Right so, a few days ago, i was playing in big team battle and i got booted quite a few time (3 or 4 i think)

in a game i killed a splatered a teamate by acident and i got kicked right away, (first FF of the game)

In another one i didn't kill any of my teamates but i got booted (WTF?) i had done some damage (to like 2 guys only) to teamates (it's there faults they where going in front of me while i was shooting :p) i didn't depleted any of my friends shield tough,

i must say i had a guess and he like to ff sometimes, but we didn't realy make havok in any of those games.

Then in another game, after a while a got betrayed quite a few times, but it was saying: can not boot, too many player booted (or something like that, plz somebody enlight me on this, was it me that had been booted too many times, or was there too many people in the game booted, there was like only 2or 3 guys who quited-booted? anyway.)

oh and BTW we were (with my guest) the best off the game.

PLZ somebody could somebody tell me WHAT THE HELL I AM DOING WRONG OR IS GOING ON?? and what is that weird message i got!

Well, for some reason, betrayals can carry over to subsequent games, so the only really foolproof thing you can do is, before the game, or right as it starts, tell your teammates that you were booted from previous games even though you didn't betray, and tell them to be cautious and make sure they don't boot you for no reason.

As for the message, I have never heard of something like it.

Yeah, the pre-game speech doesn't help with those 8 year olds who drive around in the warthog as an elite while slamming on the horn, refusing to stop and pick up a gunner or a passenger, and then mercilessly run over your own teammates all while screaming in a high pitched voice

"You gonna get raped noob"
until they get smacked in the face with three rockets, then complain about standbying and modders.

I'm sorry, I got a little off topic... Crap, I forgot what I was saying.

The booting system definately needs a little work if you ask me. There have been times where I have been booted for no reason also. The best advice I can give you is to not hurt your teammates at all. I know this is hard when it seems like they wait for you to thorw a grenade, then jump out in front of you and get killed. There are some people that will not boot you if they know that it was an accident or their own fault for dying, but those people are few and far between. Everyone seems so ready to boot people that its like they don't care how they died, they just want revenge for that death anyway.

"The best part of waking up is not Folgers in your cup but knowing Chuck Norris didn't kill you in your sleep."

I agree that accidental deaths should be forgiven. However those yahoos that come into the game betraying or are careless need to go. The issue I have with the boot system is when you get the message that says something about too many ejections and you cannot boot the betrayer. What is that all about?

It's sticky 'nade time!

Not only that. But sometimes you will get betrayed on purpose because somebody desperately wants the weapon you're holding. And they betray you for like 4-5 times before you can boot them. And when you accidentally betray someone you get booted right off the bat.

I've very rarely been booted myself. Betraying hasn't been a big problem for me. There are times when I'll accidentally kill someone on my team but it's not very common. Though I have noticed that I can be betrayed like 10 times and not have the option to boot the jerk off.
