What exactly is circle boosting. Ive been playing a long time and consider myslef pretty good but i dont think i actually know exactly what it is. Is it when you are a 28 and you play with a 2 and let the lower person be party leader so that you play with lower ranks? I get accused of this sometimes cause i have a few friends who only play occasionally so their levels are pretty low. They arent particularly spectacualr at the game either, so whats the big deal? If the level two on my team goes 5-16 and we lose, i just dont get why i have to hear, "thats what you get you boosting b****". Are people with higher levels not supposed to play with lower ones?

im not really sure, but it seems to me that if a 1 is party leader with upper 20's, theres a much greater chance of drawing 22s, 23s, etc. instead of the usual 28's, 29's and 30s. However, intentionally making the 1 the party leader for this is kinda weak, but if you just hop into their party and they start it up, you shouldnt have to endure verbal abuse because of it.

A lot of times there will be 3 semi-high ranked people and one low person so people always say that they are boosting him cuz he cant get a high rank by himself. Before they send out the update/patch to fix cheating almost everytime there was a really low rank and 3 higer ranks it was cuz a cheater (modder, standbyer etc) created a new acc which the didnt care to get banned just so they could boost the other three. Circle boosting (and this thread will probably be closed cuz of the subject) is basically picking and trading off who wins & looses the games so that eventually you rank up. Ive seen quite a few people with level 50 halo rings in everthing but rumble pit cuz of this. If you want for info just google it and you get all you need

circle boosting involves 8 people. they split into 2 teams four on each. the teams go into matchmaking and get paired up with each other using illegal ways and one team is designated the winning team. therefore the winnning team gets their level up high and then lets the losing team win, therefore the term "circle boosting." but yeah its a bannable offense, and takes a lot of time and money to buy the right stuff, and you need to know what your doing, all not worth it just to get a number next to your name. dont be dumb, dont do it even tho its not technically "hurting anyone else"
