MegaUpload chief loses global ‘Call of Duty: MW3’ title because of jail time

It is really, really hard to play “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” when you are in jail. Thus, we have the tale of Kim Schmitz, also known as Kim Dotcom, the recently arrested chief of MegaUpload.com.

Schmitz was, up until a few days ago, the top ranked player in “Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 3;” that’s right, globally, at least among Xbox 360 players. As Megaracer, he has accumulated more than 185,000 in-game kills.

In a video posted on the Internet (embedded below) he plays for over seven hours straight, at the end of which he held the top spot on the Modern Warfare 3 (MW3) leaderboard.

Ah, but sadly, he was not allowed to take his Xbox 360 with him to jail. Thus, he has been surpassed by one Arazos, who currently has 9.09 million points on the MW3 leader boards, compared to Megaracer’s 9.05 million.

Even without that, it seems that Arazos has been “more efficient” than Megaracer. Arazos has 181,000 kills and 63,418 deaths, for a kill/death ratio of 2.87, which is much better than Megaracer’s 180,980 kills and 86,241 deaths, which is a kill/death ratio of 2.10.

We don’t expect Megaracer to be playing anytime soon, so Arazos should be able to put more distance between himself and Dotcom.
