Hi everyone, this is my first time on these forums. Anyways, Halo 4 has become increasingly frustrating for me and my friends because of relentless team killing. I’ve been playing nothing but the Heavies match made list, and I understand that with so many big vehicles and weapons, accidents happen. Accidents don’t bother me, what does bother me though, is being in a vehicle (i.e. a Scorpion)and someone gets upset because they wanted it, or they’;re just being a troll and they start throwing grenades at me, or shoot at it until I’m either on the edge of being blown up or I actually do get blown up. This happens regularly.
I’ve also noticed many players will shoot at you until your shields are completely drained, then an enemy will pick you off with a BR in 1 shot from across the map. Anytime we have ever retaliated and killed the troll, we get immediately booted even though we do not get the option to ever boot them.
I’ve also noticed a large number of idiots who, if they don’t get the vehicle of their choice, will charge out in front of the vehicle you’re driving so that you accidentally run them over. The fact that they have themselves committed suicide is not caught by the game and rather declared as a betrayal and we are thus booted from the game. I now have to report people literally every game I play for team killing, it is adversely affecting my score being killed 15% of the time by my own team.
Does anyone else have this problem and, better yet, know of any solutions?
The solution is to turn off friendly fire all together. I used to abhor the idea but after playing infinity slayer I have come to realize that the game is better when you cannot do this.
Turn off friendly fire? It never was turned on I believe…actually I didn’t even know you could do something with this setting. How do you change it?

I think certain playlists have things like that.
In Spartan Ops you can’t betray your team mates, not sure about NPC allies but player controlled allies can’t be betrayed by you.
The vast majority of the people still playing Halo 4 are the people who only care about big guns and 'splody vehicles, not teamwork or winning. This should be expected.
Friendly Fire should have been turn off when they released this.
I was in a match where this one guy put my Mantis and Scorpion on fire, destroyed my banshee(thanks survivor), and killed me with a sniper when I was going to get a perfection!
He betrayed everyone else as well, but mostly me because I retaliated(he literally chased me around the map with the scorpion I gave to him.
Next game, all of my team betrayed him as well.
He still didn’t stop so in the lobby, I just left.
We should have an anti grief system or just turn off friendly fire.

You can splatter them.

Splattering should be the only way to betray at all. If that were to be turned off it could be bad for the driver because the fool that jumps in front of you would cause you to flip… or it could be super awesome if hitting a teammate sent them hurtling through the air armor lock pinch style.
Unless I’m blind and can’t see it, but I’m pretty sure the matchmaking in war games don’t have an option where you can turn off friendly fire. What drives me nuts is getting betrayed several times and never getting the option to boot that person, then if I retaliate and kill one of my betrayers I’m booted immediately. Gaaaaaa!!!
Just to add some perspective to this:
This problem is nothing like what it used to be. Back in Halo 2, there were 10x as many ppl that would de-rank or just go into a game to mess with teammates by team killing.
Comparatively speaking, it’s really a non-issue nowadays IMHO.
I’m pretty sure you can’t turn off friendly fire in a matchmaking game. DemonRider1069, the best thing you can do in my opinion is step away from Heavies for a few days just to calm down. Play something where you can’t get betrayed by team firing idiots for a day or two, then go back to Heavies and prepare yourself for more betrayals. They’re bound to happen.
