    Would you take that kill for 5 mill points jump out and hit the prestige button , or would you jump out of the room ?

    do me a favour will you - I keep hearing this xp thing. What's the go? You get mega points for one kill or something?

    If that's the case, I wouldn't do it. It'd be nice to rank up, but I'd know I hadn't earned it.

    FYP

    No, I wouldnt cheat, it's retarded.....
    I'd just leave the room

    I'd leave the room, as it is I'm constantly leaving games when I start to hear 'Enemy care package incoming' over and over again every 3 seconds :mad:

    xp lobbys are run by people who have a jtag xbox , you can do games in super speed ,super jump etc , you can also play global thermalnuclear warefare (another gamemode) also they can set up a lobby where you get 5 million points for a kill, or they can set up a lobby where you can get -5 million points a kill.

    The reason i asked this question in the first place was because i found myself in this situation , and yes i took the kill .
    Reasons why , i loved cod 4 and got to tenth prestige in about 12 days , very enjoyable game. This game seems to have too many boosters and glitches , its hard to fine a room where there are none, on top of that my connection is rubbishfrom 6 pm to 12 midnight so i usually cant play with my friends , if i do go on after midnight we do private matches which i really enjoy, so yeah i decided that i'd take that kill rank up and take that kill again , and use that account for private matches.
    Flipside i probably will never bring that account online again as, as a few of the above posters have written , i dont feel i have earned the rank , so i was prestige 5 rank 42 , but now if i play online i am a lowly rank 13 first time round .
    Alot of people on my main accounts friends list have asked how to get into a room with an xp lobby and i was wondering if push came to shove what would you do ?

    Now that is one glitch that is most annoying , i bring out the rocket launcher and try to bring down the air as quickly as i can.

    Can't see the point in prestieging to 10 by cheating, surely half the fun of the game is leveling up. When you reach the top all you can go on is trying o get high on the leaderboards or just playing it for the fun of it. Reckon it takes the longevity out of the gamne altogether.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    I wouldn't, seeing as MS will be banning anyone who has glitched. Not worth it at all IMO.

    I would in a heartbeat. I play fps games to pit my hand and mind against another human on a even setting. If I wanted to spend my time grinding to gain a advantage over other players I would go back to playing WOW.

    I would love to see the reaction. Banning peoples accounts who ended up a lobby by accident and hit a flaw in their product.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,183 ✭✭✭✭Atavan-Halen


    There's no problem with being in a lobby with others who have glitched, they're only banning people who have glitched themselves.

    Cant see that happening, suspensions yes but bans no , microsoft are more interested in going after the jtagers.

    Thank you for being honest , 90% of my friends list want to know where to get this done , age ranges from 18 to 45 , Irish , english, scottish, welsh and american.
    I have another friend who is a tenth prestige 70 and everytime he goes into a room he either gets called a glitcher or booster, when he leaves the room he gets messages from the people that were abusing him, asking himif he can get them to tenth.

    Moral of the story , in public the they abuse the glitcher , in private they want it .

    In cod 4 i had the m16/mp5 starting off every prestige, only 2 guns i used , where as mw2 is so unbalance , ninja at 29 which leaves you open to heartbeat sensors.
    As i said before i have started playing online with another account and at the lowly rank of 13 , i am being thrown in with people that have prestiged up to 8 times , another unbalance in the game.

    Can someone please explain to me what this non-stop care package and 5M XPs etc. is all about?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,885 ✭✭✭Optimalprimerib


    i think i was in one before. Is this where everything is superfast like you are skating?

    Anyhoo i didnt take advantage as i thought it was a wierd form of lag.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,399 ✭✭✭✭r3nu4l

    Non-stop care packages.

    There is a glitch in the game whereby once you get your first care package, it is possible to use it but then immediately call in another one. I'm not explaining how it's actually done but you will notice in some games that the enemy keep getting care package after care package and that's usually because one guy is glitching.

    did I read that right? you'd cheat to make the game more even?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,277 ✭✭✭✭Rb


    This game is a serious mess.

    Depend on what you got for a kill , rooms like super fast , super jump and gtnw they are easily infected.

    First off who is he cheating ? only himself because he didnt get it legitamatily , its the same as someone stoping at 70 the first time round , but in this case just going to 10th rank 70.

    He would not be wrecking anyone elses game by nuke boosting or doing the care package glitch, which is worse imo.

    Yes. I don't know where this trend started with fps games and giving huge advantages to people who play for longer but it sickens me to my core. I find it disgusting that somebody who just picks up the game and gets started at this point is immediately at a huge disadvantage to other players.

    I never thought of it like that before :) I see what you mean, but the the main satisfaction for me is unlocking stuff.

    Cheating is ****ing stupid whichever way you look at it.

    Cheating,

    "Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others,"


    A unfair advantage, like having all the weapons and perks unlocked and 10 different setup's to choose from. Sounds like xp lobbys put everybody on a even footing, creating a balanced game.

    is this only on xbox?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,009 ✭✭✭Shammy


    As far as i know yes , with an xbox that has been jtagged.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,256 ✭✭✭c0rk3r


    it sickens me to my core.

    Thats abit melodramatic. If its sickens you to your core then for gods sakes man stop playing the video game. It'll be bad for your mental health. What you consider cheating is a slippy slope. On domination do you consider the team thats spawns at flag C on sub base cheaters because the camouflage they wear sticks out that much more. Where do you stop ? I think you're liberally using the word "advantage" to try turn something into something its not. When you first pick up a game you're never on a level (pun intended) playing field with someone who's been playing it a while. The weapons at the early stages of the game are good enough. Theres no colossal difference

    With regards to the xp exploit, Ive no problem with it. Being level 70 prestige 10 means nothing to me.
