Not picking up tags is boosting? I pick up tags all the time when playing with a team, but when I run solo those rare few times, i'm not going to risk my neck trying to rush out and grab every single tag I come across, just to get shot because idiot teammates. I generally make the kill and grab the tag if it's close enough. If it's farther away, and my team is sucking, i'll leave it, because if I get killed along with my teammates, i'm contributing to enemy killstreaks, which'll make it harder on me to make tags for my team to collect.

But you say that you sign out of any MOAB match? Do you sign out of any Type 95/ACR/MP7 match too? It's not healthy to take a video game that seriously. I don't agree with people sitting in corners all game, but I don't sign out because of it.

sorry but thats just pathetic. i agree that a retarded monkey could get a moab in a objective based game mode by kill whoring, but to dashboard every siingle time one is called in is down right a douche move. Im a huge objective player, and any flag that you see getting capped, you can pretty much guarantee ill be on it. So i only shoot for MOABS in TDM, thegame mode where kills actually matter. And youre telling me , that even though i earned my moab running around killing people, youre still going to dash, because youre that big of a sore loser?

Im guessing he was leader of the party? Then quit the game with the whole team going back to the menu screen? That is hilarious and well played. Kudos to you. Just this weekend there were 3 people that joined the lobby and started saying how they were gonna get 2 MOABS in the game etc... Real douchebag talk. I guess he wasn't counting on my clan being noobs. To his surprise after he started going negative in his k/d,I was fortunate enough to kill him and heard him telling his teammates "we aren't gonna get a MOAB here" soon after they all leave,making teams way uneven. Can't stand those players.

what would this do for kill boosters

2 things I'd like to say. I disagree with anyone who sets out to get a MOAB in objective game modes, and frequently deny people obviously trying for it. If I fail and they get it, I dashboard. It's happened twice on Domination recently, both times the other side were losing by a margin they couldn't come back from so the jackass doing it wasn't helping his team in any way, shape or form. However, sometimes people just get lucky. I've only had one and that was in face off 3v3 KC, I was playing with 2 mates and collecting tags, though towards the end when I realised I was in with a chance I started calling out the tag locations for them to pick up. I got the MOAB and we won the game by considerable margin. Sometimes people just get lucky, though it's usually obvious if they're trying for it.

Agreed. You need a mixture of strategies to be successful.

When people are being completely useless tools Ive stepped in. Never dashboarded, but since I play domination I can either triple cap in a game we are winning to end it faster, and/or flip the spawns and disrupt them. These guys typically feed off your rage anyways, best way to hit them where it hurts is by flipping spawns or finding away to end the game faster.

Lot of people here seem to think MOABs in obj games are wrong. Ive gotten enough to fill my vault and then some, and won all but 2 or 3 of those games to boot. Hell, sometimes the MOAB is what let us lock up a very close game. I dont do it posted up in the other guys spawn, I do it by guarding the flags (an objective btw) since you can get a lot of kills there, and then once I hit 18 or so I take a lap around the map. Even when gaurding the flags I cant just sit still because if you dont shift around you start getting pre fired and nade spammed. This stratgey has worked with a solid team as well as a team of random idiots.

The real skill is in anticipating what the other guys response to you killing him will be, and then put yourself one step ahead of him. In a sense I am always going for a MOAB in that I never want to die, but the response doesn't have to be autodouche.

I had one of my own teammates trap me in the corner of a room near C on Lockdown (while reloading after a fight) despite the fact that we had 2 flags, I was defending one, and was moving all over my quadrant to stay ahead of these guys, who were non stop trying to bust in and flip us back to A. The fact that I was 20-0 had nothing to do with camping or not playing the objective, I was just fortunate that these guys were so hell bent on killing me that they kept giving me opportunities for kills that I capitalized on. I was pretty pissed about that, and justifiably so. Would have been my first AA12 MOAB.

The same happened to me on Kill Confirmed. Two players called in a M.O.A.B. from different teams on Arkaden two days ago then the same two players joined in today on Village and did the same thing. I hope something gets done by this!

 

Their names were AJaZe and WhiteM8!

What do you expect IW to do?  They lacked foresight by not making the MOAB 25 confirmed kills.  Perhaps it was even intended.  The MOAB is featured in  Barebones, you know, the game mode that is supposed to not have killstreaks.  If IW made the MOAB 25 confirmed kills, and all other killstreaks counted for confirmed kills, I suspect it won't be as a popular game mode as it is now.

sounds like jealousy to me.

If it was any MOAB may be you'd have a point but he's singled out KC.  Quite often when a player calls in a MOAB in KC, their team are losing, and losing bad.  If they made the MOAB only for TDM and FFA, there wouldn't be this stupidity in the first place.
