a running trend with war zone is teammates spartan charging (which sometimes leads to getting killed) other teammates for a number of reasons the two most common i see is to push someone off an edge they are shooting off of (which 9 times out of 10 will get you killed) or when you pull out a good gun and the teammate repeatedly charges you till you die or drop it. now this forum isnt here to discuss whether the mechanic should be removed or not but to instead figure out how to deal with the teammates. the two things i can think of while still being practical is turning off teammate collision, basically team mates walk, run and charge through each other this would also prevent people from blocking a doorway by standing there. the only downside is that this would look very weird from on a graphical stand point as you watch spartans morph through each other. from a coding stand point (and i could be wrong i have limited coding experience) it wouldnt be very hard a they probably have a line of code saying that if two sprite hit boxes touch deny access to the (X), (Y), and (Z) coordinates. in theory if you remove this code youll remove collision and fix the issue. the other way is a little more complicated coding wise but thats to detect if teammate A has spartan charges teammate B (X) amount of times in a row and eject him from the game for poor sportsman ship or whatever reason. anyone else have any thoughts?
Some days ago I was on Stormbreak near the edge, just spawned nornfang sniping enemies trying to enter the fortress. Had that teammate constantly Spartan charging me trying to launch me off the edge to death.
He tried 3-4 times, then I prepared looking him on the radar and when he attempted another time I thrusted back and he missed flying out the edge and falling to suicide.
He basically quit out just half a second after I saw the suicide in the kill log.
Laughed hard.
Obviously I died some second after by an enemy sniper from the other side of the map.
I want all team damage to be turned off… Sorry but its not useful. I got betrayed by a teammate for my sniper…
They need to turn off the team knock back
Or when you’re trying to use the REQ station but some -Yoink!- keeps spartan charging you, so you can’t use it.
If someone is trying to grief me on the right-side perch at the armory on Apex on WZA, then I’ll typically move out the way and wait a little bit after they stole my spot then spartan charge them off the ledge into the enemy.
That was my spot mothertrucker
i only do it when i see that someones takes a power weapon of my corpse, lol
once i encountered a player who got the clue & “gave” it to me. too bad i didn’t got his GT, i’d thank him for that.

I for one, love to retard charge teammates, I find it pretty funny, that’s the only thing that gives that armor ability a reason to exist, in my opinion.
omg i love charging into sniping friendlies

yes , I know what u fell
This is annoying for all of the reasons mentioned by the post responses. I don’t mind horseplay while you are waiting for the timer to capture the armory, but any other time, ugh.
Sometimes when I play WZA and know we aren’t going to win, I’ll notice an afk player and will intentionally try to charge them off a ledge.
Its worse in BTB… Ill get spartan charged for sniper and not see it coming since its my own teammate…

THIS X100000000000000… so fraking irritating
Yeah, Spartan Charging your own team is rather stupid. My “bad” experience: Warzone Assault, the “Escape From ARC” map variant, we lost garage, trying to hold armory, I respawned with a chaingun but it put me behind the armory where I couldn’t clamber up the “decking” with the chaingun. Started walking around, slowly, to get to the armory to, y’know, be a team player and defend it. Some idiot charged me the whole time. At first I thought maybe he thinks I’m leaving, but after the third time I realized I was being deliberately kept from getting to the armory. Then we lost the armory, before I can even get close, and I got killed from behind by the Blue Team as I’m trying to get away from Captain Idiot.

Around a week ago, I had a teammate that kept standing in front of me when I was shooting my sniper rifle and then he kept spartan charging me when I was trying to use the REQ station. After that, I got in a ghost and betrayed him. I don’t feel bad since he had it coming. He kept trying to betray me with a ghost afterwards, but he never succeeded which was pretty funny.
Now this is something I will report and block over. If you’re doing it to take my req, you deserve to be banned. And if you lost your req because you died, tough. Deal with it. I didn’t kill you, not my problem.
This is hilarious. I Spartan charge my teammates in warzone all the time for good fun, and boy is it satisfying! It’s really useful when your teammate is just standing at a REQ station. Hit em a couple of times and he gets knocked out of the REQ system screen.

If a teammate is doing something that impacts a player or the game as a whole negatively, then you are free to file a complaint. That’s one of the reason 343 provides a comment section when you want to report someone.
Yeh mate this happens to me all the time, sick of the immaturity.
Team mates can also EMP their own teams vehicle. I once spawned a scorpion, and had some child on my team keep stunning it. I jumped out, let him have it, and it literally got blown up a few seconds later.
Its all the kids running around in warzone, give it another month or two and they’ll be gone. Team EMP should certainly be disabled though…
