I don’t even like banning for teamkilling during non ranked gamemodes in general. I actually like that factor where you could have a team that’s infighting and turns on each other. It brings more drama into the match and can make for a more fun experience imo.
I don’t know if it’s just in Ranked or not, but I’ve been accidentally killing allies with grenades lately…
That’s literally what happened to me just now lol. I was soaring around the map in my ghost racking up kills, but accidentally ran over 3 different players over the course of the ~5 minutes I was using it. It’s hard because you really do have to keep moving, and you can’t control when a team mate steps out or jumps down in front of you. Now I’m sitting here “banned” lol.
I’m all for trolls getting what they deserve, but c’mon man. It should only ban you if you’re TRYING to teamkill. Teamkilling’s been a part of Halo, a common side effect of chucking dozens of grenades. The goal is to have some carefree fun. It’s one thing to ban someone who’s going on a teamkilling rampage, like 5-6 teamkills in an “X” amount of time. Not someone who got a couple of accidental roadkills while slaughtering in the Ghost.
If I was a real troll this wouldn’t bother me, I’d just create a new microsoft account and head straight back into MP to troll some more. Me, I’m just disappointed I have to sit in “343 time out” while my friends still play, because I made a naughty teamkill. I wonder how long this ban lasts? Someone said 5 minutes but it still says I’m banned.

Yeah, I just accidentally killed a teamate too. It was CTF BTB and both teams were really good. The entire match it was a draw until the final round where the enemies just rushed it. I tried to retake the flag at 20 seconds remaining so I got on a hog and I was going uphill, the moment I reached the end of it the hog was flying in the air and I just saw there was a teammate in the middle of the road as I was about to land, I couldn’t maneuver so I accidentally squished him and the match ended. Didn’t get a ban tho, but yeah 343 should take some considerations. I understand and it’s a nice mechanic since there are trolls out there who want to ruin people’s fun, but sometimes there are cases like mine and a few of us here who TK by accident.
Here is a better question hahaha. If you turned team killing off, WHY ALLOW BETRAYING WITH THE VEHICLES!?
Glad to know the quitban has caused yet another stupid issue. Yesterday I had a teammate feed the enemies kills to end the game faster and avoid the quitban. IRRITATING!

I have always had an issue with the Halo Franchise about that. Ever since Halo Combat Evolved You were “ALWAYS” able to turn off “Stupid Friendly Fire Off” ( I do in all of my maps )
anywayz, But you can still kill “TEAMMATES” with a vehicle. It has never made a damn since to me at all!!

Unlike other Halo games where the person you betrayed would have the option to kick you or not, this game automatically kicks you. Get rid of the auto system and give the power back to the players.

Because it would lead to some hilarious but exploitable physics where players could fire their team mates across the map.
They wouldn’t be able to make teammates in vehicles phase through you as well?

Imagine a slow moving warthog with 3 Spartans shooting from inside it.
Couldn’t they make it so it doesn’t allow bullets to move through the Warthog?
yeah but 343 were making the game and Microsoft wanted it out on this generation of consoles not next gen in another 10 years time.
Give them a break dude… they are only a small indie studio working with loose change they found down the back of their sofa’s.
