CoD2 player levitates during scrim

Levitation earns player uber pwner status

SWAMPGAS, FL - In a stunning development in the gaming world, new Call of Duty 2, Devil-Dogz recruit, {DD}BrOtHeRGaNoOsH, has apparently mastered the secret of levitation during a TWL sanctioned scrim.

In a BASH exclusive, photographs of
BrOtHeRGaNoOsH performing this mystical act, are categorical confirmation that he was able to momentarily suspend the laws of gravity.

A few prominent physicists contacted by BASH, unwilling to allow their names to be published due to fears of being ridiculed by their peers, have now even speculated that gravity may now actually be demoted from a law to a mere "guideline" as a result of this spectacular feat.

Levitation, or psychokinesis (PK) is defined as the ability to lift into the air without any visible physical means and float or fly around. The phenomenon has been said to have occurred in the past and limited to shamans, mediums or persons demonically possessed. This is the first time it has ever been associated with a video game avatar.

BASH was not able to contact "the Noosh" as BrOtHeRGaNoOsH is known in CoD2 gaming circles, he did leave the following voicemail greeting on his answering machine: "Yo, I'm not home right now - leave a message (grunt sound)".

The grunt sound was clearly audible in the recording and sent chills up this reporter's spine when it was overheard. BASH staffers also reported hearing what sounded like someone opening a can of beer at the end of the recording, but this could not be substantiated.

Friends of "the Noosh" speculate that he has somehow uncovered this long lost artform from the few texts left behind by 10th century Arab historian, Abul Hasan ("Bubba") Ali Al-Masudi. Al-Masudi is known for writing a 30 volume history of the world, in which, he commented on the fact that the pyramids were built by Egyptians levitating rocks on magic papyrus.

One CoD2 gamer, TotalKrap, claims to have seen "the Noosh" accidentally text chat "/bind F magicpapyrus" onto the screen, rather than in console just before he allegedly began to float. Other players contacted by BASH are not so sure and say that he merely pressed the jump key and only seemed to float. Clearly, these people have not seen the visual evidence.

Regardless of its tactical significance, {DD} BrOtHeRGaNoOsH, has achieved CoD2 uber pwner status for this fantastic stunt.
