Rainbow Six Vegas Boosting… sigh

25
Looks like Rainbow Six Vegas is going to be in need of a patch and soon since people are cheating their way to Elite status at an epic rate. Boosting is always unfortunatley a part of online gaming, but players have figured it out very quickly in Rainbow Six Vegas 2 and are playing like 1 minute matches to gain 400 experience points.

Yeah boosting is very annoying. At least it's not to the point that it was in Halo 2, where it literally made me stop playing the game.

Lol, I think this is so funny. Who cares if they "boost" their way to higher ranking? If you don't want to boost yourself, don't do it. Don't complain because someone else does not feel like spending forever unlocking stuff. They bought the game, they play the game, they get to decide if they want to make it to higher unlockables quicker. It does not make them any better at the game. It is their choice.

It is JUST a game people...

Halo 3 is starting to develop some glithcing as well. At least the Rainbow boosting just affects those peole trying to cheat the system to make their level go up quick and not those others playing negatively.

made me laugh when i played last night an this guy who had elite was rubbish, actually the worst player in the room.

I couldnt care less though if people want to be sad bastards let them, won't effect me. People do it on every game. Even on COD4, i have a mate who will only play headquarters coz you get the most points and all he wants is to rank up to prestige10.

I play games to have fun so im not gonna sit for days on end boosting.

At least it doesnt affect anyone, unlike cheaters on PC games that can ruin a whole match.

Yeah I would never play a PC game. The cheating on a console is nothing compared to what PC gamers have to go through.

3.2 - WoW!
Awesomely stated, perfect, well done!

This is the reason why I stayed at 55 (5-stars)...there is no point to prestige and it ruins the fun of the game. Sure you can say, it's fun to start from the beginning again, but then you spend the rest of your (18 some odd days) of gameplay, leveling up again and crying when you get beat by 3 lonely 5 star guys in team-tactical.

Also, even if they are boosting, Elite is not that high up on the ranks, Hell I only have about 2 - 3 days gameplay on this game and i'm 3/4 up the rank list.

Another thing would be -> Elite get's you nothing. Ooooo wow, new camo!!! Omg i get to wear this new kind of armor that is no better than the last pair i was wearing. Go ahead and boost, you'll be the laughing stock since all you can kill is something standing still on a glitch over and over again ;)

4 - This is almost in favour of an argument that ALL consoles should NOT have a HD by default..
The lazy approach by most developers is really start to annoy, with developers knowing that a hard-drive is needed, a patch can be applied for anything missed.

5 - I don't give two sh1ts about
my rank or the person's rank that I'm playing. If someone wants to have a cool number or symbol by their name and cheat to get it, fine. I'll still shoot you in the face when I play you. lol

I'll never understand why people cheat, quit, act tough online, etc. I'd rather work for my skills and ranks. I'm not worried about impressing my peers. I do it only to challenge myself. There's always somebody better, so the only thing you really can do is give it your best shot. You're the only person worth doing it for. Nobody else cares. It's sad to think that we'll always have these morons that are so unhappy with themselves, they can't get along well with others and have to ruin it for everyone else because they just don't care. You can cheat your way to greatness, but deep down, you know you're still a loser.

I think you are 100% correct and this is the quote of the day:

It doesn't really bother me because it doesn't affect what I do. If they are so desperate to reach the rank of elite without earning it that's fine with me because I enjoy making fun of them when I see them finish with 4 kills and 10 deaths.

i dont care whether they do it or not, like has been said, they dont get any better because of it, you can give these fake elites the best guns and they still get owned, so ill let them think they are somebody and ill just enjoy the game for the game it is.

I am just overall dissapointed with this game.

i always host my matches. and i've just been kicking them from my rooms. thats what they get in my book. most of them don't have mic's either. i guess thats because they know they are going to get abused by everybody in the room. thats what i do anyways. talk sh1t to them and then start the game and as soon as it starts i boot them. just a little game i like to play.

And what about slowdowns ? This is more important than boosting I think.
Patch is needed quickly

Boosting is annoying but slowdowns/standbys and those glitches are even worse.

The good hting is that you get these "Elite" players that then go into a game and get like 2 kills and 20 deaths, real "Elite" if you ask me, hehehe

Personally I don't think rank is a huge deal, but it does piss me off that people are always trying to find ways to exploit video games.

17 - Why I dislike boosting.
I hate boosting because it takes me 20 minutes to find an actual match of people playing since everyone is always boosting. I either get automatically kicked from the room because these boosters don't have the foresight to make a private room, or I get kicked because I kill someone because nobody told me anyone was boosting, or some guy runs into a game we are actually playing says hay who wants to boost and ruins half the room.
