Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

yes, unless we're playing against amazing people, and only in MLG

If you get splattered even once by a teammate, you should boot him even if it WAS an "accident". If he's so out of it that he isn't paying attention to where his teammates are, then he shouldn't be in the game.

I boot just about everyone that betrays me because they 99% deserved it. Only the occasional glitch or unanticipatable action will be forgiven, and those usually don't have the option to boot anyway.


I love how you think that everyone in this game needs to be perfect. Accidents happen, learn to live with them and stop being a butthurt bad kid because you lost that positive K/D. You're giving yourself a bad repuation.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

Depends on whether or not it was an accident. If it was on purpose, I'll obviously boot them. If it was an accident, it depends on how well they're doing. If it's the guy going -5 I'll definitely boot him.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

It's not about being "perfect", it's about paying attention to where your goddamn teammates are to reduce the chances of betrayals.

If I am in a room fighting two people, run in there to help me. DO NOT THROW ALL YOUR NADES IN THERE AND KILL EVERYTHING! I cannot begin to count the number of times this has happened to me in Invasion.

If I am in a CQ fight with an enemy, DON'T SHOOT US BOTH WITH THE ROCKETS/TANK! Just use your other weapon to assist me or try to aim away from me.

If you are driving in a Warthog, and I am on foot and focused on killing someone, DON'T DRIVE THROUGH BOTH OF US!

These things that happen far too often are really simple things that can be avoided purely by common sense. It doesn't take a master strategist to know not to blow up your teammates.

If it was done on purpose.

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!

Maybe...

If you weren't so hell bent on sprinting in to melee, that wouldn't happen to you.

Most betrayals that fit your criteria are errors on your part, and you are denying your team the chance to use their most effective weapons.

If you are surrounded by 2 or more enemies.... you deserve to get killed by a rocket from your own team. You will die anyway.. may as well use the situation to get a 1 up on them.

In other words, you get in the way. And if you can't accept that you are at fault for being betrayed.. you shouldn't be playing.


Or how about this.. This is a scenario that happened to me once.
Team mate runs by me. He knows I have a rocket. 2 people come running through a door into the room. What does he do? Sprints up to start trying to melee them. Before he even had a chance I had already loosed the rocket in their direction. He got there just in time to be included in the mayhem. IMMEDIATELY BOOTED!

I imagine you are also that -blam!- stupid, to boot someone even though you were fully aware of the situation that was about to unfold.

And you'd be even stupider to expect anyone not to shoot that rocket every time that particular situation presented itself.
Same goes for most those situation where you're getting killed by grenade spam from your own team.

If it is intentional, yes.

I once got the option to boot every member of my team.
It was a game of TS, and I had the Sword. Some guy killed me and took it off of me, so I booted him, but for some reason, another boot option appeared, and I unknowingly pressed A and somehow kicked 2 members of my team, and then a 3rd option appeared, where I denied it.

Those guys happened to be the two leaders at that point, we still won anyway.

If I am given the opportunity and it was on purpose then of course I will boot that player. Especially if I don't like that player.

  • 07.17.2012 9:53 PM PDT

I will add this, I will betray teammates when I see them camping/hiding. If they're not even trying to play the game and they are just going after the credits for completing a game, I will betray them.

Depends why they betrayed me, if they betray for power weapons then I'll boot.

Depends what for and how many times.

  • 07.19.2012 7:00 PM PDT

If they aren't my friend I boot. Usually the player that betrays me was not helping the team anyways.

  • 07.19.2012 7:23 PM PDT

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

i will boot someone if they betray me for a weapon or vehicle.

nearly everything else is a forgive.

No, ExcessiveFaun6 is not my real gamertag.

The only times I get betrayed are usually someone killing for the sniper, then, I boot them. If it was an accident, I forgive but if they are killing me for a power weapon, then I boot. One guy actually tried pushing me of the base when I was waiting for the sniper on hemorrhage today, and when I got the snipe he killed me and so I booted him.


...why were you waiting for the sniper in the first place? Do you have nothing better to do? Or do you just not pay attention to when it spawns?

All he said was "waiting for the sniper". That could easily include knowing it's going to spawn in 8 seconds, so you make your way up to the top of the base and then have 3 seconds more to wait. He didn't say "I waited the entire game for the sniper and it finally spawned and omg he killed me like aljlajflkasjdlfjlasdfksfj". That would merit your sarcastic remark.

depends on circumstance really.

  • 07.24.2012 11:07 AM PDT

"She is starting to damage my calm."

I try not to, although sometimes I get mad and do it to the little -blam!-s that kill me to steal a weapon.

On the other hand, I get booted fairly often because I am so bad I frequently betray accidentally. But hey it's just a stoopid game so who cares really?
