500 Kills In Black Ops Gets Player Banned

Fifteen minutes of fame has turned into Activision temporarily banning the accounts and resetting the ranks of these players. According to the community manager, it is a form of boosting and you don't want to be caught doing it.

[xxxAnubisxxx]

GOOD

[Warprincess116]

lol losers, bragging about 500 kills isn't a good thing. I like treyarch even more for banning these losers

[Godmars290]

I'm sure you would have liked them even more if they had made so some slub couldn't get 500 kills without really trying.

[rdgneoz3]

Yah, love a company that makes a broken game that you can easily get 500 kills in. I'd like them even more if they fixed their sh!t for a change.

[Echo307]

@rdg

Easily get 500 kills in?

That's why the game has been out for 4 months, millions of people have played, thousands and thousands have already hit top prestige and this is the first time we've seen it?

In order to accomplish this, you would have to know exactly where the choke points are and have multiple people lock them down in unison so the spawns are always the same. Even then, you need to have friendlies on the other team to play along. This is not easy, and if someone wanted to bad enough, this could be done in just about any online game that has maps similarly sized to Black Ops'.

Granted, spawn camping is nothing new (for any game), but doing so on this scale with this amount of success is extremely rare.

[kancerkid]

So instead of fixing spawn points (how about adding spawning onto teammates) they ban a person who was playing the game.

Although it probably was boosting because why would you let yourself get killed 250+ times like two of the opponents did.

Also, welcome to Demolition. What do they think people do in that mode?

[No Way]

Iduno.. play the game like the dumbass that I am?

[Zydake]

um i think im going to try this LOL im not hacking. I'll just exploit a glitch

[JD_Shadow]

Oh yeah! Instead of blaming Treyarch for making the system like that to make it possible for stuff like that and calling for them to fix the problem, let's just relieve them of any responsibility, basically tell them that they don't have to fix shit, and blame those that just used the system that Treyarch gave them.

Yeah, THAT'S going to get this obvious bug fixed! /s

[morganfell]

Temporarily banning? I am sure a temporary ban will teach them something, just not what they should be taught. And by now COD games should have found a solution to the boosting when the technique is the same.

Spawn camping is inexcusable when there is an easy design solution. Treyarch has been and proves they will continue to be a substandard developer.

[antz1104]

LMAO, alright guys, we get the game is broken for most of you.

Still, the company is banning people (if only temporarily) and thats never a bad thing. Give them a little credit.

[radphil]

"Still, the company is banning people (if only temporarily) and thats never a bad thing. Give them a little credit."

Banning is simple. Anyone with admin abilities on any game can do it. =|

[Soldierone]

@echo
You dont remember old FPS titles then. Quake, Battlefield, etc...They all had this issue, and developers fixed it. Treyarch simply overlooked an issue.

"they need friends on the other team"
Yeah, thus there shouldnt be any crying about them CHEATING. they deserve to be banned end of story. We already know the game is broken, so dont exploit it or accept the consequences.

Its easy to spawn camp in this game, it happens in almost every game. Luckily there are people like me with enough respect for other players to ruin the stupid trap and run up in there so they stop spawning there. When its blatantly obvious like this game why would you keep doing it? Not only that but if someone is raping the hell out of my game and going 500 and 1 id leave, so would 9 out of 10 other people, thus this is called boosting.

Games broken, its obvious. Treyarch needs to fix it yes. Does that mean you have permission to cheat? NO.

[ChrisGTR1]

wtf? thats bullshit. i saw the video and it didnt look like he was cheating , its not his fault the games spawning system is glitched

[Maddens Raiders]

this is simply...retarded. What a terrible game.

[aryan_irani]

how about treyarch fixes the damn game so you cant get that many kills(spawn kills on the 501-8 kill/death video). its funny that instead of fixing the broken game, they ban player who play it?

[SixZeroFour]

they ban boosters, and thats what that guy did...he played with friends that would stand still, shoot to reveal their posistion, etc. to help the other team get the kills...they have been banning boosters for quite some time now, so it isnt something new

HOWEVER, with that being said, i do still think that the 501 kills vid was a combination of boosters and a flawed spawn system...they fixed one problem, now they have to fix the other

[DeadlyFire]

Note to Activision. Spawn Trapping. How to fix. Dynamic spawn points. Do it.

OMG 2 spawn points right next to each other? What novice developer did that?

[CrazyJ]

Seems like the easiest fix for this would just be to make the user invincible for a few seconds after spawning. This would make spawn camping a way to get yourself killed.

[likedamaster]

Treyarch epic fail.

[xxxAnubisxxx]

In this case, yes. And Black Ops for PS3, yes.

[HolyOrangeCows]

Wasn't positive that people on the other team were helping until 2:32

LOL, he wasted all of that time just to lose everything in the end.

[BrokenGamez]

i agree these guys are obvious wrong and asshole for doing this but i believe part of the blame is on treyarch for such a simple spawn system

[Shackdaddy836]

I thought the guy made it to tell treyarch that their spawning sucks(hence him posting it on youtube and saying that he hopes treyarch fixes this). Him getting banned just means that they aren't going to attempt to fix the horrible spawn system right?

[PRHB HYBRiiD]

so they banned him cause he was spawn camping/killing????its treyarch fault that the spawns are so bad not his :l

[syanara]

banning them isnt going to fix the issue, they need to look at the problem and find a way to prevent that from happening.

[RBLAZE1988]

The video of that is a fake. Someone on youtube exposed it. He went to theater mode and showed that the guys on the team getting raped were just running and shooting so that the other team know where they are and getting killed and repeating. So pretty much it was just an elaborate boosting scheme with both teams in on it.

[Vherostar]

This is why COD sucks people are just TOO serious with them and care about score.. When did games stop becoming fun and start becoming a competition?

[ChronoJoe]

To be fair. Like 3 of the people there were probably just along for the ride, and got banned for nothing. 129-7 isn't a big deal, and what do you expect these guys to do whilst the two at the top are doing the real, spawn trapping. Leave the match? pft.

None of them should have been banned though. Just saying that the lower end guys shouldn't have, even under Treyarch's fucked up principles.

I better stop spawntrapping teams on TF2 and KZ3, maybe Valve or GG are gonna' ban me? :o if they didn't want it to happen they shouldn't have build there game so it should. They're playing perfectly, within the games rules breaching no ToS of the games or the platforms, if it was a full PSN/XBLA ban - and it'd was me, I'd see them in court. (although It'd probably be settled before that, I'm sure).

[lil Titan]

glad i didn't buy this game lol definitely wont buy the next COD now as if i was BF3 BABY

[fullymoated]

Yes because every black ops match looks exactly like that video. Oh, and thanks for getting your BF3 advertisement in there, just to drive home the point that you have no idea about the game that you are commenting on

[lil Titan]

@fullymoated reading your reply you sound kinda mad...where you one of the guys being killed as soon as you spawn lol oh and i was a dedicated COD player until blops so i think i know about the 40mm kills, spawn camping, the little kids cursing like a sailor, the kill streaks that make it impossible to win a game, the perks, the no team work in this game, everyone thinks there Rambo, just plain camping...you mean that game yeah dont mind my free advertisement of BF3 (didnt see it like that) its obvious you havent played the game ive just discovered and found it to be WAAY better than COD but youll learn in time. back to BFBC 2 for me

[antz1104]

@ lil

Dude you sound more mad than he does....bitter even. Frustrated? Probably. This video is an EXTREME representation of a match. I do play alot of CoD and I never see someone getting more kills than mid-high 30's.

Theres nothing wrong with perks, they spec a character out to how you want to play. Nothing wrong with that and some of them you really have to earn the pro version.

Killstreaks don't end a match, just come prepared: attack chooper? use a strela launcher. Attack dogs? shoot/claymore.

Oh and I forgot kids dont swear in BF, sure :/......CoD has a mute button man.

Go troll somewhere else.

[fullymoated]

@ lil
Ha ha, sorry, from your initial post it sounded like you based your whole opinion on a single video, and then decided to blurt out your favourite game, LOL

[lil Titan]

@ant are you specail in the head or something? frustrated no that was along time ago when i accepted COD is like this and is never going to change.

being a troll? i guess thats what everyone calls a person when they point out the truth about a game smh

tell me all the stuff i listed does not consist of a COD game...or are you mad everything i wrote was the truth oh and lil kids do curse on BF too its just that i dont hear as many as i would if i went on a COD game, be honest. and to be honest on my part on BF its really a rare i do hear kids

COD takes no skill to play where as BF takes time to understand, theres a learning curve and someone getting 500 kills...im not saying thats every COD match you must be simple minded if you thought that was what i meant, then i would happly be called a troll for that but no. and killstreaks do change the course of the game does it not...stop me anytime i am making one untrue statement please! but you cant since you know its all true, i used to be a COD player so you cant tell me everything i wrote isnt true i have no reason to lie about a game that shows you everything that i wrote.

and the the perks oh there is a problem with that system not even going to touch that one

@moated you shouldnt have replied, ant had something worth replying back to. You just reminded me of a lil brother saying "YEAH" after the big brother is trying to take up for him and i did blurt out my favorite game at the end you are right about that BFBC 2...but thats going to change when the new one comes out, peace

[antz1104]

@ Lil,

No, being a troll is when you spew out your negative OPINION and act as though its a fact. Thanks, your making a fantastic point of that. Then you drop some BF3 bomb, because, lets face it, this article has anything to do with that...:/

The stuff you listed exists in varied forms in ALL FPS's, to single out BLOPS does make you look bitter. Plus, I gave you solutions for all the moans you threw out and you jump into skill level. Its a FPS, all of which have a learning curve, and they're all the same: point, shoot, take cover, throw grenade, duck. The only difference online is mostly how many bullets a player can absorb before dying. CoD is a lot mor realistic in this point than say Halo or Team Fortress. To say it requires no skill is just a stupid response.

As is "and the the perks oh there is a problem with that system not even going to touch that one"...... Real debate material right there. People earn pro perks, some can earn certain ones easily while some can earn others easier. Thats what makes it interesting, and it adds to customization in terms of where you're fighting and how you like to play.

You still sound like "well i don't have this game but I see its broken from other people playing it and I want to have others listen to me." Yeah, that sounds like some form of frustration. Trust me, I'm not the one here thats coming across as simple.

I'm with you fullymoated, props for trying to make it a jk and then he attacks you.

[lil Titan]

@ant i see you basicly trying to defend a losing battle as if i didnt think you was going to bring up that "well other games are like that" bull

didnt come here to so called "troll" (even though everything i said was not negative cant say its negative when its the truth NOT an opinion which your opinion on my facts seems funny to me) all did was give BF3 a little shout out as i complete the end of my comment and i didnt think anyone would care to read or take seriously...guess i was wrong you took it to heart and its really sad as i dont care much for any of this what fps is better bull its stupid but BF3 is and will be better lol and i know thats going to eat you up inside and i say things like that to get you mad or say things like "oh this idiot" when really your taking a stupid little comment that didnt have no meaning to me and making it seem as if i punched your "buddy" over there in the face...clam down if it makes you happy blops is the best game ever The End what ever helps you sleep at night anyways only in time will you learn hahaha

[AliTheBrit420]

Why is it good?

Why are they punishing players for taking advantage of real problems the DEVELOPERS left in the game.

[AKA]

what?
i will not play a cod again for a good while or never again. i play cod4 fore few months and mw2 for few days and will avoid the rest.

but why to blame the player when the game is broke?
he did not glich, the guy was taking advantage of the poor quality gameplay of a broken franchise of a game...

[ZombieNinjaPanda]

LMAO, I love the fact, that due to their crappy spawn system, they ban the kid for taking advantage of it.

How is this a form of boosting?

[Volomon]

Well you know it wasn't possible with IW's games because they never were retarded enough to use TWO fucking spawn points right next to each other. Trearch had an issue with this shit from their first game and never addressed it. This is the result. IW's respawn system checked if their was an enemy near by before it spawned you. If their was it would move to another spawn point.

[Jio]

Treyarch is doing him a favor. Now he can quit Call of Duty

[RXL]

but it's his Duty..to please that Booty

[Quagmire]

oh lawd...

[likedamaster]

lol

[LunaticBrandon]

Don't fix your game just ban people instead. Got to love lazy developers.

[xxxAnubisxxx]

Wow... seriously? Nothing in this world is ever perfect, why expect it from your games?

Only fat, single dudes who haven't hit puberty yet have time to exploit video games to make them feel their balls are bigger.

Ban'em all.

[Quagmire]

That image burns my soul.

[-Alpha]

But to be fair to the issue, that "spawn lock" was only capable on that map when you had all the players on your team positioned in the right spot.

TA should fix it, but since it's already happened it's good that they took action against the boosters.

That sort of boosting was a clear exploit, but regardless of what you think of COD's quality you can't expect developers to catch every exploit, especially one like this that must have taken time to figure out.

[Ducky]

It was an objective-based game-mode though.
When one team stops trying, they're going to get spawn-trapped in that mode since the spawn-location is mostly static (or at least... I don't think the spawn locations moves around)

[GoldPS3]

How can you fix boosters?

[Majors]

BAN THEM !!

[BX81]

The same way you fix a dog!

[Harknesss]

"Wow... seriously? Nothing in this world is ever perfect, why expect it from your games?"

Guess the main issue with all subsequent COD games after 4 is that the online segment of COD 4 was nearly perfect. Something no other COD game has been able to match.

[DarkTower805]

"Guess the main issue with all subsequent COD games after 4 is that the online segment of COD 4 was nearly perfect. Something no other COD game has been able to match. "

REALLY?!? We must have played different versions of the game then. The one I played was a 3x Brett Favre fragfest, had glitchers that would hide in walls and rocks, suffered from poor connections of the host and had NO host migration.

The ONLY thing COD4 had was great maps that were EXTREMELY well balanced. I think COD4 still has the best collection of maps of any game.

COD4 is still my favorite installment, but please don't EVER say the online portion was nearly perfect, because that couldn't be further from the truth.

[xxxAnubisxxx]

Couldn't agree more

[RonXD]

Haha Newb

[xstation79]

That dumbass got what he deserved

Edit at below: cod 4 is the best cod game, but I'm not sure what that has to do with this

[ps3alldayeveryday]

COD 4 is the best COD game...

[NotSoSilentBob]

Quality crap all CoDs Every CoD.

[rezzah]

Did you even play the first 2? Or are you referring to the cods released this gen?

[NotSoSilentBob]

I have played them all. And they all are Crap.

[Bloodraid]

You obviously don't learn then, do you? Idiot...

[NotSoSilentBob]

Bloodraid

Not really as I never paid for them. My friends are the sheep I just borrow the games to take up time.

[xVeZx]

so because these guys found a flaw in treyarchs god awful piece of shit of a game they have to get banned for it? thats bullshit....people here are saying that he got what he deserved....lol wtf he didnt do anything...did you idiots even watch the video? he didnt make this to brag he made this to show treyarch the problem and instead of fixing the problem they ban the players lol fukking bunch of retards

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

It was a temporary ban. Just until they fixed the issue. They also reset his rank.

[xVeZx]

it being a temporary ban is not the point....its the fact that they got banned in general and got their ranks reset for no reason (which is pretty dam harsh for not doing anything wrong) because the game is broken...and btw they arent going to fix shit....

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

"pretty dam harsh for not doing anything wrong"

they were boosting

"and btw they arent going to fix shit...."

You're prolly right about that one.

[BX81]

Agreed! Ban the boosters. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Only idiots exercise the right to not use common sense. I think there is a guide line of unwritten rules when it comes to most gamers and ruining the game by using exploits is a no go!

[Sharingan_no_Kakashi]

O_______o

[Xander756]

The fact this can even happen proves Black Ops is a very broken game...

[RatherHavaBigGirl]

nope it proves that the cod community is pathetic. campers and exploiters

[nightmarex121]

Lmao that sucks, i was kind of impress though getting 500 kills.

[InTheZoneAC]

just proof the biggest idiots play this game. How does the other team not quit from that BS? What are they trying to prove by staying and dying 500+ times in ONE game?

[Shadowolf]

This is a question I still can't seem to figure out.

[Majors]

Erm Maybe sub accounts and doing it on purpose as they are probably from the same clan ?
At least a few of them are just to give the position of the opposite team
Just a guess

[damnyouretall]

yall say these developers should find these flaws before the game is released. you know how many people have to play the game before they figure this shit out. how many hours and how many kills and how many people in a call of duty game? its fkn crazy. but yeah they should fix it when they find these jokers,,fk it ban them too

[doctorspakles]

Forgive my ignorance.

What did he do wrong? Not like he hid in a rock on Fuel. He dominated a map. Trearch's fault. Not his. So what, is there some cap on K/D ratio now? Or is it that the other team was in on the boosting?

Anyway. Happy to play MW2 when I get the itch. Wish I still had MW.

[A LIVING LEGEND]

pretty sure the 'top' players had this one figured months ago,some hapless fool branded by an iron they dodged is....ironic.
did wrong ?,nothing really,but we should try to maintain integrity or pretend otherwise.

[CrimsonEngage]

This is why i play Battlefield.

[shadow2797]

I don't know about the other games, but it's super easy to get spawn raped by a helicopter in BFBC2.

Not stand in one place or shoot one spot and rack up kills easy, but it's still pretty ridiculous.

[The_Claw]

the thing is in BC2, if your getting spawnraped its likely due to the fact that you and your team suck, not because of a exploit.

[swishersweets20031]

I've seen that a few times in BC2.. i was on a team and im not a super player or anything but just about everyone on the team stole all there vehicals, and had all our vehicals going, and we playing conquest and we pushed the other team to there main area and everyone was just blowing there stuff up and destroying them the second they spawned.. the claw made a good point you got to be really terrible to have that happen to get pushed back that far to not being able to excape.Its not so bad its not like it happened on every map just 1 in particular.

[Majors]

I agree with the chopper..
They are WAY to powerfull and infinite rockets is just stupid, If they also have a good pilot its may as well be game over.
And heat seeking rockets dont work either..

[xVeZx]

@the_claw: so this wasnt because the other team sucked right? idiot

[CrimsonEngage]

You noobs. I'm talking about real Battlefield games. Not that POS BC spin-off.

Of course BC has Helicopter spawn rape. The maps are tiny compared to BF2 maps.

[artdafoo]

Hey Activision, instead of punishing people why don't you put more time and effort into making a better game instead of the turd that is Wack Ops.

[Roscoe3zz]

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Some of the other team was in on it, it was set-up.
Thats why they were banned for boosting, BECAUSE THEY WERE BOOSTING.

[perdie]

Its amazing tat you can get 250+ deaths and still keep a 2.48 KD. he is obviously boosting also to keep his stats up. Where is the fun in boosting. There is no point in boosting in Black ops since its not like you unlock cool camos for x amount of head shots or get a cool emblem.

In MW2 boosting was understandable for some challenges but consistently boosting just for stats? Just stupid. there is no fun in it if you cant even keep those stats up so high without boosting.

[JmanHunsman]

Lol does this mean I have to make a conscious decision to not go near their spawn from now on?

[Relientk77]

Over 500 kills

So illegal lol

[younglj01]

LMAO

501-8
310-7
197-8
176-7
126-10
120-7

LMAO this is why COD sells so much on 360.I know ppl going to say its on tha PS3 also.But b honest have any1 seen boosting on that scale on tha PS3?

[Paralex]

Yes, you do see boosting on that scale on PS3. Boosting is big on 360, PS3, and PC. Don't try to make this into a console thing. People will boost no matter what console they're on. People want to have good stats to make them look good.

[younglj01]

See thats my point I wasnt trying to make it into a console thing.I'm talking about tha players not tha console.Its not tha console setting up booster room its tha players.

Have u seen any video where a PS3 owner boost on tha scale those 6 players did.If so please let me know say I can talk sh1t about them also.

My biggest complaint is not what console ppl own but how this gen skills are no more and its all about haking,glitching,and boosting.

[James Vanderbeek]

you never saw boosting on cod4. Well i never did. No reason too.

I use to see people boosting all the time in modern warfare 2 on the ps3. Ive seen a couple idiots sitting in a coroner with the respawn perk killing eachother. but people in modern warfare 2 use to have all out boosting matches. pretty lame and cheap way to get xp. black ops isnt that bad. i think thats why so many people hate it. haha

[spunnups]

This is a Cover Up, Acti is just mad that their pathetic game is being exposed.

[swishersweets20031]

i dont care if people boost all the power to them. Im too busy playing. Only dorks care.

[JonahFalcon]

Spawn campers should die horrible deaths.

[Shadowolf]

Banning players from your own game when you've allowed them to exploit loopholes is a contradiction in itself. In all fairness it's not like they've gliched the game, these players are just exercising their right to have fun based on the undersight of Treyarch and Activision to fix this problem.

This move to ban these players is hypocritical on a major scale. Don't ban the players, fix your game.

[Majors]

Ban the players who abuse the system.
If they cheat, hack, glitch or boost Ban their asses.
Simples

[DelbertGrady]

They should ban the game instead for allowing it to happen.

[mrmancs]

dirty fook*ng cheaTS , take note.. cant stand em, ban em all.

[mrmancs]

dirty f*ok*ng cheaTS , take note.. cant stand em, ban em all.

[pcz]

all those players did is exploit the flaw of the game. that is the game makers fault, not the players!

if there was a move in chess where you could defeat your opponent in 5 moves and they absolutely have no way of defending themselves, would that be cheating? no! it would be a flaw in the game. you could make a mutual agreement not to use the move but the game would be flawed!

this black ops game is obviously flawed, and if the developers dont like the way its being played then they should change/revise the rules to make it more balanced... not ban the players for exploiting the games flaws!

its fucked up and a total injustice. i guess the developers are totally embarrassed and so instead of fixing their product, just ban players who showed how shit their product really is.

[hatchimatchi]

I agree, what the players did was cheap but it didn't look like they glitched or anything. They just exploited a dumb design decision.

[dead_eye]

Fucking hell. Did anyone rage quit on the losing team. I don't think they did. who is gonna stay in a game where this is happening every single player in that game knew what was going on and what they had to do. Could never happen in a normal game

[hatchimatchi]

Maybe if they didn't release these garbage games on an annual basis they would have time to actually put some thought into what they are developing. COD is garbage, I can't wait to see it get run into the ground so gaming as a whole can more forward.

[dan_chan89]

nice work

[Bull5hifT]

Thats Soooo Gay i had well over 32,000 kills, weakling

[HeroPsychoDreamer]

What did you expect from such a horrid game? The COD series have become like a mass-produced cheap Korean car.
No attention to detail or quality. Only the number of copies sold are important.

Activision are laughing all the way to the bank. They can't believe that such a low quality game is breaking all the records.

I only wonder how much Activision are paying all the various game sites to do their advertising for them. Hyping a low quality game like black ops.

This is like The Emperor's New Clothes. The muppets buying the game don't wanna see how bad it really is. Everybody's singing to the same tune - the tune of Activision.

[Killzoned]

This is not even a cheat, what are you guys even on about? It just shows how bad of a game Black ops is if you know the spawning point inside out.

Black ops Sucks period

[josephayal]

Cheap game

[BlueEye]

This is a surprise, I had heard of this and read something about it, I assumed this was some huge ass spawn trapping, boosting was it? Shame on them!

[Dorwrath]

They got whats coming to them.

Yeah they should fix it, but just because its an exploit doesn't mean you should take advantage of it.

Besides whats so entertaining about spawn camping. Personally I'd rather finish the game and move on to the next one which might be more of a challenge.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

Bad game design is a developer's fault, not a player's fault; this was not a glitch in the game but a choice made by the creators to have two spawn points on the whole entire map.

It was not ethically right to ban them for poor design on the programmer's fault.

It is like if a retail store wrongly under priced their products and sold them at the wrong price and went back to arrest the people who clearly bought the products through them from a mistake on their part.

[Dorwrath]

Sure it's a bad design. However in this day and age we blame everything else than ourselves. Whatever happened to sportsmanship, playing the game as it was intended to be played?

Spawn camping the entire oposition for 15-20 minutes in an objective game to boost stats isn't the way the game was intended to be played and certainly isn't a sporting way to play the game.

Sure blame the developers, but you still have a responsibility to yourself to act in a sensible manner.

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

At: Dorwrath

That is actually incorrect about the boosting statement, that's the whole point of prestige, hell that's the meaning of it as well. On top of that, if the player is able to do the things they can in the parameters of the game, then it is not illegal.

For example, part of being good sniper you have to camp/be patient, many people do not like that, but it is not cheating because the other players have the ability to do the exact same thing.

So acting in a sensible manner* is defined by the rules of the game.

[dead_eye]

HAHA well done your almost forgiven for the first couple of months of the game lol.

And to all the people who say its a broken game that game was full of people who knew what was going on that could never happen in a game even if you had the best clan in the world .

[Time_Is_On_My_Side]

I understand why people would be angry, but this is bad game design and players exploiting a bad game design should not be banned.

It is like staying in one corner in a boss battle where the A.I. can not comprehend the player's actions while the player kills the boss with ease.

The player should not be banned, but the game should be updated, if there was some kind of glitch that was being exploited than that would be a different story. Bad game design is not a player's doing, it's a developer's doing, if that makes any sense, lol.

[juanvan]

This is Due to a broken game - other then spawn camping he was doing nothing wrong. Banning him from the game was prob the best decision, but fixing the problem is the right thing to do.

And not that 100000 12yr olds seen this it will just happen more.

If the car did not go 100 you would still have your license..

[MARKUS_MAX1MUS]

thats just pathetic

Learning a spawn point so you can sit there and farm kills off noobs to make yourself look good on the leaderboards?

Thats why I stopped with COD at no 4

[danielle007]

Well... this introduced me to the hilarity that is booster busters, at least.

Who cares if someone boosts or cheats just leave that match and play another match. They are ruining the game for themselves but they don't have to ruin your time. It is just a game so who cares if they have better stats than you they still had to cheat to accomplish those stats so they're still the losers.

What a Joke Black Ops is...

[RyuCloudStrife]

How about we all just ban Black Ops off our living rooms?

[Thoreau]

and people still want to play blackops after this???? it is not his fault that he dominated. hate the game not the player..

[LoneWanderer09]

And people say Black Ops is the best FPS out there Hahaha give me a break

[2fk]

forget about COD there's way better FPS out there

[BuckyBarnes]

Im forever done with the call of duty franchise. Glitching/boosting whatever you want to call it, is terrible. The minute I see any sort of huge glitch, such as people FLYING in mw2 going 94-2 or this 500 kill game, I have traded in my copy. Why? Because its obvious the online stats mean nothing if these stats factor in, even for a little while.
Oh, and seeing people rack up 1 million pts first day Killzone 3 launched is BS too, companies need to filter the stats, because I dont have 24 hrs a day to game, but believe I have the necessary skills to reach top 200 in the world.

[SuperbVillain]

I like treyarch but,black ops wasn't as good as it should have been,i wish it was :/

[WetN00dle69]

Activision sometimes fck up in their moderating, a friend of mine had his account temp banned and reset just for going 39 and 9 in a match of demolition. What they need to do is ban lag switchers and modders and not the people who get their kills the legit way.

[JLesinski]

Good to see they're actually doing something about this. It's like treyarch is taking a page from LostInPlace's boosterbusters. Man I love that youtube series. Give cheaters what they deserve!

[mightyboot]

Im pretty sure this happens on PSN and Treyarch doesnt give a **** about it.

[Bounkass]

LOL, boosting ftw!

[tomarik]

lol ya these kids deserved to be banned. Also this just reinforces why Halo is a much superior FPS. COD kids are just a bunched of fail kids and cheaters.

[boss_killa]

ahh just one of the many dozens of reasons i'll never buy another COD game ever again.

dont get why so many people still play this POS series.

[sich92]

ban cod altogether that would be awesome

[orange-skittle]

BATTLEFIELD 3 BITCHES!!!!

[RyuCloudStrife]

this is not a form of boosting, this is your BROKEN game...

[Con-Fu]

Glad I skipped Black Ops for Killzone 3.

[Areeb11]

Oh hai there Treyarch,
How about you fix the spawn systems?
Sincerely,
Realist.

[sprayNpray]

I've found another booster! It's this game developer who's using a much better/more talented developer's engine in order to increase their wealth with no regard to consumers!

Their name... TREYARCH!

yep.

[maddfoxx]

How can Triarc ban players for exploiting a weakness in their developing skills?

[luyolo]

It would seem most of the people who posted against the banning of the people are retarded. They got banned because of boosting NOT spawn trapping. Had you taken the time you would have seen the video link that was posted here which proved these guys boosted.

[MecaPrime]

link does not work!?

[Donnywho]

This is a weird issue. I really hope that the player(s) was banned because of the cooperation between enemy teams, which as everyone knows is boosting.
All I play is ground war, big teams, game mode goes between Team death match and domination. Spawn trapping is, in a way the whole point of domination. You cap A you cap B and you hold your shit down or turn your attention towards the spawners at C right? I don't want to be dense here but, I'm not gonna go stare at a corner so everyone can safely spawn and get to my base. I just think more attention should be given to the fact that these guys staged this than to the spawn trapping. Because when you can spit across a map... all you can do is try to trap

[Pikajew]

lol playing black ops

[ton77]

this whole site is full of whiners... play the game and relax.

[davidadrake]

Who cares? Is something wrong with boosting?

They are doing a double XP weekend, so they are boosting players themselves.

If people are able to spawn camp, it is a flaw in the game and needs to be addressed by the developers.

Where are the rules about how to play a game? It is like people complaining about chainsaws in GoW. It's part of the game, and if you don't like it, play something else.

Bans for modifying a game are definitely appropriate.

[Sidology]

>Fix broken game
>Never have this happen

versus

>Ship broken game
>Everyone takes advantage of its brokenness

[Fallouts]

LOL wonder if he saw that coming...

treyarc should be banned from making another cod too.

[yarbie1000]

Get a PC and you won't have problems with boosters

[ZILLA]

why kids are still playing this noobfest.im soooooooooo glad im a BATTLEFIELD gamer.CoD is a joke!

[That_Genius]

Seriously some people have wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much time on their hands. Someone really took the time out of their day to learn every spawn point and all this extra crap just to get 500 kills in a game...

Honestly Treyarch should be given medals for saving someones life from becoming to obsessed with video games...
