Ok, im sooooooo sick of this: i keep getting booted for NOOOO reason. im doing great in a game and then all of a sudden it says: "youve been booted" If you look at my last two games (the only two played since the ranks have been reset) ive been booted both games. i betrayed NOBODY!! thats the catcher. can anybody help me out please? my team would have won both games if i would have been able to stay in them. i was going 16 and 2 deaths not even halfway through the game.

or you caused PARTIAL damage to your teammate either through a grenade or accidental melee. they die 30 seconds later they have a chance of getting the option.

that cant be the cause.
ive lagged so -blam!- bad during some games due to others becase i dont have much of a internet connection and when someone else is online on a computer watching videos off the net. i get red all the time. one time i went all game like that. and that was earlier today. i didnt get kicked.

its pretty clear to me, that 1 u hurt your teammate like someone allready pointed out or i think if u betray a guest or somthing like that in a custom or unranked match then in ur next game it gives people the option to boot u, but im not sure about the second 1

It is lag, pure and simple. My friend has that problem. He'll be across the map from me, not even shooting or grenade tossing, and I get killed by an enemy....Suddenly, the betrayal screen comes up giving me the option of booting him. Note, that when this happens, the famous "BETRAYAL" voice is not heard. I've been booted even though I've been nowhere near the booter at the time of his death. There are two possible causes, the first being the most likely. 1) Lag. Some data gets lost or misreported in the game and suddenly one player is told that they were betrayed. 2) Cheating. People have figured out a way to make the game report that you've betrayed people, so they can boot you. Now, if option 2 were true, it wouldn't happen all that often... But since lag is a constant, especially if you are having lag between your ISP and live, option 1 is far more likely.

ya, i understand that. but the thing that doesnt make any sense, is the fact that im playing just perfectly. my connection is green, and my gameplay is fluid. However, ill be doing REALLY well when i get booted. aka 16 kills and 2 deaths not even halfway through the game. any thoughts on that? maybe cheating or something???

Well, it could be cheating. You probably aren't the one that is lagging...It could be the one that ejects you. Or more likely, it is the host having difficulty.
