The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

OK, here's another thing: I like flying around New Alexandria just killin Banshees. Is that boosting?
If you're doing it for hours at a time, yeah it's boosting. But it involves a bit more game play than reverting to last save .. lol
I'm obviously looking at this from an ethical stance.
You mentioned earlier a better analogy for Oni farming would be a person at work doing the same thing over and over again, but at least doing something. That sounds similar to the Barry Bonds defenders who claimed, though he juiced, he still had to connect with the ball to send the ball out of the yard.
Or we could all just say that the dude exploited the game to hit homers, like people exploit this game for credits. It's pretty simple.
Nooooooo, that analogy does not apply at all.
First of all, I'm not doing a whole lot more by just flying my Falcon around getting kills than what other people do by reloading the same checkpoint. And yes, I did do it for a few hours a couple times. But I'm not boosting.
And your analogy of taking roids to do better at a game does not at all match up to "boosting" credits by replaying one part of the campaign multiple times (I am ignoring the scope/size of the offense, btw). With roids, you're adding an outside influence to the game; it would be more akin to using an aim-bot or something like that. A closer analogy would be like using batting practice statistics in the overall stats for the season.
