Megaupload chief loses No. 1 rank in 'Call of Duty'

Much has been said about Kim Schmitz, otherwise known as Kim Dotcom, the recently arrested mastermind behind Megaupload. Most of it centers around his decadent lifestyle, which included a lavish collection of sports cars, yachts, and mansions. But there's a virtual prize he also greatly treasured, of which most are unaware. And which he also recently lost.

Schmitz was, up until a few days ago, the top ranked player of "Call of Duty: Modern Warefare 3" in the entire world???at least among Xbox 360 players. As MEGARACER, yet another alias of his, on Xbox Live, here's footage of Schmitz nabbing the number one slot late last year:

As much hard work, skill, and dedication it takes to claim such a coveted spot, it requires just as much to keep it secure. Which, unfortunately for Schmitz, is not quite possible when you're spending time in a New Zealand prison cell.

During the week in which he wasn't been able to log into Live (and there's evidence enough to believe that he may never, for a very long time), MEGARACER was overtaken by another player who goes by the handle Arazos. According to the gaming news portion of VentureBeat, GamesBeat.

Arazos currently has 9.09 million points on the "Modern Warfare 3" leader boards, compared to MEGARACER's 9.05 million. Furthermore, Arazos has 181,000 kills and 63,418 underneath his belt, for?a kill/death ratio of 2.87,?which tops MEGARACER's record of 180,980 kills and 86,241 deaths, which is a kill/death ratio of 2.10.
