In order for a betrayal to occur, the betraying player must be completely responsible for the death of his or her teammate. Enemy players must play little or no role in the act. For example, if two players on opposing teams are battling each other, and a third player accidentally kills his already-damaged teammate with a grenade, it will not be counted as a betrayal, and the enemy will be credited with the kill. On the other hand, gunning down a teammate in your own base while no enemies are around ''absolutely'' counts as a betrayal. | In order for a betrayal to occur, the betraying player must be completely responsible for the death of his or her teammate.

Most betrayals occur with the use of explosives, as a result of unanticipated splash damage. Almost ''all'' betrayals occurring without splash damage are deliberate, though there are exceptions -- for example, a player may betray a teammate if, while taking a [[Warthog]] over a [[Man Cannon]] on ''[[Halo 3]]'''s map [[Valhalla (Level)|Valhalla]], they land on their teammate. | Most betrayals occur with the use of explosives, as a result of unanticipated splash damage.

Also, in the reverse sense, a player may be driving around in a Warthog and have a friendly player fall from the man cannon on top of them, giving them a betrayal by splatter. | ||
In ''[[Halo 2]]'', deliberate teamkillers are a great hassle to deal with, as such an offense was not ban-worthy. In ''Halo 3'', a new option called "Betrayal Booting" was introduced; players that commit too many betrayals can be booted by their most recent victim even during [[Matchmaking|matchmade]] games, with the teamkiller also receiving an EXP penalty. In [[Custom Games]], "Betrayal Booting" can be set manually, to decide how many betrayals must occur before the player is booted. In most Matchmaking games, the betrayal count is set to two. | In ''[[Halo 2]]'', deliberate teamkillers are a great hassle to deal with, as such an offense was not ban-worthy.
