3. Common Boosting Locations
Now that you have identified the boosters, it's your job to find their hiding spots. If you used spectator mode to locate them, your job is easy, but if you don't notice until they start racking up the kills it can be rather difficult to find them in time.
Each map has a number of common locations that boosters typically like to frequent. Click each map for a larger view:
*What isn't shown on this map are the scaffolding on either side of the level, the crane, as well as the rooftop, all areas that can be used for boosting. If a pair of guys manage to both get to the roof you are going to have a hell of a time getting them down, but making your way to the top of the crane can give you a clear view of them.
4. Killing the Boosters
Now that you found them, it's time to kill them. Take note of which one of the boosters is doing the killing because he is the one you need to kill. If they have a chopper gunner or AC130 out you can be sure that he will be hiding somewhere, but won't be able to defend himself. You can be sure that his partner will be standing guard.
The guy you are after will just be standing there waiting for his partner to spawn, so he is the easier target and you can just run in and knife or shoot him. But you want multi-kills timing becomes more important. What I like to do is wait a second or 2 after the re-spawn to give them just enough time to put out a new tactical insertion, but not enough time to be killed again. If you time it right and launch a grenade you can get the double kill plus destroy the TI.
If the TI is not destroyed you have 2 options. If you are trying to unlock Sitrep pro, this would be a good opportunity to tally up more equipment destruction. Or you can just wait for the re-spawn and kill him again. Either method accomplishes the same thing. Waiting for the re-spawn and knifing them is probably more fun and tends to piss them off more and is my preferred method especially after unlocking Sitrep Pro.
Sometimes the boosters are actually a little bit intelligent and will not stand close enough together to kill them both with a single grenade. You will find them standing in opposite corners of a room and shooting instead of knifing each other. Knowing their exact location is key and Sitrep can really help if you don't have a clean site-line. A couple of well placed grenades from a safe distance usually takes care of them.
The 2nd level of the house in Underpass is a common place that I have seen this strategy used. One guy will sit in the corner directly behind the stairs, the other will be diagonally across. A grenade through the window from ground level can usually get one of them, then run upstairs and quickly shoot the other. You could also access this room from the "shelf". The gas station on Rundown is another spot where the boosters will most likely be separated by some distance.
Once you manage to kill them both, they often return to the same spot, but there is a good chance that they will either leave the game or move to another location. Keep hunting them down. A smart pair of boosters will swap roles and start all over again if you screwed up their big killstreak.
5. Final Tips
Always be aware of the score. There is nothing I hate more than being in a match with boosters and not noticing until it's too late.Now that you have identified the boosters, it's your job to find their hiding spots.

5. Final Tips
Give the boosters a little bit of time before killing them. This is especially true if you know their location from watching in spectator mode and get there early. There is no use in killing them before they have at least 6-7 kill under their belts. With a 30 kill score limit, it will make it impossible to get a 25 streak.
Use your mic. If you can't get to a booster in time or keep getting killed on your way to them, call them out. Someone else may be much closer and be willing to lend a helping hand in order to stop the boosters. Nobody likes to be nuked.
Find a booster hunting partner and pair up. Get into a party chat with a friend and go hunting together. It's always good to have a partner and one less person on the map trying to kill you.
The boosters will most likely give up after you kill them a few rounds in a row. If you really want to be a pain in the ass, follow them! Go to your recent friends list and wait for them to get into another match that you can join.
