A top Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 player has reset his scores in order to avoid continual harassment and DDoS attacks on his account.<\/p>\n

According to a Reddit thread, the player who goes under the name “Retrominano,” was apparently top of the Black Ops 2 player lists on Xbox Live, and constantly received personal attacks from \u201cjealous players\u201d.<\/p>\n

Instead of trying to deal with all the hassle he was getting, Retrominano thought it was easier to just reset his account and start from scratch again.<\/p>\n

According to some of the comments, this isn\u2019t the first time Retrominano has done this, as he previously reset his Modern Warfare 2 stats out of \u201cboredom\u201d.<\/p>\n
