Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare-utvecklaren Sledgehammer Games kommer från och med nu att börja banna spelare som försöker boosta sig genom att ta självmord. Det kallas för reverse boosting och brukar gå ut på att en spelare släpper en granat framför tårna och spränger sig i bitar under matcherna.
Resultatet blir att de sedan får enklare matchning och då kan moppa golvet med motståndet och klättra ilsnabbt i rankingen. I ett inlägg på den officiella bloggen skriver Michael Condrey från Sledgehammer:
"Playing at home, I've been randomly matched with players doing this and it's incredibly frustrating to lose based largely on my team being down a contributing teammate. We've also had a lot of players bring up their same concern about playing in matches with these players. No one wants to lose an objective based match by effectively being outnumbered while their teammate shoots grenades into their own forehead 100 times in the corner.
It's not right, and it hurts you and your team's online experience... and we have increased our focus on reverse boost banning to combat the growing issue. No one is trying to restrict the fun factor of playing Advanced Warfare with this policy, nor are we actively banning against particular styles of play, like trick shots. However, we have a low tolerance approach to people who ruin the experience for others through cheating, boosting, reverse boosting or being caught with toxic emblems in game."
