Navagon: The cops know his gamertag. They don't know where he is, but they know what he's doing (playing MW2).

Wishbone: Now, if only MW2 had had actual server support, instead of the crappy random-client-is-server gimmick, that might actually have enabled them to track him down.

No real difference, unless you mean BC2-style servers where they are all at the same few farms. You would still need to request information from the server admin. Only difference is it is a user who would send the log, rather than a facility.

Navagon: This isn't improving my opinion of the average intelligence of MW2 players (sorry Michael :P).

Hey. Hey. HEYYYY.

Navagon: Ha, maybe. It's the console version though. Dedicated servers are an unrealistic expectation.

Uhm, why?

honorbuddy: I'm really bothered by how they wrote "May had been seeing hanging..." Do they not edit their content before they publish it? I only read Kotaku when people here link to it so I don't really know if their staff knows how to read and write or not.

This part's even worse:
"May could face up to five years or a $25,000 fine on the first charge and up to five years or a $500 fine and imprisonment of up to two years on the second charge."

honorbuddy: Did I not read the correct article? What does it have to do with MW2?

Microsoft has tracked down people logged in before. They can do it again.

I guess there was a breach of security there.

Yeah I know, I couldn't even follow that sentence which is why I didn't bother with it.

Wonder if there's a flash game out about this yet

I would have thought it was possible. I'd be surprised if the police haven't asked MS already.

It's by no means impossible. But it doesn't seem to be something you can expect from console games in the same way you can with PC.
