Is it way easier to boot people form the server now? 
 
Guy runs in front of the warthog im driving in the middle of a firefight, i try to stop and cant, he dies. terrible mistake. 
 
but boot-worthy? I dont think so. dont I get a few chances or something?

You should only really get booted if you back up over him.

Thats what I thought, but twice now it's been right after the first accident.

You're playing Halo. 
 
If you're expecting people to be kind and respectful, you're playing the wrong game. 

I've only been playing Firefight and when somebody killed me, it seemed rather intentional since the guy stood over my dead body for maybe a minute or two and didn't move, but I didn't boot him.  I wouldn't want a short-handed party as you might imagine, but I was still given the option to boot him even though, I think, it was his first and only betrayal in the game. 
 
When I betrayed somebody by accident in another game (Firefight, as well), I had a rocket launcher and a guy got in my way and died, then I was booted.  So, apparently, there are no second chances.

Your entire family will be told to suck a cock, just for not applying the right tactics in Halo. So frankly you should consider yourself grateful it's only a boot and not an envelope full of African viruses and feces delivered through your letterbox.

Yeah, I threw a grenade as a Scorpion spawned and the grenade bounced off of the Scorpion to kill one of my teammates, and the effing guy boots me.

People abused the amount of betrayals you could get in Halo 3 before getting kicked. Since you can't really lose rank it doesn't matter as much that you get booted either.

It's basically the same, but the quality of the sound is shitty because Blue Tooth mics are terrible. "

I thought I was going to get booted during the TNT for running someone over.

Honestly, I've met a lot of nice people on Reach so far. No douchie people.

it's obvious (most of the time) if it was an accident or not...especially when they yell SORRY into their mic. But as in any game people are sometimes total dicks...

" Honestly, I've met a lot of nice people on Reach so far. No douchie people. "

if you hit the guy from behind youre always at fault.  rules of the road man.   
 
also thats why i really hated doing my whole teamkilling schpeil in halo.  the guys could just boot you right away while in other games it would have a limit. 
 
and if the teamkills were accidental, some douche could just chuck you from the game.

Well in Halo 2 and 3 you needed to murdelize the whole frigging team twice before it put up the booting prompt.

I got booted from a game because i went in for a sword lunge and my team mate walked in front of me. He should have gotten suicide for that shit.

it was in the weekly update that giving the option to boot upon betrayal takes into account not just previous betrayals but also damage inflicted on teammates.

"Honestly, I've met a lot of nice people on Reach so far. No douchie people. "

I love when a betrayal happens and its like .01 of a second until they get booted its like the guy who died is jamming on the X button as soon as he dies

I've killed a couple team mates so far, but I've been quick to apologise, so maybe that's why I haven't been booted from a game? 
 
Also, set the psyche profile to "Polite". You run into a lot of great people playing Reach with that setting.

I think it's usually two betrayals before that prompt comes up for someone.

Somebody around here mentioned that a tank spawned and crushed her along with two team mates and somehow it was seen as a betrayal on her side which resulted in getting booted off. I'm don't know how it works since I don't play it but it betrayals are dealt with in a weird way with this game.

I have yet to have this issue. Aim better.

Yeah the worst was when I hit a teammate by accident with a ghost ( a whiny 12 year old kid, mind you), and was booted, then subsequently banned for 15 minutes for quitting too many games, because I unlike 99% of Halo's online community fucking hate Slayer Pro, and will do anything to get out of a match.  

Slayer pro is pretty lame.

tf2 is your game then

I was playing Halo 3 recently and accidentally team killed a guy. I was booted within about 3 seconds. I joined another game and pulled the trigger to snipe a guy who was really far away, just as someone from my team ran by about half-way between us. Unfortunately, it was a beautiful headshot to my own teammate. If I'd been trying to hit him, it would have been the best shot ever. Based on the angle he was coming from, there was no way he saw the enemy I was firing at, so I was once again booted immediately. After team kills in two games in a row, and only about 5 minutes apart, I took a break out of fear I might trigger a matchmaking suspension.

Mistakes happen and some people over-react.

The new splatter system makes it even more annoying got booted twice because people just walk in front of the warthog.

That sounds really dumb.  Why is friendly fire on in the first place, especially in a game like Halo where in any given match you have players from ages 9 to 30 trying to piss eachother off through the headsets.

TEAM KILL TEAM KILL!!! and no that is kind of messed up, if you repeatedly do it though then that can be a huge offense...

Lets see you guys beat this.
 
Invasion slayer, the blood gulch map wannabe hemor something.
We capture a drop point, me and 2 others stand somewhere in the middle of it so we can grab the weapons.
Surprise surprise the weapons don't spawn but instead a tank does.
It lands on our heads, I died and the other two also did.
We didn't have a clue what happened till my cousin explained.
Now somehow that was my fault and I got booted by the other two..
 
What the fuck?

That''s bizarre. In any game with friendly fire, you've got to give someone the benefit of the doubt at least once before booting

It also sucks that on top of all of this, getting booted counts as quitting which currently is banning me from matchmaking.

I just click forgive every time.

If someone unfairly boots me I stalk them through my recent players list and sabotage their games.
 
Microsoft gave you the tools, might as well use them.

In Halo 3, if you didn't have a history of betraying, it would take three betrayals before someone had the option to boot you. If you had a history of it, however, than you could be booted after only one betrayal. 
 
It seems they have changed how it works in Reach. I betrayed GoranP (my first betrayal in that game ever, though, it was intentional) and he claims he had the option to boot me.

I was playing 3v3 team slayer. I had 20 kills while the other two guys in my team named WinnethePooh and WinnethePooh(1) had a score of 1 and 1 respectively. So, I'm shooting this enemy in front of me with my DMR, get his shields down and my team mate walks in front of me, gets shot at twice by the enemy then gets hit in the head by my DMR while I was trying to kill the enemy. He then kicks me instantly without any sort of consideration. Kicking the only guy who knew how to press the right trigger button, not such a good move.

In Matchmaking Firefight you will be up for an immediate boot upon your first team kill.
To get round this, you simply have to not kill any teammates. 
 
Competitive Matchmaking is slightly different in that you have to kill two teammates to be up for The Boot (if I'm remembering that correctly, it's been a while).
Again, the easy way round this is to shoot your enemies in the face, and not your teammates.

When a team kill occurs, the person who was team killed is prompted with an option to either boot the team killer or forgive them.  It's all up to how much of an asshole the other player is.  Sadly, with the way the game is setup in terms of controls, someone could very easily accidentally boot someone.  What makes that worse is that the person is never replaced on your team, which means that you are one man short. 
 
In the end, all I can say is "get better aim and avoid dumbasses as much as possible".

One time in Halo 3 a teammate ran up to me and deliberately shot me to death. The option to boot did NOT come up. So when I respawned, I hunted him down and killed him back for revenge. He booted me.  
 
The booting system was jacked in Halo 3. Still kinda seems that way in Reach. I just don't understand how it works.
