Halo Reach's matchmaking games are under attack from the small amount of individuals that purposely kill their own teammates and go out of their way to ruin the game for the rest.

Recently I have had the misfortune of coming across a particular player and his friend (who for now shall not be named), that like to do just this. I have been "privileged" to play with these two players on the map Hemorrhage 3 times now. Each of which these two fell it necessary to not just kill their team, but first get into the wraith or spectra and destroy all the other vehicle's.
My team of course lost that match. Not that we were guaranteed to win in the first place but it would have been nice to have an even playing field.

Then of course there are the high ranked players that feel that they are better than the others on their team, and as a result will kill them for a weapon they want, a vehicle and in one occasion a particular spot to stand.

These people need to wake up and see what they are doing to our beloved game. For to long have I been a victim of greed, ignorance and kids who think its fun to kill their team.

Please post and give us a scenario where players have annoyed you or potentially ruined a match.

Are you sure you're not baiting these ppl in some way?

  • 11.10.2011 12:41 AM PDT

Baiting in what sense. If its as in setting them up to be banned for life then no I am not. I just feel there should be something to encourage them to stop (similar to the 10 minutes for leaving to many games).

  • 11.10.2011 10:16 PM PDT

It seems that you're mad.

Understandable.

I would be mad too if I couldn't understand half of the words the other person was saying.

lol penaltie XD. I am not sure if I understand the question. You are saying that players that get booted should get more penalties? Or are you saying that players should get a harsher penalty than being booted for team killing?

  • 11.10.2011 10:57 PM PDT

Rather not. At least 95% of my betrayals are accidental and about 25% of those has led to a boot. Always someone evades infront of your wraith or runs onto a guy who I had stuck or fall infront of me while using explosives.

Then this system could be implemented if it noticed well which weapons someone used to betray and keep in mind who betrays a lot in short time line etc.

But only harsher penalties wouldn't work, the betrayal system needed tweaking to implement harsher penalties...

you take my wraith a just yell at you. i have yet to face someone who was better with it. i wont damage it tho because i still want to win. but then all curse at you the entire time you use, all the way up to when you die, because your playing -blam!- y. and i hardly ever get betrayed, because if some ass clown on my team starts shooting at me i kill that mother -blam!- er in a heartbeat. idgaf if i get booted for it

  • 11.11.2011 12:56 AM PDT

They should remove the penalty and people like you need to get over it. Higher ranks ARE usually better with power weps/vehicles, so just let them take it. Most of my team kills are accident, the others are because they do deserve it, and the 10 minute ban is so pointless. It doesn't change the way I play whatsoever.

He should get a penalty for murdering English.

Yes, but only if its done repetitively. Like a 10 min ban for being booted 2-3 times, with 3 or more betrayals needed.

We Surround Them!

About the only time I see these kinds of rash betrayals is in Grifball, Living Dead or in Firefight. Sure I see the occasional "you took my weapon" betrayal. Even saw one the other night on Hemorrhage in BTB from some moron who didn't like my use of Active Camo to sneak into enemy bases or protect our own base during an Assault game. Little jetpacking noob casued me to die when I was on a Killing Spree and within one of a Killing Frenzy (during the DC to earn one in an MM match) by standing behind me as I was trying to back up and avoid a Needle Rifle to the face with shields down. I did nothing, complained to my party members, but then after that incident the little douche kept hounding me all game long - including when I was in our base stopping the bomb planters via assassination or shotgun blasts to the face as well as trying to use the PP to EMP their vehicles so myself or others could destroy them quickly.

But yes, I'd love to see a more harsh penalty for repeated betrayal. But most of all I'd love to see the Friendly Fire reinstated during FF matches so I could more easily just end the days of AFK campers getting a Perfectionist at my expense as well as those morons who stand behind me with FRC, Blueberries or other heavy weapon nailing me in the back as I am trying to snipe on Beachhead. Yes, it would end my bid for a Perfectionist, but sooner or later there'd be that chance to boot and I'd certainly take it!

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

No. For Christ's sake stop punishing people for playing the game, even if they are being -blam!-s. This is just a game. If griefers are pissing you off that much, it's time to put down the controller and do something else. It's crap like this that makes Reach suck. This is an especially awful idea given the horrible booting system.

Do everyone a favor, get some intelligence, grow a set, bust a nut, and shut the fu­ck up.

OP has failed grammar's legacy on so many levels today.

I disagree 100%
I love the game, probably one of my favorite. And there is nothing I enjoy more than kicking back after a long day of work and having some fun on BTB or team slayer.
I personally feel that these people are ruining the game for not just me but the rest on my team by either starting us off with a -3 score or no vehicles to stop the onslaught on Hemorrhage.
I dont know about you but im not really a fan of spawning in front of a wraith with no way to fight back, or watching half my team leave the game because players on our own team are aiding the other.
The booting system works, I think they should just add a penalty to go along with it. (penalty- cant join another game for 10min, for those who cant think of one).

  • 11.13.2011 10:45 PM PDT

I dont understand your logic. People that are of a higher rank should have a right to get the power weapons leaving the lower ranks, people who are new to the game, to be meat shields for people that dedicate their life's to it?
Last time i checked I was pretty reasonable with a shotgun, i see no need to give it to an over egoistic reclaimer.
I fully understand that most player kills are accidents and I wont boot a player if I know it was an accident such as a grenade rebounding or a stray wraith shot. Its the people that make it their mission to kill their team that im against.
