[cod] Call of Duty 7

[Oliver Warburton]

Tyson,

If you think that being a 'trusted' provider is entirely dictated by  
the size of the GSP, platform, staff, community following etc- I think  
you are wrong.

There are a few 'big potatoes' that have 'missed out' on hosting  
BFBC2, and at least one 'small potato' that is hosting the betas right  
now.
