This is not NEW news, but I just wanted to re-hash it, cause I happen to find it very funny. Yes those peeps out there that took advantage of an “exploit” in Modern Warfare 3 where you could get unlimited “Tokens” therefore giving you unlimited Double XP don’t think it was such a good idea now, LOL Before I laugh too hard about it and upset those that did, YES, it was IW/SHG fault that the exploit existed in the first place; however, they did not force you to make the decision to use it, thus giving yourself a huge advantage in prestiging, etc.. There were many CODBUNKER CLAN mates that I just couldn’t keep up with, and comparing stats, I didn’t know why (I was smart enough to do the math in my head and “new” what they were doing, yet they would deny it) But now those 8-10th prestiges are ZERO. But the kicker which I find hilarious (not trying to throw salt on the wound…..but) they didn’t reset ALL stats, just stuff like ALL your kills but LEFT ALL the deaths, the wins got erased, but not the losses. So those that did this with KDR’s of 2.50 or better are now at 0.14 and Win Ratios of 0.02 It will take until Black Ops 2 comes out for them to get to an EVEN status now………..WOW. That was PERFECT. Here is why I say perfect: I don’t feel that such an infraction hurt anybody but themselves; therefore, I’m glad they didn’t get Banned (I think this would’ve been WAY OFF BASE) but what they did do, IMHO is the perfect solution, because it affects only them.
Ok, I’m off that subject now, I just couldn’t resist when talking a bit about it, cause I see SO MANY Prestige 1′s nowadays and checking leaderboard stats, I laugh every time. In the meantime, I’m sitting at 6th almost 7th prestige, with 1.11 KDR and 4.28 Win Ratio………..ALL LEGIT. Catch me if you can
Many of you may have already heard of SOPA yet there are millions of you that haven’t, and those that haven’t taken action. The time for taking action is NOW!!!!! Before you think CODBUNKER has gone “rogue” with Politics (we typically maintain anti-political stance and stick to CALL OF DUTY only) watch the video and read this and SHARE it with you friends. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT, since it is very strong in the USA’s Legislature and stands a GOOD chance of passage, due in part to Hollywood & the entertainments Lobbying and backing.
What is SOPA?
In a nutshell, the idea SEEMS to be legitimate and worthy, as the main theme is to enable governments to block sites (mainly offshore) that do file sharing of copyrighted material (MP3 sharing, Movie Peer to Peer type sites) which is understandable and “noble” if you will.
HOWEVER, as governments typically go, they ALWAYS go beyond the reach of the initial cause, due to “legaleaze” and has a very REAL potential to shut down most of our Social Media sites (Twitter, FB, Youtube etc…) by holding them accountable for you and I posting something that MAY be construed as “illegal” such as singing a song on Youtube, or having music in the background, or a video clip that the “Big Corporations” deem they have ALL rights to (which could be used to circumvent the “Fair use Act”) The wording in the Bill before our Congress (USA) is vague enough to enable Government censorship of the ENTIRE internet. I don not NEED to tell you what a “GAME CHANGER” for freedom of expression and the death of the internet this would be.
CODBUNKER is based in Virginia, USA and we are personally going to contact the Representatives from this area (Senators: Jim Webb & Mark Warner, and Congressman Randy Forbes, and EVEN President Barrack Obama.) We suggest you do the same as this is a vital election year and you need to let your Rep’s know that YOU will hold them accountable come election time!!!! I use an APP on my Android Phone called “Congress” search it in the “Market” and I’m sure iPhones & iPads have the same type of APP. Also you can find your Rep’s here: CONTACT United States Government Officials.
As far as other countries (non USA) you should get ahead of this and make sure nothing like this is in the works, because if the USA has a bill for it, especially if it passes, then there it will surely be coming your way as well!!!
STOP THE SOPA NONSENSE, GET INVOLVED NOW. (more notes below video)
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Many MAJOR internet sites that have opposed this bill are: Google, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Amazon, AOL, Reddit, Mozilla, LinkedIn, IAC, Ebay, Paypal, WordPress and Wikimedia to name a FEW. And many of these sites are considering or committed to an INTERNET BLACKOUT on January 18, 2012 (Next Wednesday)!!!

Activision announced the DLC Map Packs are due out FIRST on XBOX for ELITE Premium members on January 24, 2012 (Partial Press Release below). Modern Warfare 3 will soon have 2 multiplayer maps “Liberation” (Based in New York) and “Piazza” (Based in Italy) and as always Xbox first then all others, typically 30 days later. Please don’t ask they SAME question, “What about Playstation?” If you have forgotten already the Microsoft Deal, I’ve added it’s partial Press Release from ATVI at the very bottom as well. I’m not sure exactly how this will work for non ELITE members, yet………I’m not even sure if IW or SHG does yet either but as a Premium ELITE, you will see it first, as well as, EXCLUSIVE content, and always XBOX first. I know this seems confusing to many, too be honest, I slightly confused myself, but at any rate they are coming and no matter which platform you prefer,they will be here soon enough, so let’s just be patient……..K
Below is video to help explain more and reveal some of these maps, but be sure to READ the PR’s below for more specifics, especially the last one that seems anger PS3 Peeps EVERY time there is a DLC. Look on the bright side though PS3 peeps, note it states “through 2012″, well that’d mean one year left of this contract, unless MSFT dumps more money on the table (which they probably will, LOL)

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Jan. 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Modern Warfare® 3 blazes into 2012 with the debut of all-new multiplayer maps Liberation and Piazza, the front line of the Modern Warfare® 3 Content Season for Call of Duty® Elite, nine consecutive months of epic downloadable content that commences January 24th for Xbox Live users. Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI), revealed today that the content will be available first for Call of Duty® Elite’s premium members on Xbox LIVE, followed by additional platforms at a later time. From January through September, Call of Duty Elite premium members on Xbox LIVE will receive regular updates of all new content totaling at least 20 content drops.
The Modern Warfare 3 Content Season for Call of Duty Elite will include a broader variety than ever, with brand new multiplayer maps, Special Ops Missions, new game modes and more. While Call of Duty Elite premium subscribers get the new content first, as promised, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 fans who want to buy the content a la carte as they have in the past, will be able to purchase the content via Modern Warfare 3 Content Collections.
“The mammoth launch of Modern Warfare 3 and the breakout success of Call of Duty Elite were just the beginning. Call of Duty Elite provides an ‛always-on’ connection to our fanbase, and the MW3 Content Season is the ultimate way to demonstrate our ongoing commitment to the Call of Duty community and provide tremendous value to Call of Duty Elite premium members,” said Eric Hirshberg, CEO of Activision Publishing. “With the Call of Duty®: MW3 Content Season for Call of Duty Elite we are delivering on our promise of more new content, more often, and with more variety than ever. With three studios collaborating on the first season, the breadth and depth of material on tap is truly extraordinary. It’s rare you can successfully execute both quantity and quality, but thanks to the expertise of our developers, the reach of Call of Duty Elite and the passion of our fans, we intend to deliver.”
All content drops for Call of Duty Elite premium members will occur once a month, starting in January for Xbox Live users and will continue through the year, ending in September. During the first three months of 2012, Activision will release five different content drops on three occasions in January, February and March, first on Xbox Live, followed by additional platforms at a later time.
The first two Content Drops will be multiplayer maps—also playable in Modern Warfare 3 Survival Mode—that throw combatants into a war-torn Central Park and an Italian seaside village. Liberation is a vast, militarized landscape, ripe for long-range sniper and LMG fire, with mounted turrets on either end that lend power to anyone brave enough to expose themselves in exchange for deadly firepower. Piazza is the idyllic Italian getaway that is anything but, where tight corners and branching pathways pose great risk at every turn. Close-range combat dominates in Piazza, where attacks from behind, above and below are an ever-constant threat.
The third Content Drop will be available for download in mid-February and two additional Content Drops will go live in March, as premium Call of Duty Elite members will receive new content once a month through September. Also in March, the first Modern Warfare 3 Content Collection will be available for purchase by the entire Call of Duty: MW3 player community on Xbox Live………….

Before I laugh too hard about it and upset those that did, YES, it was IW/SHG fault that the exploit existed in the first place; however, they did not force you to make the decision to use it, thus giving yourself a huge advantage in prestiging, etc.. There were many CODBUNKER CLAN mates that I just couldn’t keep up with, and comparing stats, I didn’t know why (I was smart enough to do the math in my head and “new” what they were doing, yet they would deny it) But now those 8-10th prestiges are ZERO. But the kicker which I find hilarious (not trying to throw salt on the wound…..but) they didn’t reset ALL stats, just stuff like ALL your kills but LEFT ALL the deaths, the wins got erased, but not the losses. So those that did this with KDR’s of 2.50 or better are now at 0.14 and Win Ratios of 0.02 
It will take until Black Ops 2 comes out for them to get to an EVEN status now………..WOW. That was PERFECT. Here is why I say perfect: I don’t feel that such an infraction hurt anybody but themselves; therefore, I’m glad they didn’t get Banned (I think this would’ve been WAY OFF BASE) but what they did do, IMHO is the perfect solution, because it affects only them.
