So there’s no friendly fire in this flight and I was wondering if there’s been any comment about it’s role in the game from 343? Is it just off in casual but on in ranked? Off in both? Just off for the bot flight? Personally, I always enjoyed friendly fire in Halo because it forces you to be smarter with your shooting and grenades. With it off people can just spam grenades to their hearts content with zero repercussions.
They mentioned being able to drop weapons might finally be a solution to a teammate trying to betray you for sniper.
Partially true, if someone tries to kill me for sniper I’ll throw it off the map.
So it appears friendly fire will be in the final game. I imagine they are keeping it out of bot playlists to stop griefers. It will 100% be in competitive, they haven’t commented on that but it definitely will be. I imagine it will be in social but potentially not and it may be turned off for some gametypes. If one PVP playlist doesn’t have it in I would say BTB, but I think even that is unlikely.
It makes sense from an onboarding process to have it off in Bot slayer, in my opinion. I would be okay if this extended to social to keep things social and fun, but it should be on in ranked. Much like how grenade hit markers will be turned off in ranked.

So after all this years, this is their solutions againts betrayer ? Give up his weapon, surrender, give the traitor a chance to have what he wants when he wants !
They are better solution agains betrayer, like :
1 Prevent a betrayer to pick up a weapon/flag from his teammate
2 Increase the reappearance time for each betrayal (5second, 10second, 15second …)
3 Reduce the score to -1
4 Propose the exclusion option from the second time
5 Remove friendly fire for the vehicles to avoid crash (especially ghost)
6 Remove friendly fire for melee attack
