Bring Back Friendly Fire

Games Other Halo
1

Something about Halo 3 and Halo Reach always stuck with me, and that’s the ability to kill your teammates. A lot of games don’t have that anymore. Now, Bungie and 343’s simpler ways to settle this, was to simply boot the poor -Yoink- that betrayed you, and admittedly, the lack of friendly fire does remove the quintessential goal of killing your teammates for guns.

But I pose this question?

What about those of us that killed our teammates because they were too stupid to get the hell out of the way? Now, conversely, 343 has removed this problem, and THIS is a problem only for one reason:

If you killed your teammate for getting in your line of site, it taught them NOT to get in your line of sight anymore. What about when a teammate in Infinity slayer kills you with a vehicle, because you have a weapon they want? Its small things like this, that needs to be decided upon. If we had friendly fire, the games would be much more fast paced than they are. Admittedly, you’d get scumbags who have nothing better to do but troll their teammates, and indeed, boot them from the game. -Yoink- 'em, don’t forgive them. But in many of the games I played, I only ever killed my teammates if they jumped into the shot as I was pulling the trigger, so to speak, and got themselves killed. I feel that if someone wants to be foolish and run head first into a fire fight between red and blue enemies, they should be rewarded for that foolishness.

But that’s just an opinion.

FF is still in with full effect in most playlist. Infinity gametypes don’t count as Halo, so I dont think it matters.

Sounds like you want to grief to me or just teamkill. I already have morons butthurt trying to kill me because I got to a vehicle first or im doing much better than them. Morons on ghost going into infantry areas killing teammates on purpose on thin catwalks/thin bridges I guess you could say, get out of the way? there isnt any damn place to go on something like that.

I have no issue with someone doing better than me. That’s fine. The idea of the game is to work together. I don’t care if you have a vehicle (I hardly use the damn things). As I said in my post, my issue was primarily the lack of Friendly Fire. But, someone has responded and told me that the majority of playlists DO have friendly fire. I was not aware though that Infinity Slayer technically wasn’t the same as the rest of the multi-player to be honest.

If I was looking for a reason to -Yoink-, you’d hear me complaining about lack of weapon spawns. I’ve noticed that your teammates can kill you with a vehicle, and if they do it on spite, there’s no way to retaliate. That’s really my only gripe about it. I truthfully enjoy this game far more than I did Reach, and otherwise have no issues that would stop me from playing the game. Even the lack of FF isn’t stopping me.
