I'm sure many of you boost, while a lot of you completely hate boosting. Before starting I want to say that I am completely neutral, I don't hate it but I don't do it often. I obviously see why you would feel the need to either boost or get mad at boosters. I have to ask that this doesn't turn into a flame war.
The first part of this guide covers how to find boosters. This will probably be common sense for most of you, so you might not need to read the first part.
If you are going to read anything from this guide, read the "Fun Ways to Kill Boosters" section.
How to Find Boosters:
First off, you might want to have a booster-killing class if you are going to be doing this on a regular basis. It's not really necessary though. What you really need is a class with Cold Blooded pro and Ninja pro. Marathon is also a good idea, but not needed.
1. Are there boosters in your game?
Simple. Just watch the kill feed. If every other kill is with the knife, or the same two people over and over, they're obviously boosting. If there is one person dominating the round, and they have very few deaths, then you should really start checking the kill feed.
2. How do I find them?
Make sure you're using a class with Cold Blooded Pro and Ninja Pro. A Heartbeat sensor can also be a good idea, although most boosters will be using Ninja.
Know the common boosting spots. Look up "Booster Justice" on youtube (or find it here on NGU, it's been posted a few times before). The videos are about a guy just killing boosters all day (what a life) and shows some pretty common boosting spots.
Also listen for the tactical insertions. They're pretty easy to here. All you need to do is run around the map once while listening for that clicking sound, and you'll know where they are.
3. Now what?
The section below this say how to kill the boosters. Some things to keep in mind though: Be patient, usually try to come from the side so neither of them see you coming, and wait until the booster has at least 5 kills. That way, since he's probably trying to get a nuke, he won't be able to start over again, since he'd reach the 30 kill limit just as he reaches his 25 kill streak.
Fun Ways to Kill Boosters
Organized from least fun to most fun, in my opinion.
1. The Classic
Simply hunt down the boosters and take them out. Start with the booster after the person who's getting killed is respawing, and then kill him when he respawns.
2. The Explosives
Use C4, Semtex, or Launchers to take out both boosters at the same time.
3. The Javelin
Deserves it's own separate category, just because it's so funny. Find the boosters, and stay well out of their vision. Pull out a javelin, take aim, and fire.
4. The All Pro
If you have a sniper rifle, or even a high-caliber assault rifle with FMJ, you can crouch far behind the boosters, take careful aim, and with decent timing, get a double head shot. You get a pretty funny reaction from the boosters.
5. The Picklecow10
Ya I know, I got a huge ego
Well I've never seen anybody do this before, so sorry if you have and you believe that I read your mind and stole/posted your strategy.
This is my favorite part of MW2. Just doing this one move over and over to the boosters. The reactions from ones with mics are priceless.
Your timing has to be pretty good though, and sometimes the boosters figure it out fast.
Wait until the booster has killed the boostee, and then quickly run up, kill the booster, and take his place. Often enough the boostee won't even notice and will continue laying down his tactical insertions, until his buddy messages him and he figures it out.
One Tip: Watch the booster before hand. If he is knifing, use your knife too. If he's using his primary, use your secondary, so it looks like he just decided to use his other gun.
Only about 10% of the time to the boosters figure out what's going on.
20%- I get one kill and they figure it out.
50%- I get between 5-10 kills before they figure it out.
20% The clueless n00bs let me go the entire game and never figure it out.
Try the last strategy, it's so funny that you may cry.
