Subject: Betrayal booting is broken.

Has anybody else noticed how ridiculously dysfunctional betrayal booting is? What do you think the chances are of anything being done about it?

Some examples:

-A team mate goes to assassinate an enemy I have stuck. The grenade explodes, and I am booted for betrayal.
-A team mate EMP's my vehicle, and gets splattered while it's out of control from the EMP. I am booted for betrayal.
-An enemy sticks my vehicle, which splatters a team mate when it is destroyed in the explosion. I am booted for betrayal.
-A team mate boards a vehicle I have just stuck, and is killed in the explosion. I am booted for betrayal.

On the flip side:

-A team mate throws stickies at my tank until it explodes. No boot option is given.
-A player spawn-kills his team mates with stickies and a shot gun for the duration of the game. No boot option is given.
-A team mate sticks a vehicle I have just hopped into. No boot option is given.
-A team mate shoots down my falcon with their scorpion. No boot option is given, despite the triple-betrayal.

Sound familiar? Surely if a team mate betrays you when no enemies are present, the system should be able to determine it was not accidental and offer a boot option. Similarly, if the same explosion that betrayed a team mate also killed an enemy, it should be a simple matter to realize that this was clearly accidental, and withhold the boot option.

global warming isn't proven and won't be - it's more of a political play for funding for "research"

Been messed up since day 1

Now this I agree with, but some people say you should be more careful.

At first I just thought I was being careless. But it turns out that the system is broken, are people are -blam!-heads.

New discovery: you can get temporarily banned from matchmaking for "quitting" if you get booted too many times in a day. -blam!- my life.

Halo: Reach is the beginning of a new age for gaming.
It proves that developers can get away with punishing their players instead of fixing their game....and yet the fanboys will still sing praises to them.

-blam!- all of you fanboys!

Where were you like... 2-3 weeks before release when I was starting my crusade against the quit ban?

Who'd have known, back then even, that Bungie would design the betrayal booting system to synergize so well with the quit ban.

Who'd have figured that so few people in the community saw the insult that it was/is.

And Finally a little over a year later another one gets the wake-up.
