So I booted up Halo Reach and played some Double Team and BTB. In a double team game on countdown, when my team is blowing out the other team, I usually start to goof around which often means to do squats (crouch multiple times, -Yoink!- the ground, hump the ground, you know) across from my opponent to show my defiance as he tries to shoot me down. But ever so often there comes a time when my opponent returns my signal with a friendly -Yoink!- on his side. Then we both acknowledge each others’ teabags with teabags and thus an unofficial truce is formed.
Such rare moments of brotherhood is comparable to unofficial ceasefires on Christmas day along the trenches in WW1 where each side emerged from their holes and ditches to sip tea and eat cookies with the “enemy”. Although in this case, me and my new found friend followed each other throughout Countdown frolicking around the map playing a game of ‘follow the leader’.
This doesn’t happen often, maybe a handful of times among hundreds of games. In BTB, a friendly honk from the warthog may award you with your opponent jumping in as gunner to your warthog and mowing down your own teammates, but you don’t care, you are laughing your head off with your newly found passenger.
Moments like these are some of my favorite in Halo games.
I love the guys who will pick you up in the warthog and drive you into their teams base, funny though, I dont care for them when they are on my team LOL

I hate it when the other team picks me up and I shoot down his teammates, then he turns a complete 360 (literally and figuratively) and drives me off a cliff. I mean, what gives man? I thought we had something going…
Ah, yes, I love making a cease fire with the enemy, be it whatever reason. Lulz, not getting spawn raped as bad, or letting them kill my own team in a warthog because we are owning them so hard.
It happened a lot more often in Halo 3 than it does in Reach. Maybe people weren’t such try hards a couple years back, or what. I dunno.
Of course though, the only thing you have to watch out for is getting into an enemy warthog on a map where it can be drive off a cliff. If that isn’t an option, then I think that the other team is more open to accepting a ride.
I remember this happened to me once in Doubles. Same scenario, my team was winning big, and all four of us just went in the center of the map and teabagged for like 5 minutes. Lulz were had.
