    I'm curious to see how many girlfriends/wives/partners/nightly lady friends play CoD, if so, are they any use at it?

    My missus can't play for shit. I threw her into a Combat game on Nuketown, TDM, Easy enemies and 4 v 4 (I think). Bless her, she didn't kill a single person :o

    Personally, I'm happy with the way it is though. Yea it's a bit annoying when I pull off some super epic awesome kill and I've no one to turn to and say "holy shit did you just see that?!" Or when I find a class video from here and I show her and she says something like "why did he twirl around when shooting? Real men dont do that in war"

    But then on the other hand, it'd break my heart and soul if my missus was better than me.

    Well it does take a left hand and a right hand to play. In a roundabout way, yes :p

    Thankfully my missus has no interest in video games . In saying that one of my offspring likes to use second chance , noob tube and pretty much anything else he can get his hands on to blow stuff up , and then theres his younger brother who's just a natural , funny to hear him calling the other one a camper and a noob.:)

    I was at a LAN party at my friends house last summer and a few of our girlfriends came along. We let them play a FFA and I swear to christ it was the most frustrating thing I have ever witnessed in my life.

    My gf got motion sickness after a few minutes :P

    Nah, my ex despised COD. I remember playing the No Russian mission in MW2 infront of her and her friend. Twasn't a smoovemove.

    She preferred playing this abomination though -_-

    She has little interest in FPS games but she does and has played video games for years.

    She even helped me get some of the veteran challenges on MW2 Spec Ops with the chopper when I was without internet! :D

    My wife has played a tad bit of COD4 and Blops, nothing serious though. She's more of a Sims head. She's reproduced exact replica's of our parent's houses, scaled properly and right down to the last minute detail. Absolutely crazy. I keep trying to get her into Minecraft as she was helping me last night with the rail construction, but she won't budge :D
