    Call of Duty Links:

• BASHandSlash's Call of Duty Hall of Fame. Recognition of the 'copious talent that exists in the Call of Duty PC gaming community'.
• Infinity Ward/Activision lawsuit update. Juicy stuff again, with Ward and Zampella accusing Activision of running a 'police state'.
• Pro surfer (There are pro surfers? Really?) Bruce Irons may love gaming a bit too much. Yeah, if the cops come to your house because you're yelling loud enough to scare the neighbors, you just might have anger management issues.
