nice. i dont have a card to upload the vids lol so all i can do is actually report them and wait for them to be banned or something. they say its faster when you upload a video and seems they are right.
If they were really serious about trying to prevent boosting they would remove TI altogether it is the easiest tool for boosting. I personally think they look at boosting as just an annoyance and will only take proactive steps to ban people when they are reported.
The problem is that TI is acutally very useful for people that know how to use it properly. Yes TI gets abused sometimes by boosters but it is a very useful piece of equipment. In domination when you are protecting a flag, if you die you can spawn close by in time not to let them take that flag. Or in demolition to keep trying to arm or defend an objective. Just because a few people use it for boosting doesn't mean they should remove it from the game. The boosters get what they deserve in the end.
THE TI IS ABUSED ACROSS THE BOARD! JUST A FEW ABUSES BELOW! WATCH THE VIDEO TOO, BECAUSE I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS WASN'T ADDESSED AT ELITE WEEK!
Lay TI
Get killed by booster who is boosting for a MOAB
The killed gets his tags and the 250 points for it. 25x250 is 6250 points (plus match bonus XP)
The MOAB Booster gets his MOAB
Then they reverse it (If they’re not found by this time)
What upsets me so much, getting a kill and then because of the TI, he comes out and gets a payback…that sucks. To counter this, I have on EVERY class, SITREP PRO. So I can tell where it is and I’ll pay attention to the xxx killed xxxx on the bottom left hand of the screen.
If a whole team is using them, I set my killstreak up 5-12-17 Pred/C130/Osprey.
Why? Easy, deny their TI by high explosives and HEAP rounds (High Explosive, Anti-Personnel).
A team with TIs all over is easy to beat, you just have to not rush, you kill em, they’ll eventually start setting it up closer and closer to where they think you may be until boom, the spawn flips and you can hit them from the rear flank.
My whole team uses SITREP PRO, why? It’s the most beast perk in the game. But that’s another subject.
They should have LIMITED the TI for only CTF. Other than that…no…
At Elite Week Robert stated that:
“This is the most balanced version of MP we’ve ever done.”
“It’s all about focusing on that gun on gun game….that’s signature for our series.” (Since when is a XM25 a gun on gun battle?)
“Definitely, Definitely, no commando perk, (already built in, double up with the SMG class and put Melee on it, you basically have Commando-BS if you ask me), No Last Stand, **** you Last Stand! (Which now everyone runs with Final Stand as a deathstreak now (WHICH IS EVEN MORE BS SINCE YOU CAN ONE HAND A .50 CAL, MSR, 118, LMG…IT’S FUCKIN LAST STAND PRO, OH, DID I MENTION YOU CAN CHUCK YOUR LETHAL AND TACTICAL TOO!?).
“We have an awesome dialogue with you guys, our fans, and your feedback, we take what we’re doing and make it even better.”-REALLY? NEVER ANSWERED ANY OF THE EMAILS I SENT IN!
There is a lot wrong, but I still have a blast playing it.
I'm on the same page as you W7. And sending BanCandy these links does work. Every single one I've sent has stopped people from cheating. I just wish the penalties were more severe.
Yes, Bancandy is amazing and I truly appreciate how fast his/her response has been. This is far faster and more effective (due to video proof being sent directly) than simply reporting in-game. I have already seen Bancandy reset numerous people in a timely manner. If more of us took the time to report the boosters/cheaters directly to Bancandy, then perhaps these boosters would think twice.
I would still like to see these first time caught guys given some big negative numbers to their stats, it's a real shame that IW and Co bottled out of doing it. Just a reset is not enough for the boosters, it's not a punishment because they haven't really lost anything.
I haven't faced too many boosters in MW3, but the earlier poster had a good point about TI being an effective tool if used properly. I use TI to protect objectives or to respawn near an emplaceable killstreak to protect it from getting destroyed.
It is possible to foil boosters and rack up kill after kill after kill of guys trying to boost by identifying keeping tabs on the scoreboard, tracking suspected teammates and most importantly, using SitRep. Unfortunately, most people run around with Dead Silence and ignore one of the most valuable perks.
I have a YouTube channel dedicated to busting out boosters/cheaters. So far, everyone of the people that I've posted up have been deranked and banned. Thank you IW, for doing what you said you would!
can someone help me get these boosters stats reset. their stats arent anything worth while but im just tired of getting nuked by a moab while im doing a lone wolf operation. i didnt notice anything was going wrong untill like only 3 minutes into the game and im being nuked.. then i saw the replay and i was furious this guy: Leg0my3gg0 , goes 50 and 0. here's my youtube video of it, I also have another video of a possible health hack, i stabbed a person twice and it didnt kill him. not just once but twice this happened in the same match i stabbed him 2 times and nothing.
I only play FFA where alot of these boosters ply their trade ive caught hundreds of these numskulls but I only come across the legit T.I user the odd time most are snipers or hardcore campers and these are few and far between.I think the misuse of T.I outweighs the legit player in FFA .To be honest you dont really need a T.I for FFA but this is only my opion through many hours of playing this game mode.
In my experience boosters are the most resourceful little buggers you have ever seen. IMO to stop people from boosting/cheating/hacking just make it known that being caught doing any one of these things will garner you a perma IP ban on your console, and I bet the number of people boosting/cheating/hacking would drop to zero.
Problem with this is that the game companies will never support this, as they wont ever want to permaban paying customers.
Instead of being reset, which seemingly doesn't act as enough of a deterent, their GTs should also have a tag or something next to it that lets everyone know that they did/do it. This way, no matter what, every single game they play everyone in every lobby is aware of their history. And the tag is permanent.
Nice. It was funny, I don't care about the leaderboards but I was messing around and I notcied the guy in FFA 1st place has like 620 some kills, 72 deaths in only 33 games played. Yet he has some retarded amount of points (jeez, boosting much?)
I also find it funny that MEGARACER is still in the top 10 and that dude has been in jail for the last few months
has anyone checked the players "reset" link from above? the guy is back up to a 2.30KDR and 44% WL, prestige 4 lvl 58... and from his recent games he's boosting again... WTF IW?
