I hope these not being included are all just for the Tech Preview. Because grenade jumps NEED to be in halo. So does physically interacting with teammates. And Friendly Fire needs to be on otherwise everyone can grenade spam/etc with reckless abandon.
100% agree across the board

Um, I think everything teammate physics adds to the gameplay/sandbox VASTLY outweighs any negative opportunities for toxic behavior.

Yes it’s a very fun and interesting to have players follow you around team killing or draining your shields so you don’t get booted

I’m guessing you recently had a bad experience.

It’s not recent, every few matches you will find someone mad they didn’t get the power weapon so they betray them to pick it up and start the cycle of killing each other. Then you have people who get mad they aren’t doing well so they decide to TK to have some impact in the game, FF is toxic and I’m glad it’s not in the game

It has far more repercussions than that though. With friendly fire off you can be dueling close quarters with an enemy and their teammates can just grenade spam the area or fire a rocket at you both to kill you without any fear of killing their teammate. I hate that part of it because it removes a level of strategic play from the game. In the past you had to be careful with your shots when your teammate was in close proximity to an enemy, I personally much prefer that.
I wouldn’t mind it being turned off for casual but definitely think friendly fire should be on for ranked play. Ranked is meant to be a truer test of skill in the game, and I’d argue having to be smarter with your shots and grenade placement factors more into skill then just being able to throw them wherever without consequence.
Delete entirely the friendly fire would be too much, it’s an important part of the Halo gameplay. However, I think there are a lot of solution for the betray problem :
- Increase the reappearance time for each betrayal (5second, 10second, 15second …)
- Reduce the score to -1 for each betrayal
- Propose the exclusion option sooner
- Prevent a betrayer to pick up a weapon/flag from his teammate
- Reduce friendly fire for the vehicles to avoid crash
- Remove friendly fire for melee attack (a player can’t hit an ally by accident)
343i Take note.
Its a core feature in Halo games, and part of what makes the sandbox great
Real recognize real, OP. Agreed.
