People are so dumb because they are still going to boost after they get reset.

Oink damn that's a harsh penalty for the second boosting offense "user will have split-screen privileges revokes."... wonder if that's temporary or permanent :o


I know I thought the same thing... I guess they might just have to play solo zombies until the ban is waved. lol, that's what I used to do on BLOPS 1 when my internet went out (because of storms in my area).

I call bollocks on this whole thing. I mean, honestly? Treyarch, you may talk the big talk now, but we all know just how well you follow through on it. Let's just take a look at the past million and one Call of Duty's, shall we? How policed was CoD: WaW? Or how about Black Ops? And, on a generalized spectrum, how about CoD 4? MW2? MW3? Last time I checked, mods and glitching were still very much alive. So, you've got a long way to go to impress me on all this.
