In multi-
player games, having other people assist you in getting leaderboard position or achievements (
xbox 360 specific) by having other people
help you in ways that
go counter to the game's design. Most often done with one team throwing the game to another.
Example: In Battlefield:Modern Combat, one Achievement acquired by hitting 5 enemies and 0 friendlies in one mortar strike. This is doable but, during normal play, exceptionally hard. Boosting would be getting 5 people you know to join the other team and all stand in one place so you could drop a mortar strike and get the achievement.
