I myself do believe that it's cheating, but that's just my opinion.

My favorite group.

Yes, but some may argue that credits and ranks take too long to legitimately acquire (not saying that I boost). Nevertheless, I do believe it is cheating.

Better luck next time buddy.

I don't consider anything orginally implement in the game to be cheating.

  • 05.03.2012 7:34 AM PDT

boosting, meaning hacking? or just trying to get the same one over and over?

if it is the 2nd one, then no it ain't cheating.

No, but there is a special place in Halo hell reserved for those folk.

It's the only commendation that's good ;D

boosting is cheating. commendation boosting is just cheating with commendation slapped on it

Mythic Mode Progress on Reach:
Winter Contingency, perfection.
Other levels in progress.

As long as they aren't boosting in online matchmaking, IDGASF how they rank up.

Only if it hinders the online experience of other players. Say, for example, that you go into Team Slayer with a party of 6-7 and decide to boost. By doing so, you are ruining the experience of the 1-2 randoms in the match. By attempting to purposefully ruin the other team's chances, then you are cheating.

"Boosting" Firefight / Campaign commendations, however, doesn't really exist. As long as you don't mod them, then it's all legit.

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

I'm a commendation/achievement/statistics freak.

Campaign boosting was declared entirely legitimate by Bungie. I encourage it.
You can't boost firefight.
Boosting online multiplayer is just sad. Yes I consider it cheating, although I've run a few assassination only Rumble Pit games.

Two makes there more than speakers.

Offline/Campaign: No
Online/Multiplayer: There's no system tampering but it's unsporting and exploitable.
