I don't know if there putting this on Halo 3. Hasn't anyone just got there kill stolen (While the enemy is really low on sheild?) by one of your teamates. Well... pretty much everyone has, but for some reason they get all the credit for it. Do you get some credit? NO! they get the kill then at the end of the game you win but the guy who stole your kill has the most kills by 1, that means they get a bonus to level up, right? So tell me do you think thats fair?

Freedom of Speech does not equal "Freedom from Consequences when one speaks".

It is a right, and all rights have responsibilities associated with them. Ignore the responsibility, and you tend to lose the right.

Sometimes this is due to latency in your connection. You'll find the balance of these kill totals under your "Assists", although that doesn't help your score.

"Stolen kills" happens to everyone -- even to you, I'd imagine -- once in a while, so it all balances out. More than once I've accidentally stuck one of my teammates with a sticky going in to melee an opponent, when another opponent will step up, and I'll get a double kill when I should have gotten a betrayal. So, not only did I steal a kill or two, but also avoided a penalty. If my connection were better I'd avoid problems like this, but it's a team game, so I'm only concerned with the final score.

If you're trying to level up, then make a team of four with your friends (maybe you're already doing this), and it will eventually all iron out to your advantage.

Take it from this guy people, he knows what he's talking about.

Second accounts are NOT cheating:

You dont get assists if you die before your teammate kills that person or if you didnt cause the most damage to that person if everyone was shooting him.

Braaaaaaains!

If you look at it as a team game, it doesn't matter. It all goes toward the same score. I am a support player so I'm used to my kills being finished, in team games. It's just a part of team play.

No not fair at all!!! The worst part though is that not only do you not get cred for the kill but 9 out of 10 times you don't even get credit for an assist even if you are the only one that took down the shields of the opponent. Now tell me how fair that is? What merits an assist in Halo2 anyway? It seems like at the end of the game bungie just assigns everyone a random assist score or something!! Why bother with the assists anyway if they mean nothing?

Wow, people that complain about stolen kills in team games fail. Its a TEAM GAME. The kill still goes toward your team. Stop -blam!-ing, its annoying.

The object is for your team to get 50 kills, not for you to outscore the other players on your team.

Who cares?? Like he said...theres no bonus points for being on top of your team...if you go 1 and 30 and your team wins you get the same credit as the guy on your team that went 30 and 1. The assist system is nowhere near being perfect but as long as your team is getting kills when they are supposed to then it doesn't matter.

I've had games so bad with the latency, that I end up with two or three kills to my credit but ten or more Assists -- which are usually between four and eight per game. Sometimes I KNOW those kills were mine, but the host assigned them differently. Frustrating, especially when you have to listen to -blam!- afterwards. Very few people seem to understand how connection quality affects individual games.
