I’m sure everyone hated going into a free-for-all game or any game mode to find two noobs hiding and boosting online. When the Tactical insertion was revealed to make a comeback in Black Ops I’m sure most of the players that dislike the tactical insertion automatically changed their views of the game.

Well not to worry, Treyarch’s Design Director, David “Vahn” Vonderhaar, told the community from a post on their forum that the team has plans to combat the exploitation of the insertion, both for pre and post launch.

Hello,

We love Tac Insert. It does a few things for the game strategy. A well organized team of Tac Insert user can roll the competition in Demo. It's grand, really, and how it should be. Counter by organizing your own team of Tac Insert users and roll with Hacker.

It also solves a problem. A lot of you are super convinced you can make a better spawn system than we can. That's cool. So, here you go. Here is Tac Insert. Pick your own spawn point and stop yelling at me.

Trying to use Tac Insert but are getting Tac Insert spawned camped? Well, you probably deserve that but you can now cancel your own Tac Insert in the Killcam. That's new to Black Ops.

The main reason I am not as worried about Tac Insert as you? We can disable it. And, I just did for Free-For-All (hardcore and core) variants. It will still work in Private Matches in Free for All, but then you don't get XP in Private Matches so it can't be used for boosting.

The game has a reporting system. Report boosters and let's make examples of them. Once you lay the ban hammer on enough bad people word will get around that we don't take too kindly to this sort of thing.

Firstly, I think they should remove the Tac Insert from all non-objective games modes, so that includes TDM. There's no objective for you to defend or push for in TDM, so the only purpose that Tac Insert serves in that game mode is to assist in spawn trapping. I don't think they need to make spawn trapping any easier than it already is. The ability to cancel the Tac Insert in the killcam is a nifty feature, though.

Secondly, I don't think they should permanently ban people for boosting or glitching. If it's possible to do something unsporting without a hardware or software hack/mod, then it's the developers fault. A temporary ban to avert repeat offenders would suffice.

FFA boosters annoy everyone if they call in air support and end up winning or calling in a nuke. Your FFA boosting attempts will be tediously protracted since they have removed tactical insertions from that game mode.

Reporting system sounds gay. It will be abused and people will get banned for no reason.
