MODDER CATEGORY
Upholder
Illinois' veteran modder Upholder is nominated in the modder category
for his work in the Heat of Battle mod, where he was the head coder. Heat
of Battle was the original domination gametype for CoD and was brought
back by BritishBulldog1 and his colleagues into CoD4. Instrumental in resuscitating HoB for CoD4 was Upholder!
Fritz
Fritz runs Fritzmods.com and the 420th servers. Running the 420th, a
community of players that grew out of a former UN gaming server, along
with Taco (the voice of the 420th), Fritz nurtured the group of
ex-UN'ers to greater heights back in the hey-day of CoD2. The
phenomenal popularity of the 420th was due mainly to the insanely
brilliant map selections. High velocity gaming is what the 420th was
all about...that and the infamous spawn-raping (search for "Yuko" on
BASHandSlash) that would occur there. Fritz also made quite a few
specialized maps for the groups including the Yuko-like "Fritzkrieg".
PLAYER CATEGORY
Adam "Deny" Phan
Some consider Adam Phan (aka Deny), from Waterloo Ontario, one of the
most phenomenal players in CoD4 history. One thing is for sure, he is
considered one of the best spec-ops players to ever pick up an AK74u
and this should easily put him in the Hall. Making a name with Nexus
and Gruffalo, he moved on to Team EG where he garnered the undivided
attention of the CoD gaming world.
I have personally scrimmed
with Deny and he un-deny-iably amazing. A flanking-attacker, all I
remember seeing of him was a blur, followed by a flash. He is smart,
elusive and consistent. A dangerous attacker, he added a third
dimension to EG which turned a #2 team into World Champions in CoD4
garnering first place at The Experience.
Robert "Morg" Black
From Sussex, in the UK, Morg has been Tournament Admin for CDC4 and the
Multiplay series (i33). He was the project manager and prime mover
behind both ProMod and the CoD DAMN mod. And of course he was team
manager of Four-Kings, Dignitas and MYM.
Ian "IanLP" Tannehill
From Louisiana, currently the "Head of Game" for the CEVO CoD4 section.
Ian has spent years building up competitive the CoD4 competitive eSport
scene in North America. In addition, he spends this working life saving
people: he's a real-world fire-fighter.
