Alright so if youre here chances are youre experiencing this too:
- youre playing grifball like normal,
- you hit a teammate, they die,
- you get kicked for betraying a teammate,
- you may even get banned (like i did a little while ago)
why is this going on? it only seems to be recently that this bug has happened, and i thought it had cleared up until a little while ago where i got kicked for betrayal again and in my next match i got banned (despite not even beig able to play because of spawnkillers, but thats besides the point). is it a glitch where the betrayal booting setting has temporarily become unstuck? or it just that the betrayal booting mechanic has been changed and you just have to be more aware of yourself and your team now?
i know its not just me/my side bugging out because a few days ago i got a message during a match asking if i wanted to kick a player for betraying me (obviously i said no), and thats what tipped me off because before that it was fine.
im almost afraid to touch the playlist unless i have direct confirmation from 343 saying “hey look we’re sorry this has been fixed”.
i dont want a permanent ban for something as menial as this!!
so has anyone got a reason as to why this is or is it just a thing now…?

It’s this reason. I play lots of Grifball and average about 1 betrayal per game, and I’ve never been banned, and only was booted once during the first days of Hammer Storm.
Yep posted this in the main thread. Tried so here but nobody would listen. My highest ban was 24 hours just for accidental betrayals in Grifball. 343I needs to fix this ASAP because I am now paranoid whenever I play my favourite gamemode
I thought it was just me. I’ve been experiencing this too and thought it was always the same but people have gotten more sensitive to getting betrayed. It’s hard to avoid killing teammates when everyone balls up to defend the goal over and over. I’ve just been getting booted but got banned for 2hrs last night.
It’s the new update, bugged it out. The did patch it so betrayals had higher threshold but I feel the new update messed it up again.
Had a feeling it was something due to an update, can’t see why they’d just up-and-change it y’know?
I just don’t believe that it would be a case of “hey I hope you’re constantly staring at your tracker and know the exact radius of the gravity hammer’s AOE :)”. Like, isn’t that the exact reason why betrayal booting was disabled? Because you were 9 times out of 10 likely to hit a teammate whilst playing? And yeah, okay, I give Halo 5 credit for trying to lower how many team kills occur (That’s definitely a thing that happened, right? It seems like the game tries to say “nope it wasn’t you who did this”, no matter the gametype) but… That alone doesn’t exactly scream “reasons to reenable betrayal booting in Grifball” to me.
So since it’s been a few days, has this been addressed yet? Still to scared to go near the playlist if I’m honest.
