Andrew D. Bernstein/NBAE/Getty ImagesRandy Foye is hooked on playing "Call of Duty" for the Xbox 360.Randy Foye has always played with a shoot-first mentality on the court.
That attitude seems to carry over to his "Call of Duty" skills as well.
"Call of Duty is my favorite game," Foye tells me as I catch him on the phone during a recent Clippers road trip. "I actually caught myself this summer locking myself in my basement for hours and hours at a time playing.
"I like any of the automatic weapons in the game. Rifles are good for head shots, but to me, I want an automatic weapon where I can fire off a lot of shots and get in and out of an area quick. I'll do some sniping, but I prefer the machine guns."
And when it comes to playing the first-person shooter online, Foye admits that the competitive nature he has an athlete continues to roar on his Xbox 360.
"I'm a competitive person, but you have these people on the game eight hours a day talking trash," he says. "I'm spending the majority of my time playing basketball, but these guys are spending the majority of their time playing the game."
