Playlist Boosting

Long time halo veteran, first time poster.

Apparently in todays community of gaming that is now controlled by little kids, having good stats a high kd and high rank is whats most important and apparently denotes how much of a good player you are. Im not going to harp on the last 2,397 pages of threads regarding the broken MP although i agree with the vast majority of them.

I always knew 343 was going to come to the rescue of the kids, noobs and casual gamers as they are the majority not the pros or the veterans. I am however going to touch on boosting in certain playlists that effect the gaming experience of others, one would think that we would learn from the trolls of reach, grifball boosting kd, 6 player parties in multi-team, 2-3 in rumble pit teaming up on the randoms.

Yet somehow in all of 343s almighty wisdom, they create a playlist thats new and different from previous ones “Regicide” don’t put a party cap on it and then create a challenge to win 117 games in war games in wait for it…1 MONTH!

That is how long these children are going to enter that playlist with 2 or 3 people in a party, one gets king while the others protect him and just -Yoink!- kills for the remainder of the game making this game not so new and different but boring and pointless. What a waste of a playlist when we could of had snipers, double team or even action sack!

I loved the campaign and thought spartan ops was a good touch beside being an exact model of another popular 1st person shooter set in “modern times”. That game series has over 40 million monthly users i dont know why you would even compete with it.

I think this games maultiplayer is a failure and only time will support this.

And your PR skills leave a lot to be desired where is your response to these thousands of pages of complaints? a simple post to let us know that you are working on it and investigating these issues.

Spoilers: The challenge is purpose built to catch boosters.

im all for a good K/D but boosting for anything sickens me. When you get those messages from people asking for people to help boost, it makes me sick. Play the game like you are supposed to, then if you have a good KD, ill be impressed. But boosting is utterly ridiculous and this challenge only encourages it.

boosters dont bother me as long as they are not effecting my enjoyment of the game. what your talking about with Regicide is crap and needs to stop.

when someone with a high SR is in a lobby with me im not expecting them to be awesome anyways, so boost your brains out for all i care.
if you wanna boost go in a maxed out party and let the people who wanna play for real play.

let them boost their xp all they want but keep em from effecting the game… they could be lvl 1000 and they still going to be just as bad as the lvl 10 but with a fancy spartan

I know a guy; KingofLove35, if you ask him to boost he will be all for it, he sucks and thinks and goes negative even though he boosts.

I honestly think playlist boosting is the last thing we need to worry about. People boosted in Reach from the second the game came out until the day before Halo 4.

343 needs to fix all the hundreds of bugs and imbalances first, then get rid of the boosters and afker’s… trust me i cant stand them as well >:(

I call into question if a booster is worthless. I say yes. I also see them easily being criminals because it calls into question their morals.
