"Reverse boosting" can get you banned in Advance Warfare
Reverse Boosting is where players intentionally commit suicide over and over again in a match to drop their skill level, securing weaker opposition in the next match so they can dominate. This enables the player to improve his/her ranking quicker than they would by playing fair.
“On a separate topic, we’ve also heard questions about our banning policy, particularly as we’ve seen players using “reverse boosting” with excessive suicides in online matches driving a lot of frustration within the community,” Condrey wrote in a blog post. “Playing at home, I’ve been randomly matched with players doing this and it’s incredibly frustrating to lose based largely on my team being down a contributing teammate. We’ve also had a lot of players bring up their same concern about playing in matches with these players.
“No one wants to lose an objective based match by effectively being outnumbered while their teammate shoots grenades into their own forehead 100 times in the corner. It’s not right, and it hurts you and your team’s online experience. Call of Duty is both social and competitive, and we respect and honor that. Part of the competition that is core to our values is that players do not adversely degrade their team’s ability to compete fairly. It’s not dissimilar from the bans that cheaters and boosters receive, and we have increased our focus on reverse boost banning to combat the growing issue.
“No one is trying to restrict the fun factor of playing Advanced Warfare with this policy, nor are we actively banning against particular styles of play, like trick shots. However, we have a low tolerance approach to people who ruin the experience for others through cheating, boosting, reverse boosting or being caught with toxic emblems in game. We don’t like seeing any of these happen, and we’re pushing to eliminate these behaviors from the game.”
So if you're using this method you should probably stop now, because Sledgehammer is watching.

Zesri What if you're just really bad and never get any kill, only deaths?
You'll get banned for that?
If your bad and only getting deaths you don't finish a game with 200+ deaths.
Quite stupid if they banned people for getting 30 deaths no kills.

Shows how bad you can be for even doing this. I don't understand why people just can't play the game properly.

And people wonder why I don't play any newer game than MW2, I hate dev ban policies, I much preferred the MS approach that happened with MW2.
TL,DR Generation translation: Boosting? Meh. but I don't like the thought of being banned for it though.

"reverse boosting" sounds like a person who plays COD who is just a really really sad person, Low life if you have to get killed numerous amounts of times just to play weaker opponents.

Its good to see them doing something about people boosting I just don't understand why people would constantly kill them self as I'm sure that would lower your kd.
