I was playing online yesterday, and I saw a message on-screen that I'd never seen before. I was betrayed by a teammate in BTB (surprise, surprise). Normally, I give a guy the benefit of the doubt before booting him realizing that an errant rocket/grenade sometimes happens. However, this was purposeful, so as I watched myself die, I had made up my mind that he was out.

However, upon my death, the screen read "[Gamertag] has betrayed you. Too many ejections; cannot be ejected."

Now this first death I am sure was a betrayal. I sat there and watched him kill me. It was also the beginning of a game on a large map, so there's no way someone happened to just lob a grenade from the other side of the map and kill me. As the game progressed, I was the in the enemy base, got killed, and received the same message. This time, however, I'm about 90% sure that the enemy killed me (though the guy who did it earlier was within shooting distance).

Long story short, I considered two possible explanations for this message..
1) My teammate had been ejected so many times in previous games that he could no longer be ejected, or
2) The system had malfunctioned somehow, and instead of awarding the enemy with a kill, it subtracted one from our total by giving us a betrayal. Both result in a one kill differential

Option one simply doesn't make sense. Why would there be a limit to the number of times a person is ejected if he continues to make the game less fun for everyone? Option two kinda makes sense, but it doesn't explain the first death of mine.

My question is: What's the deal?

Thanks.

and my question is why didnt you use the search feature. it would have saved you a ton of time that you spent t yping a post regarding too many ejections which has been discussed at least 24 billion times.

This is the first time I have EVER heard of this. I think a system malfunction sounds much better than someone simply being ejected too many times to be ejected again. I hope one of the many knowledgable people on this website can clear this up, I am interested in whatever answer they might be able to give you.

You know, you're right. I just used the search feature, and using the word "ejections," I discovered that apparently it was I who had ejected too many people from previous games thereby preventing me from booting anyone else.

However, it's funny you mention saving "a ton of time," when you yourself could have saved time by simply answering my question. This would have made your post shorter and would have saved me the time of using the search feature.

Or maybe saving time wasn't really the reason you suggested using the search feature... :-)

Just as I thought another Noob that presses the Blue button whenever you get the chance. To think that you are worried that you cant boot even more people. :( Man Be Easy with the Booting, Friendly fire does happen. I understand if someone is talkin trash and kill you for the sniper, but I think you will boot every time you get an chance. His stats are below


Games: 432
Last Played: 7/31/2007 9:51:56 PM

* Total Kills: 3632
* Total Deaths: 4792
* Kill/Death Ratio: 0.7579
* Total Assists: 1341

How do you determine that he boots every chance he gets by those statistics? All they tells you is that he dies more than he kills, played last night, and has 1341 total assists. He said he gives them the benefit of the doubt why not show him the same courtesy?

Edit: Here are your stats:

Games: 3280
Last Played: 7/31/2007 9:33:41 PM
Total Kills: 23634
Total Deaths: 21555
Kill/Death Ratio: 1.0965
Total Assists: 8565

Clearly you only boot someone with good reason.

These bad kids drive me crazy with getting booted, especially when I didn't go after them...maybe one of my smg bullets hit them 5 minutes ago, and randomly I'm out. Sucks when I'm carrying the team and they still do it. SELF CONTROL, LITTLE DBAGS!

It took me about 30 seconds to type my post. judging by your original post, you spent a well thought out 5 or 10 minutes to type it.

And by suggesting you use the search feature, in the future perhaps you will know to use it.
