Does anyone actually play ADAM Grab correctly?

[Hero of Lylat]

Is anyone else tired of these scourges on humanity known as boosters? They've completely taken over ADAM Grab, and any time that I try to join a match and play the game right, I get slapped with negative rep from four or five people and I'm bombarded with "f you" messages. I'm just wondering if there's anyone who actually plays ADAM Grab for the game and not to just boost. I'm also wondering if 2K could be so kind as to, I don't know...DO SOMETHING? I can provide names of boosters I've caught in the act, if it helps. I ran into about four of them last night while playing with my friend, and we both got negative rep and nasty messages. They're seriously ruining my love for this game.

I'm talking about Xbox, by the way.

Poor xbox and its rep system that is easily exploited by noobs. Nasty messages on the other hand are always welcome in my book let em rage, it won't stop me. Boosting in a game that you can max rank in a week of scarce gameplay is pathetic. Not to mention the fact that once you get to 50 what then? Now you would be a rank 50 noob who gets stomped on by other 50's. Its so very pointless. Plus if they think being max rank means players will consider them skilled they are sadly mistaken. I've played plenty of rank 20 or lower players who showed more skill then a lot of high ranked players I've fought. All that matters is how well you play, not your numerical rank. Heck you get adam for simply being in a match, you don't even have to win or do a single thing XD so ranking up is as simple as joining a match, period. Max rank means nothing, just like how the leaderboards mean nothing as well.

Boosters will always receive a nice grenade + incinerate gift from me Toast'n noobs everyday...

What I love most is those Boosting Noobs who actually venture into other modes of play. Every seen a rebirth 50 get killed 23 times in a sotf match by real noobs. I have. I love boosters, let them do it all day long. Just remember when you venture into my neck of the woods. Expect to lose your head. I may not be the greatest bio player. But I will kill you. If I'm anger or just frustrated with game play in other modes I hit up Adam Grab for some tension release. I have been in maybe 3 legit matches in my 340 hours.

The funniest thing to happen to me was. I got a message "let us boost". I responded "sure. you hack, I kill ". "OK" was the response. I was laughing at this. After a few matches I had the whole group raging at me. They even brought in a "mother goose" to keep me away/dead. That didn't work out to well. Oddly I think most boxspammer are ex-boosters? I have no proof, but every booster I meet in Adam Grab can do it.

True, it's rare to find a real AG match, but when you do OMG is it fun!

I think you're just running into established identity crisis players boosting their shiny new accounts. There's at least a few of them that create account after account... and they all BS.

I am actually hero of lylat's friend that he was playing bioshock 2 multiplayer with the other night, and ever time we would come across the other players in ther match they would all be around a single turret taking turns hacking it.
and of coarse we when i asked them why they couldn't just play they game correctly they all submited negative reviews at the end of the match and sent me messages saying "f you." worse yett i can rarly am able to find a match of adam grab where this happens.
It would be awsome if 2k could put out a patch for bioshock 2 multiplayer that could pervent people from useing the turrets to boost their level, such as only allowing a person to hack a single turret so many time within a set period of time.

[ragingpuma]

seems the boosters have moved to turf war too I got the same crap today in tw it is like all boosters are ☺☺☺☺ing clones.

Atleast ps3 don't have a rating system so worst you can get is hatemail or them going for you but since they are boosters they would suck anyways since they don't play the game properly. They couldnt hope to match those of us who have played a long time and actually lvl'd up the legit way >=|

[xenonmicon]

The legit matches are insanely fun. It's just that you have to get a group of friends together to play it. A random legit match is extremely rare to find. I mean you could boost any play mode with the right amount of people. Imagine 10 boosters in cts or survival. One person(sotf) could rack up a huge kill count and amazing k/d. With CTS their sister captures would be insane.

[Ndolger]

Nothing quite puts your skills to the test like this mode. I don't think I've had any higher form of personal satisfaction in this game than I have playing ADAM GRAB with challenging opponents. I'm talking about the REAL MODE, although the booster killing aspect is also fun!

It is extremely hard to actually "fend off" 5 people (this requires *dropping* the little sister, not just running away), hack the environment (*I* do anyway), and hold her for 3 minutes. It is extremely fun! It is the only mode in my opinion that really demands different loadouts. One of them *has* to have most, if not all, of the following: aero dash, eve saver, leg up, fast feet, (I would argue speedy hacker as well).

Now the booster games are amusing as well. You normally have a sentinel who "body-guards" the other people in the game, this person is above-average to pretty good (and not there to boost), 2 other people are normally just hacking (they're normally way below average in skill), and then you have one guy who is either completely new or just terrible.

The first match, you'll get this message: "we're boosting, don't kill us". The second match is normally silence or "wtf are you doing? stop it". They don't normally stick around for the third.

I will never understand boosting, sorry. There are two reasons I would envision someone wanting to do this:
a) They don't care about the game and just want the trophy. I really don't understand this. What in the hell is the point of getting a trophy if you know you didn't earn it? Oh, I forgot this generation is lazy and shallow. It makes sense now. I thought the point of games was to enjoy yourself? If you're not enjoying yourself...umm, just don't play the game?

b) They just want to unlock everything as fast as they can so they can be "high rank". Terrible mistake. If you actually want to play competitively, as others mentioned, you're going to handicap yourself big time. No substitute for real in game experience. This is also the equivalent of starting in the "pros". Work your way up the ranks and get some confidence and tactic experience. Otherwise, you're going to annoy your teammates thinking you are "good", when you are half-baked in terms of actual skill. You can have FPS experience, but if you don't know the maps and the weapon strategies, you're only going to go so far.

If anyone ever wants to play a REAL Adam Grab match, send me an invite. Or if you need a 2nd to "weed out the parasites", let me know too.

[mister vwp]

I actully do play AG as it should be played
havent seen boosters in a really long time aldo I do sometimes see real worthles lv 50 rebirth players wich sucks like hell wich is anoying specially in CTS when they take the sister the wrong way >.< Im like are U ☺☺☺☺ing kidding me?

when I find boosters Il leave them alone as long as they leave me alone, if theydont leave me alone Il kill them if there are only boosters il destroy turrets so they have to play.

I think theres nothing more awesome then defeating a teaming booster team
aldo when they are actually good players that team I wil use glitches I mean if you team Il cheat xD

Thanks for bringing this up, though I doubt anything can be done about it. When I first started bioshock I was fully confused when I would go into adam grab(didn't know about boosting). People would send me messages telling me to stop killing them, etc. And the rep system is a bit frustrating too and not worth much. Someone put I was trash talking when I hadn't even talked to anyone back then... I have to admit negative mail always makes me a bit upset.

Hopefully you can find some non-booster matches!

[Siren]

With my friends its a definite yes but i always make sure i win >…>

Its always a challenge and rage-inducing with friends; they provide challenges(lol), something others dont. @.@

[brutalXbarbie]

i play real AG matches. (i also helped a friend boost a new account before i get any nasty responses)
and god forbid anyone try to touch the sister with R3D in the match.

*ahem* Or what? I will no stun HS him 3 times in a row...What is he going to do? haha

[TxBuckeye]

Why? Not sarcasm, serious question. I'd be interested to read a valid excuse for boosting.

[abyssmalcarnag3]

I'd like to see you do that again I have been away from the bio scene for quite sometime so I'm sure you can take me. Oh n BTW im a booster anyone care to play a match with me I'd be more than happy to XD

[abyssmalcarnag3]

Boosting= Trophy hunting believe it or not some people just want the platinum and you can't get it without the multiplayer one's. I'm pretty sure that's why some if not most do it. Hell more than half the booster's Ive ever played with I never really even see again.

[xenonmicon]

The only thing I ever boosted to get was that stupid 10 turret kills trial. Me and a ex-friend need to both get it out of the way. So I used repairman, speedy hacker, and deadly machine. Used the nade launcher to weaken people and my turrets did the work. Took me 1 sotf match to get done. Took him 3. That's the only thing I boosted to get. I did finally get the burst their bubble trial done today. I hate the nailgun.

[brutalXbarbie]

my friends and I make many alt accounts, and she wished to level this one up quick so while r3d pookie and i were killing each other she held the sister.

[RuthlessKaos]

I try to,but only to get killed by boosters.That or people trying to cheat to get the mp dlc achievements...

[PhlyPinoy]

I can empathize with the trophy collectors, being one myself. It's quite frustrating to input the amount of time into a multiplayer you probably wouldn't replay. Multiplayer trophies especially frustrate me, knowing I would probably never touch them, anyways, but they definitely are the only obstacle left for the platinum. It's a hobby, like one does to collect bottle caps, cards, games, etc. One doesn't necessarily have to enjoy the game but the fact of collecting is sheer satisfaction of an accomplishment enough. With that said, I'd actually would boost other multiplayers that take too much effort for the amount I'd be willing to invest in them. I actually enjoy Bioshock, so I don't require the need to boost. But, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, I will most likely boost. I just don't find it as enjoyable.

Never knew that, not being a trophy guy myself. Had I known, probably wouldn't have messed with them half as much as I did. Never did understand the whole trophy thing, but I guess it matters to lots of folks. So it makes sense.

Oh yeah I mean I'm sort of a trophy hunter myself but only for the games I truly enjoy. After playing singularity I saw that the only way I was going to get that platinum was by actually playing the mp which was nearly dead when I got onto the scene. So it would make sense that other people would do the same for bio.

[BlaneTheMono]

Craziest Adam Grab game ever last night actually with Juggalo, mikehawk360, Roy1609996 and then awakened_being27 along with guesswho9 showed up a little into the match (If I forgot you I'm sorry). I love my friends, but sometimes if they want to team it's difficult to find a match, so I threw us into a match of Adam Grab that turned out to be a major challenge and a lot of fun. Sometimes I wish they'd play more matches against me rather than with me. If anyone actually enjoys modes other than CW and CTS, feel free to invite me if you're having difficulty trying to find players to make up and entire match or who will actually play legit

I can say I've never seen two of those players playing legit, Ever.

Although, I'll be sure to invite if I see you or something. I'll make sure it isn't 3 vs 6 or anything. Normally just me and Fish lately.

I dunno who the two are, lol. I'm glad I can say in this one everyone was against everyone the way it should be ^.^ I enjoy team Adam Grab as well, and I'm still to this day kicking myself for rebirthing once the turf war lobby had been empty for months (now I'm left with a couple trials to fill in that game mode >.<)

I never seem to run into you or fish anymore and even if I know the chances are against me, I still enjoy playing with you guys :P

SnarSnar, I'll message and explain. I can safely say they hate me because I'm better then them at a video game. (LOL)

Pfffft! I'll have to get Fish out of Fallout and go looking for you. I'll make sure to keep doucheness on the *low.
