When I am playing any multiplayer mode online, I very frequently am betrayed by teammates with stickies especially but also any other grenade or regular gunfire and beatdowns if they can. It is usually just because I grabbed the sniper spawn or a vehicle before they did but occasionally just because they apparently find it fun to betray teammates. In past games, you could boot people pretty much any time they betrayed you. I understand that everyone kills a teammate every once in a while with a stray shot or grenade and gets booted from the game despite not meaning to do this, but now that you can rarely boot someone, betraying is rampant in almost every match. I rarely play Ragnarok and get the sniper first without the only other person who wanted it throwing grenades at me. I am also tired of playing CTF and having a teammate betray me near my own base so that they can steal the flag and add one cap to their stats. It makes the game so much less fun and so much more aggravating. Please, please, PLEASE!!! let us boot people who are betraying us so that the game can be as fun as it should be without having to worry about people who are supposed to be helping me win kill me. I have been playing these games for over a decade now and do not feel I should have to grow to hate it because my teammates can stick me and steal my gun because they want it.

^^ This happens ALL the time to me as well. If the game recognizes and the announcer says “Betrayal,” then give me the option to boot that player. Why would the game say “Betrayal,” and not give me the option to boot? I understand that accidents happen, but when it is one person continually betraying another teammate, the game should recognize this and take corrective action. There’s hardly any consequence for team killing anymore, because it rarely gives the option, and it’s ludicrous. What are the stipulations and guidelines of how a betrayal is worthy of booting? Whatever they are, it isn’t a wide enough definition of how a betrayal is calculated, by any means.
Halo 4’s (And in some cases Halo: Reach) Betrayal system is somewhat glitched so to speak from what I can tell. To start, if you are betrayed being hit by a vehicle, the game usually doesn’t register the betrayal even though clearly saying “Betrayal”.
I’ve also said in a sense it caters to the players (Usually young kids who shouldn’t even be playing the game, the ESRB Rating is there for a reason)who feel entitled to things, as it is glitched in the sense that the first betrayal during a game is never accounted for even though announcing it. So basically, somebody gets upset with you at the beginning of the match for taking a power weapon that they wanted. They feel entitled to it. They kill you “Betrayal!”, yet no boot option comes up for you. You go back and kill them justifiably and pick up the weapon your teammate took from you. You’re then booted from the game because the selfish ignorant player on your team (I wouldn’t even call him a teammate at that point) got the boot option. People who have done this to me are avoided and given negative feedback, Unsporting Conduct being the reason.
In essence “Oh you took my weapon that was available for anybody to grab. That was mine as I feel entitled to it. I’m upset. Kill you and mine! Wow, I’m so lucky I wasn’t booted at the beginning. Oh you’re back. Oh you killed me and took my weapon from me. I got the boot option, BOOT! That’ll show you to take my weapon that is mine, even though it was available for the taking to anybody, because I feel entitled to it.”
So I guess you can say the Halo 4 Betrayal System caters to trolls using vehicles and people who feel entitled to weapons at the beginning of a game as well as people who feel entitled to objective objects.
This is intresting
