This has been frustrating. It seems like there’s a flaw with the momentum physics or something. I’ll give a couple of examples:
-
I’m rushing to board a ghost the has run into a wall. The ghost moves sideways, without boost, going pretty slow, scrapes me and I’m dead.
-
I’m driving a hog and going to pick up a teammate who is running towards me. I let off the gas and am rolling to a stop (barely moving at this point). Teammate bumps into the front of the hog and is splattered. I get hit with a betrayal (going 2 mph).
-
I’m running to jump into the gunner seat of a tank. I jump above the tank as it moves forward (it’s a tank so it’s not moving very fast). The tank clips my legs, I’m dead.
Before, everything I’ve listed would result in either a slight drop in shields, or at worst, a shield pop. Now it’s instant death. This is obviously my own experience but it’s pretty common in the games I play. Wanted to know if anyone else has had issues with this.
Unfortunately, I do this to teammates as much as enemies lol.

You’re Right, a ghost shouldnt be able to kill without boosting

Hogs betrayals are too touchy, I thought Team kills was off though?
3)This has happened to me a few times now=/ I just giggle at the Halo shenanigans [When we get them] and move on 
I’ve always tended to avoid vehicles in general, but yes, I do feel like the splatter mechanic needs some work done to it.
lol yet you hit the enemy full pelt and don’t get a splatter - seems -Yoink- backwards.
I especially love being splattered by a ghost at the height of my jump, but I can never splatter anyone in a ghost even with a direct hit–it at most pops their shields and they jump on my ghost and kill me
> lol yet you hit the enemy full pelt and don’t get a splatter - seems -Yoink!- backwards.
I forgot about that one, but I chalk that up to latency more than anything else. Still, it’s terribly aggravating to ram into someone’s back and have them bounce off of you like rubber.

In playlists where friendly fire is turned off (Infinity Slayer) you can still betray with splatters

Not to mention all the times I’m standing RIGHT NEXT TO the enemy vehicle and no board prompt appears. I’ll mash X like an idiot but nothing happens.
Any one else find it easier to splatter your teammates more than the other team? That kindof bothers me…

I do the same thing. I really don’t understand it. I mostly avoid vehicles all together though, except for the tank if I happen to find it half way through the match, and we all know you can’t get splatters with that unless you do it on your own teammate.
I got run down by a tank once (I was running in front of it and it grazed me) and it said I committed suicide…
Yeah but you ran infront of a tank!

Naturally Ive splattered friendlies with my ghost all the time [why they stand in front of my ghost RIGHT when I get in it, idk of course im gonna boost right away!]
But Warthogs arent in inf Slayer 
Even if a ghost is boosting, it should have to have momentum behind it to get the kill. Sometime it will be boosting but moving side to side very slowly and I’ll get splattered trying to board it. Very confusing.

The splatter physics is broken 
I’ve splattered people full on and just pushed them and the same has happened to me. And I’ve grazed my teammates for a betrayal. It’s not consistent at all.
I have been booted from over 10 games because of people getting spawned under my wraith.
This can sometimes be quite the opposite. Several times I have been trying to splatter someone when they jump. I hit most of their body, but then they are just fine and sometimes don’t even have shield damage.
> I have been booted from over 10 games because of people getting spawned under my wraith.
I’ve been lucky in that my teammates have been pretty understanding when I accidentlly run them over. No boots yet.
The splatter physics have been broken LONG before Halo 4, though

Only one that really bothered me was a game were I was 44-1 within 5 minutes of the game starting. my one death was me getting betrayed. unfortunately there was one player on my team who kept sprinting into me when i was in wraith and if i just barely moved the slightest bit i would betray him. third time this happened he booted me. I have a feeling I would have set a new personal record for most kills that match, possibly gotten an unfrig, and many many more high multi kills. if only I had smarter teammates…
