    I'm sure we have all been through getting betrayed more then once by one guy and not being able to boot him out but when you decide to get revenge you get booted out, well I have an idea for a "Revenge" ability. It is when you are betrayed you and your not able to to boot the player out it will give you 'press Y to get revenge" then you spawn with a weapon that you select (That can only hurt the player who betrayed you) and you get 30 seconds to kill the player and after you kill the player or run out of time you spawn as normal. I think it would be a great idea because you can breathe a little easier in MP and even if you aren't able to boot them out you can still do something about it. What do you guys think?

    That would only encourage more animosity towards one another.

    I think it's bulls*** when I get betrayed 3 times in a row and not be able to boot him out, so when I decide to get back at him, I get booted out. I think we should be allowed to do something if we can't boot them.

    No, I dont like the idea of going after another player.  Just do what a lot of PC games do and let you choose a punishment.  I  love the freezing option, so that the player cannot move.  Or where they lose all weapons.  Or they catch on fire and are losing life gradually.  Or you just strike them down.  Or make them move super slow.  Or blind them.
    But damn, it is always awesome to betray someone, then bait them into killing you enough times that you can boot them.  Or its even more hilarious when someone does it on accident, it happens, but you boot them anyway without hesitation.  Laugh your ass off.

    Not really. The more often you betray the higher the chance you might get booted. Besides, a little griefing can be fun.

    Please, I have played so much Halo 3 matchmaking it isn't even funny. People who betray are very easy to deal with and besides, it's only one game and it doesn't happen very often. Unless you're playing socials where no one really cares.

    Yah. One time this kid was camping by the Energy Sword spawn, but I alread had the sword. It ran out of ammo, so when I went up to it it JUST spawned and I grabbed it. I already had the sword first, so I deserved it anyway. He betrayed me. I betrayed him back for a sword I had since the beginning of the game, and then I got booted. I tryed to invite him into a party chat to say some choice words, but then he put me on his block list. Stuff like that just makes me so mad. Well, at least I was able to vent to my friends and have them say "Ya I know what you mean." Somehow that always makes people feel better.

    Speaking as someone who's accidentally shot teammates many a time when it's late at night and I don't quite distinguish red and blue so well when something jumps out at me and I have a rocket launcher, this is a terrible goddamn idea. Accidental betrayals do exist, you know.

    I really don't like this idea. It creates conflict between a team of people when you should be working together and what's more if there is someone in the game who is really determined to be a jackass it won't matter how many times you come bearing down on them with a spartan laser, they'll still betray you again. This mechanic also carries the problem that for up to 30 seconds of the game one member of the team is going to be preoccupied hunting down their betrayer instead of contributing towards their team, while the other player may be preoccupied simply trying to avoid 'revenge' when they may have been contributing towards their team. This presents an even bigger problem if you consider that accidental betrayals do occasionally happen and can't be helped, but if this system were implemented accidental betrayals would be treated exactly the same as deliberate ones. Also there's not really anything here to stop you using your weapons to menace the opposing team, even if the rocket launcher you've spawned with can only hurt your betrayer the opposing team don't know that and you could easily abuse the weapon to scatter the opposing team even if there's no real threat.

    That's not a very good idea. It's good until you say you get to kill them back with whatever gun. Instead, why not just press y to kill them automatically?
