.

How would anybody possibly know the argument was about the game itself? Oh wait they don't but since they were playing it will still be blamed on games. This must mean any man murdered while eating was arguing about food.

Pshyco's give video games a bad name. This is why games will never be widely accepted as a medium. You don't hear about someone shooting someone else over a movie.

I'm sorry, that was a really dumb and flawed response. Both sides of the argument have valid points but relating guns to cars is a weak tactic. The statistic that matters is purposeful deaths/injuries from guns against purposeful death/injuries from cars. Don't bend a fact to fit the mold you prefer, its why arguments like this never get far in the public eye. "

"Guns aren't designed to hurt people. Guns are designed to move small pieces of metal at supersonic speeds, what you do with it is up to you. I will say that guns are a very good tool to hurt people because you don't have to be right next to them to do it. Saying that guns don't serve any purpose other than to hurt people is a ludicris argument. Plenty of people have guns for hunting, target practice, or they just like to collect them as a hobby. "

You must know you're fighting a losing argument. Or you really are that dense. A gun is a weapon. Weapons are made for killing, end of story. Any other use of a gun is secondary to its inherent purpose, no matter what the reason. If you want to argue in favor of gun rights thats your perogative but please don't base your argument on such ridiculous leaps of logic. "

The only thing keeping most people from killing people while playing COD is the lack of a available gun.  Fuck those grenades.

I don't think it's a flawed response at all. When you say "The statistic that matters is purposeful deaths/injuries" you're setting up a straw man argument. Why is that the statistic that matters? Because you say it is? You're misrepresenting my position to make it easier for you to prove your point. What I was saying was that yes, bad things are going to happen. People are going to get killed. This world isn't made out of pillows and rubber where nobody gets hurt. But just because some people are going to get hurt in no way justifies EVERYBODY loosing their rights. Taking away people's freedom, even if it saves lives, is just not right. That's why banning violent video games is bullshit, that's why the war on drugs is bullshit, and that's why gun control is bullshit. "
