Chris Bumstead once tried his hand at Call Of Duty but never touched his PlayStation after that. 

Nowadays, athletes have branched out to choose games as their pass-time as they believe it relaxes them. From the NBA to the NFL, many superstars have claimed to spend countless hours glued to their screens. For instance, LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Kevin Durant, and a few more promised to be Call Of Duty enthusiasts, even mentioning the title in between games. 

And today, we have another massive superstar from the bodybuilding world who once tried his hand at Call Of Duty. While he enjoyed the bit for quite some time, he soon had his breaking point, after which he never returned. 

Chris Bumstead rages in Call Of Duty Modern Warfare while getting through quarantine blues 

The lockdown was hard. Be it any industry, everyone was trying to get through it. And for that, they tried everything possible despite being rookies at it. For instance, a pioneer of the bodybuilding industry, CBUM tried his hand at Call Of Duty. 

In 2020, Chris Bumstead uploaded a bunch of videos playing the Activision-owned title. It was his way of relaxing in-between workouts, let alone entertaining fans on Youtube. However, things did not go according to plan, as one of his videos featured the 4x Olympia raging on screen. In his April 6 video, he showcased a few of his games from Modern Warfare, spanned across all maps. 

Some popular maps that got featured were Crash, Hackney Yard, Shootout, and more. But in all of them, one thing remained similar, and that was Chris Bumstead giving his best to survive. Sadly, the ball was never in his quote, as his opponents destroyed him at spawn. And with that, he soon reached his breaking point, promising to never play the game again. 

Although Chris’ 10-minute video featured one of his best games. In that, he had 17 kills and finished second on the board, seizing the win for Coalition. However, that stood as the final game for the bodybuilder as he said, “17 and 9 that is literally probably the best game of call duty I’ve ever played in my life and with that I’m going to turn off the PlayStation and never play this again so thank you all for watching.”
