    A good idea but how do you prove the person is a booster? Does it not leave things wide open to abuse?

    A: It's only XBL/PS3 names
    and
    B: Meh, it's not like they're pedophiles. :pac:

    It's not that big a deal!

    Record them for about 80 minutes while they are boosting :P Good enough?

    Heh sorry I was just trying to be level headed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,091 ✭✭✭brian plank


    i remember one from a while ago. it was something like "bobbydazzler". thats on PSN btw.

    he's useless at the game too which i told him in a nice way at the end. :)

    Mcp1mp69 on psn.
    This thread should be changed to cover all platforms instead of just the 360 :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,649 ✭✭✭Not The Real Scarecrow


    Big hint, any one with a nuke emblem in their tag or has nuke in their clan tag.of course it doesn't mean every one, just the majority.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,708 ✭✭✭ScissorPaperRock


    I saw a guy called FutureGuy boosting on Skidrow by the shipping containers.














    /lies



    but this is why this thread is not such a good idea

    This could work, but video evidence should be a must, otherwise I could just accuse every tom dick and harry of boosting.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 779 ✭✭✭papajimsmooth


    What do you hope to achieve?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,565 ✭✭✭✭Tallon


    Just ignore them and play the game, if you catch it on video, put it up.

    What are you hoping to achieve from naming and shaming?

    Spammed abuse?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,909 ✭✭✭greenman09


    how do you record gameplay as a matter of fact. prob just a simple answer. thankfully no more glitching on this game and have never come across boosters either


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators Posts: 15,239 Mod ✭✭✭✭FutureGuy


    What do you hope to achieve?

    Good question.

    Just to clarify, I don't think anyone should name boosters without actual video proof.

    I won't be posting the video to youtube but I have contacted Infinity Ward directly stating I have video proof of 4 players boosting and was wondering if they would be banned?

    If IW set an example with what I have done, hopefully other players can do the same knowing IW takes the matter seriously.

    With that knowledge out, maybe people will think twice about boosting so we can all enjoy the game.

    I'm also doing it because I play mainly FFA and it's tiring having games ruined.

    why on earth would they be banned, its in the game, its crap i know but the fact its there, its there, the game is extremely flawed and unbalanced, what next ban the infinite n00btubers with oma trick,
    the game is a complete fook up, and once those billions of $$ keep rolling in IW dont give a toss

    Correct , there is no way on earth that they will ban or suspend them.To be honest i rarely see it happening nowadays ands it usually the french that do it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,692 ✭✭✭shawpower


    I'd say M$ are more likely to ban that IW. Given you pay a sub to M$ every year, it puts that in jeopardy if people stop playing online because they are sick of this stuff.

    Still unlikely though I'd guess. :(

    :rolleyes: so its acceptable to ruin the game for the rest of the people in the lobby just because its possible?

    no excuse tbh. regardless of what anyone says, if you play the game you know what cheating is. i didnt pay 50 quid for a game to have 2 little bend*rs touching each other in a corner getting nukes.


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


    I agree but , there will be nothing done about it,i just usually leave the game and bad rep with the boosters.

    Funny thing , glitching to 10th prestige is a suspendable offence , yet its done in a private room and no public matches are interferred with, on the other hand boosters who nuke boost or boost to get their k/d up , are disrupting the community's gameplay but yet its not a suspendable offence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 89 ✭✭Toes


    I Will be Great on Xbox live is a major booster,

    I absolutely detest boosters. I played FFA with this guy in the lobby earlier. It was on sub base it lasted three minutes before a nuke was called in. I think he was on 4th/5th prestige not sure. Its just ridiculous, im going back to mw1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,091 ✭✭✭brian plank


    PSN id's: conors-dc, teapot12 and riotmalone, all boosting in FFA this evening. luckily i was on my booster buster account and they had a nice habit of saying "im at the turret now". :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,891 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    Thinking of giving FFA a rest tbh, they're ruining it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,396 ✭✭✭Tefral


    Woot25 in FFA Lastnight in wasteland

    Took great pleasure in following him around with my Akimbo p90s on rapid fire mode...

    Cant remember the poor fool that was the pawn


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


    I have come across 2 boosters from dublin in a ffa game today unfortunatley ,
    Tyranid Luke and RaViiNg RyaaN
    Sent them a message saying i was going to shame them on boards.ie to which i got a message saying "no problem"

    just file a complaint for tampering mate. It's all you can do.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,891 ✭✭✭✭Nalz


    Don't think it does anything...read somewhere that neither Activision or Microsoft see it as "cheating". I love FFA, but the amount of games I've left early because of boosters is unreal. My win/lose ratio is shocking cas of it (its not cas I'm crap :))

    Not that it will do much good, just annoying because i never came across irish boosters before now.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,091 ✭✭✭brian plank


    i seen a few more irish lads boosting lately but i cant remember their names. terminator023 was one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,561 ✭✭✭✭Varik


    i met a good few today and then spent the next few games killing the one on the other team,
    came back to bite me as i got a lot of bad reviews now, never cheated or used a glith so kind of suck when their the ones cheating


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,091 ✭✭✭brian plank


    ryaner2k9 & moran_2k9. stupid connection went before they could be destroyed for a second game. :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,320 ✭✭✭v3ttel


    Does any one really give a sh!t about whether some random Irish lad with some random gamertag is boosting?

    Well it ruins your game so that's why no one likes them...

    Personally lately I love finding them...It's a guaranteed triple kill...

    Also file a cheat complaint...If they get enough they'll lose their gametag and have to start again...That'll learn'em...
