Im tired of -yoinks- that just melee you for nothing just do be an idiot even when i dont have a power wepon even when im the best on the team they ack like asswholes and whant to hit just for fun cant people just play the game in multiplayer to win not -Yoink- around and i dont use bad communicatoin on them in the game to piss them of either, please 343industries please turn off friendly fire in halo 4 so that when i get -yoinks- like that that it wont bring the team down so bad. And can you also make a search preference that will primarily search for serious people that play to win and that are skilled because i really dont want a team that -Yoinks!- around so can you please really make that preference for people like me, and please make a preference for the people that -Yoink- around so they can find a match to.
That’s why we need ranked and social. But, it ain’t happening for some stupid reason.
Taking Friendly Fire off would solve a ton of problems in Halo. Never quite understood why it wasn’t put in to begin with.
I hate randoms too ;/
That’s why i prefer playing with friends. We avoid stupid power weapon traitors and -50 slumber party kids and (most of the time) have fun.
> That’s why we need ranked and social. But, it ain’t happening for some stupid reason.
Yes because things like that never happened in ranked playlists.

Friendly fire was only on in previous Halo’s “to prevent grenade spam.” I always thought this was an awful excuse. Now in Halo 4, players won’t be able to pick up grenades from dead players (without a special perk, at least) so that makes that excuse invalid. Friendly fire should be turned off for Halo 4.
They should just implement a better betrayal system, where it builds up points against the person betraying you, instead of a seemingly random booting system.
It would only solve one problem and create another. Its about the best of two evils.
There have been so many threads about this before, and there have been good reasons to keep the friendly fire on in all of these threads. Sigh. I’ll explain it again, with friendly fire off you could easily just throw a sticky at your teammate, command them to run into the other team, and bam easy overkill. It also forces players to be more careful with power weapons. See? It’s better to have friendly fire on.

You forgot: people that use charged Plasma Pistol shots on you when you are using a vehicle(Wraith, Scorpion, Banshee, and Falcon are the biggest ones) and basically cause you to die from the enemy team. Then you kill them and they boot you.

Taking it off could create problems like reaching areas where you normaly couldn’t go. It also makes the game more fun.
no friendly fire opens the door to even more trolling and bad teammates then with it.

I fail to see how betrayals make the game more fun.
Unless… You’re one of them!
halo needs a betrayal system. otherwise you can go explosive happy (grenades and power alike) and not give a damn who you are screwing over to get your kill. friendly fire is what makes people be more careful with things such as rocket launchers, fuel rods, vehicles, and various other weapons. how would you like it if some troll kept rocketing you to get every kill when he is right in front of you and he didnt get punished for it in any way? at least with friendly fire he would be at net 0 for killing you and the enemy. granted accidents happen (e.g. tumbling worthog lands on your freaking head, or you walk into a rocket shot by your team mate when he is shooting at some one else) but friendly fire is what encourages a more skill based environment. and encourages people to be more careful with their HIGH EXPLOSIVES that would kill just about ANYTHING in one shot, friendly or not. its a battle. bullets and explosives hurt no matter who fires them.
Lol AMEN
Lol AMEN

Also this. I made the exact same argument this morning on a now dead thread.

I hate getting marched with morons who go 4-15.
Even without friendly fire, people will still find ways to troll others. Wether it involves vehicles (pushing you around and off ledges) or standing in your line of sight (now only you die from a rocket at point blank range as they t-bag you and run off with the rockets), trolls will still troll you.
An improvement to the betrayl system should happen before the idea of removing friendly fire comes up.

Well, you’re not supposed to kill them! Just follow them around the map, keep their shield/health low, and help them get killed. ;D It’s even better if they’re sniping… Hopefully if they get tired of it and betray you again, you get to boot them.
