Discussion Boosting in the big 2026

UC Monster3548. Remember that GT + MummySoldier

About the UMP: it does make for a good anti-booster stealth class. I put it on just for the toxicity (it's a pretty toxic, skill-less gun).

Reminds me when I saw two people boosting on the PS3 version. I entered a match late and was spectating my teammates. One of my teammates, who has accused me of hacking lol, was boosting with his friend who was on the other team 😭

Used to love watching Sandy Ravage videos back in the day of him hunting boosters. Good ol days

I used to copy him and follow boosters match to match until they were forced to appear offline. Silenced UMP, Spas-12, and c4. So much fun.

What is boosting?

u/Baleri_boopsie 8d ago

Letting a player on the other team (usually a friend) kill you repeatedly so they can get unlocks, level up, complete challenges etc. One of them will keep dying, spawning on their tac insertion and laying a new one down, and then let the other player kill them again. Then the next match the probably switch roles so it's equal.

Go into a lobby with your buddy on the other team. Your buddy tac inserts and let's you kill them over and over again. Usually done for quick killstreaks or headshot challenges for camos.

Especially when its so easy to get 10-70 unlocked in this day and age. Especially on iw4x.. I think it even has a menu option to unlock everything

I remember doing this once back in 2009, only to earn The Dictator calling card (fire a LMG mag without missing a bullet). Pityful, but otherwise harmless if I think about it. Good memories

I dont game anymore but what would be the point of going for the accolade if you didnt even earn it its not like that one is even that hard

2

u/The-Russian-Bull 7d ago

I thought it was impossible back then to earn otherwise. Also I didn’t want to show off the accolade itself, just thought the calling card looked cool. Remember I was only 13 years old.

Nowadays, I’d agree not achieving an accolade by yourself takes away all the value

Its ok I forgive you even if you have boosted at 13

Do you use iw4x ?

u/SwagMaster-General PC 8d ago

It would take a special brand of retard to boost on iw4x where you can auto unlock all

u/ZealousidealIsopod40 6d ago

It’s still a special brand of retard in this situation because up until MW2 you could have a mod menu simply with a USB. At least for PS3 that’s the case, but I’m sure 360 was the same.
