I've been playing this game since the day it came out and earned a respectable ranking of #18 for Kill Confirmed on PS3. I enjoy the game mode and it's especially fun to go out and chase MOAB's, because there is plenty of time to go and get bulk amounts of kills.
However, these is one thing that makes this game mode terrible...
The amount of boosting with the Tactical Insertion has become a MAJOR problem in this game mode. People using the Tactical Insertion need to be looked at, especially those with very high amounts of 'denies. The reason I need people to notice this is because IW is hopeless at banning those who are blantantly going against the Terms Of Service and making us legitimate players look bad by doing this:
Simple solution - REMOVE THE TI FROM KILL CONFIRMED!
People out there do use the TI properly in KC and I know someone will address this, but the TI is causing major troubles in KC, especially in 2v2 Face-Off modes. Something needs to be done, especially when you see that one player has 4 confirms, 2 kills and over 50,000 denies. IW has to clean this mess up... and fast.
I think it's smart to use tac insertions for Kill Confirmed just to stay away from being spawn trapped, or to throw the opposing players off gaurd. And I don't mind people who just tac insert, then try to move on to killing and I get him 2 seconds after. they quickly deny the tag then I kill them again before tac insert.
But what really baffles me is people who camp on their tac insert and just do it to collect the xp from denying their own tag. I don't know if it's a legit tactic or not, it's frustrating though.
So has that ever been proven to be considered boosting? Or is it legit? I'm sorry if this has been discussed in countless threads.
All I know I refuse to use the tac insertion because I can't live without other equipment. Plus the whole glowing red thing can be seen by anyone not named Helen Keller.
Sorry about the red font, it looks like dog turd now that I think about it :/
A player names elitekiller2411 was doing this method and in two months, went from 5,000,000ish to #1 in the world for KC, by doing this tactic. Three days after he became #1, he was banned and reset by Activision.
He came back, but this time used Face-Off to 1v1 boost in that. He hit the top 1000 in a week, but was reset by Activision again due to the fact that most of Australia/New Zealand hates him.
He's back again and playing normal KC this time, but this time he is doing this method again. It's only a matter of time before he cops a console ban.
So yeah, this is definitely bannable. More players are getting reset everyday.
That's flipping insane to get their in a week, regardless of the fact he was boosting. But it's great to see IW take care of this. Because it blows to kill multiple people then move in for the tags just for the guy with the tac insert respawn and collect his tag in a split second.
wow, that looks really boring!? you can, or i should say, i can get more points with the recon drone, go positive in kd, help the team, and win, soooo....
It's hardly a rampant problem and there's nothing to stop you tossing C4 or a semtex at them that way you destroy the insert as well these people soon bog off when their scores take a hit maybe if people just stopped using them as free kills and tried to get the deny at the same time this wouldn't be an issue.
Bit hard to do that when they're killing at close range though.
Thats where C4 is king heck the instant payback is worth takling out the TI and most of the time getting to sweep up your own tag and when they're on your team nick their tag always narks them
I totally agree with you. But best example of when you can't do this is when your playing on a map like Outpost. Crappy weather conditions making it hard to see far unless your rocking a Thermal Scope or Marksman. The enemy is almost on the otherside of the map and I spot him with Marksman and take the player out no problem. But what stinks is the player I killed is laying on his tac insertion easily respawing and denying my tag then taking me out on top of it. I'm not mad he killed me by anymeans. But the player didn't have to work for his deny. Then easily tac inserts again till we finally reach his destination to RPG or C4 the enemy along with the Tactical Insertion. And C4 doesnt help your case from far distances. A noob tube and RPG might, but you better get it in one shot.
Thats kinda my point why bother with the distance kill after the 1st time? don't bother waiting for your teammates (I play solo) take the alternative route and put him down chuck on top these guys are predictable on most maps and it gets easier once you know theres a TI sitter in the room it's easy to keep their score squished down while piling on their deaths seems to put them off pretty quick.
To be honest the few i've seen have been very ~meh~ they'll get the odd tag but most of the time it's just explosive of choice and a free deny.
I can't count the number of times when a Tac Insert booster has submarined my team. The legit players bust azz to get the win and some selfish scrub screws it up. Report, Rinse, Repeat!
IW has to realize what's up, especially on Double XP weekends.
I ran into this same guy in a lobby a couple of days ago, he was number one in KC and bragging about it, even though all his other stats are terrible. He left the game before I could play against him though as the whole lobby was giving him sh*t for being a booster.
I'm on the side of just removing tac insert from kill confirmed. Look at OMA, it was meant to cycle through classes but turned to be just used to noob tube constantly. They removed that even though there were people using it the way it was meant. They should do the same to tac insert.
