‘Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare’ Dev Breaks Out the Ban Hammer for ‘Reverse Boosting’

Online multiplayer has long been Call of Duty’s most important feature. Helping the series rise to the top of competitive eSports; where it now offers million dollar prize pools. All of that attention is something that Activison and Sledgehammer Games are eager to continue fostering. An important part of that plan is ensuring that Call of Duty multiplayer remains fair.

Good. It's a scrubby little thing to do anyway.

isa_scout3800d ago

They need to start banning people who play infected with friends and just sit there with a Tac insert letting friends kill them so they can drop a DNA bomb. I've seen so many people doing this it's crazy.

Skate-AK3800d ago

People have done that since Tac's were introduced to the series back in MW2. It crazy. Think the company would have some kind of safeguard against it.

Zenith4k3800d ago

They should also be found and beaten with a hammer iv never seen it but if your that sad to do it you need to be beaten to hopefully give you a sense of life back

Svinya3800d ago

Remember de-leveling in Halo 2? That was annoying..

ziggurcat3800d ago

what the heck is reverse boosting??

Svinya3800d ago (Edited 3800d ago )

Deleveling. Killing yourself over and over again for matchmaking to put you with newbies so that you can dominate, and making your team lose in the process..

jmc88883799d ago

Yeah what happens if you let a friend, little sibling, parent, or grandparent play?

You know it's not hard for any of the above to go 0-25 in a match.

That is a shame. AW is my favourite CoD. I hope they do a sequel one day.

LordoftheCritics803d ago

Thoroughly enjoyed AW.

Good campaign and everything.

LOGICWINS803d ago

Same. Fantastic campaign, but I wasn't crazy about the jetpacks in multiplayer.

RaidenBlack803d ago

I still prefer CoD based on historical settings or in near future settings(like CoD: Ghost) ... even though I liked infinite Warfare's campaign ... it was top notch

CobraKai803d ago

I felt it was a good time to revisit WW2

porkChop803d ago

I actually really enjoyed WWII. I never understood the hate it got.

JEECE803d ago

A lot of people who never played a shooter prior to like 2012 get really mad about anything that isn't a modern combat game.

Here’s hoping that a sequel just doesn’t happen.

Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare remains the series' lone bright spot this gen

GR: "If one series truly defined the seventh generation of consoles it was Call of Duty. Sadly, the series has struggled to reach the same heights on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One and only Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare feels like the previous era of innovation and top-notch storytelling."

I quite enjoyed it but I think black ops 3 was the high point.

Modern warfare could be if a few tweaks are made and the new maps are good.

Baza2052d ago (Edited 2052d ago )

Story wise.. black opps 3 was all over the place. Modern Warfare story is so much more cohesive and actually makes sense.

Immorals2052d ago

Black ops 3 was terrible. The story was absolutely atrocious.

Knushwood Butt2052d ago

I quit that campaign after about an hour. All I remember is some crappy robot drone combat R2D2 thing that you had to use. I didn't make it past that.

Epicor2051d ago

For me the Black Ops installations have always been the high peaks in terms of PVP mode. Black ops 3 campaign was pretty bad though. Advanced Warfare's campaign was pretty good, one of the best ones - but PVP was bad!

gamer92052d ago

LOL Advanced Warfare, too funny

The campaign was OK, but the guns sounded like cap guns and the multiplayer maps were not memorable at all.
