A 46-YEAR-OLD fan of Call of Duty tracked down and attacked a schoolboy who had killed his computer game character.
Mark Bradford, 46, admitted he 'just lost it' after a 13-year-old player gunned-down his character then proceeded to mock him over the microphones used in the game Call Of Duty: Black Ops.
Jobless father of three Bradford confronted the youngster at an address in Plymouth, Devon (UK), and started to strangle him.
The attack only ended when the teenager's horrified mother pulled Bradford off the boy then he left without any explanation.
The teenager's mother said: “It’s pathetic that a grown man would attack a defenceless child like this.
“If you can’t handle losing to a child then you shouldn’t be playing games.”
Bradford admitted the attack was 'moment of madness' as the child 'would not shut up'.
He said: “I'd been playing the whole day and he was baiting me and baiting me and just would not shut up.
“He went on and on and I just lost it. I hold my hands up, I lost the plot. In a moment of madness I went round to his house. I didn't know what I was going to do.”
Bradford admitted one count of assault by beating. Magistrates ordered a probation officer to prepare a full report on his background before he is sentenced.

With a mother of this intelligence, there is clearly no hope for the child, should've just let the bloke do the decent thing really.

why isn't the child getting told off? obviously he was pushing and pushing the guy, probably calling hima sad loser shitcunt with no life etc, basically being a troll, trying to get a reaction from the older guy.

Thats understandable Ben but as i said before, he only has to leave the lobby or mute him. I get annoyed at people online, especially on racing games when they just crash into you to make you lose. I'm sure people on here have also got annoyed with people on games. We dont find out where they live and hurt them though.

Also is this guy some sort of elite hacker or something. How did he know where this kid lived, looked like etc. There must be more to it than just a game on the internet, maybe he knows him. The mans sons friend or something.

The bloke must be a psycho, I've been absolutely RAGING playing online before but as soon as I switch the game off I'm fine again.
I can't imagine actually going round someone's house in real life and giving them a beating, no matter how much they've annoyed me on MW2 or whatever.

i can imagine the cheeky little kid being one of those cunts who when you talk to someone start playng music or talking crap and dont stop until you mute them, and isnt the guy meant to have mental health issues anyway?
what pissed me off more is in the paper they insisted on adding that COD promotes violence, im suprised they didnt blame the riots that happened because of it.

the people involved in the riots were poor people who couldn't afford COD, so they stole some basmati rice instead.

It said in the paper they knew each other outside of the game. Probably an "uncle" who comes round to see his mum.
