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!

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.
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.
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.
