MW 2 player attempts lv70... without killing anyone
Wednesday 25-Aug-2010 2:45 PM PS3 owner looking to be first player to max out with zero kills.

Here's a man who likes a challenge; Modern Warfare 2 player, Glen McCracken is attempting to reach rank level 70 without killing a single player. That's no kills.

And why, we hear you ask, is he bothering to do that? "I've already hit Prestige five times. I thought it would be something interesting to do," he told Game Informer. "It definitely gives you a different perspective on the game, and it's fun and challenging."

In two hours of gameplay, Glen's already reached rank 5 without taking a single life. Using pacifist methods to earn XP, the extremely patient player estimates it will take him two months to be the first player to reach rank 70 with zero kills.

Currently Glen's kill to death ratio is zero kills and eighty-nine deaths. He mainly uses a riot shield and flash bang grenades to get the job done - both of which could potentially lead to a kill if the enemy is injured (risky stuff).

Glen also secures enemy flags and uses rockets to blow up killstreaks. His game time sounds like a right barrel of laughs.

If you want to give Glen a hand in reaching his goal (or grief him) he plays Modern Warfare 2 on PS3 under the name Mister_No_Kills.

thats pretty interesting. I could see why he would try it, at least it is something new. But I think he might give up when he reaches level 50 or so when it takes forever to rank up.

Yeah, eventually he will rage out the noob tube, OMA, DC kit and try to get a nuke.

UPDATE: 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.

Good for him. I don't care. Just a waste of time if you ask me.
