Incidentally there's another thread where the mention (at my hands) of Griefing came up. It is a form of harassment, and Microsoft won't stand for it. Report him through XBL also. You can, if he ever shows up and does it again, call up Microsoft XBL Support and do it that way, they actually take it rather seriously (as they should) and will deal with the player directly rather than having a publisher/developer (Activison/Infinity Ward) go through their steps and ultimately report him themselves as a harassing player.
It isn't as frequent as past CoD titles have had, and though Hardcore modes are filled with them (more so on the IW CoD games due to Ricochet, making it basically impossible to do anything about it except suffer), it does happen on Core, abet to a lesser extent since it's not as simple to shoot through him and you in the same volley.
Other online games offer a No Tolerance toward this behavior and will, in certain cases, outright pema-ban the player causing the problems. Some will give them a warning first, but many simply remove them entirely and end further issues before they have the chance to continue.
It is for that I
wish there specifically was a Griefing option on the report feature in game. Boosting is a form of both exploiting
and griefing, but
TECHNICALLY that would be an abuse of the report system... Sometimes it feels like the developers while not supporting this form of in-game harassment, take little to no steps to prevent it. I know originally Ricochet in HC was intended to stop it, but honestly over the past two games from IW it's only proven to
help, however indirectly, these chump-stains... at least with a Treyarch CoD we have the option (on Hardcore only of course) to flat out murder them and stabilize enough to save our own skins when the Angel of Death comes barreling around the corner blasting 50 rounds of an LMG at us lol they're a tough bunch to weed out in either case...
It was A-hole night, I agree... if it wasn't griefing and tubes
en'mass, it was people with LMG's, thermal scopes, dead silence, and amplify sitting in corners everywhere... the most unsportsmanlike players come out of the woodwork during Clan Wars I've noticed.. and even some of the otherwise sportsmanlike players turn into very unwholesome players. I'm not knocking a bit of camping, I don't mind, but when every player on an enemy team, in a clan no less, is doing exactly what I outlined above.. sometimes
with tubes attached to said LMG's, it really makes you want to punch someone in the face until they stop twitching... lol
