Tip for Teams: Steal Each other's Kills in Halo 2

The accusation of "You stole my kill" to a teammate may lead to team members holding off on assisting other players in a game of Team Slayer. I'd submit that it doesn't matter which person on your team the game attributes the kill to. As long as it's a point for your team, it did its job. Imagine how much faster your team could get points if all four members shot at one target at a time! You could kill the enemy almost instantly, which means that the person he was firing at will have less damage and will live longer. Which person the game attributed the kill to is not so important that one must hold back or complain if someone killed the person they were dueling. In essence, you wanted the point for your team, and your teammate helped you reach your goal.

Imagine if one particular teammate did such tactics that were helpful to their teammates that didn't reflect his or her score. A teammate could be calling out enemy locations, driving the Warthog so the gunner could get kills, or dual wielding Plasma Pistols in order to get as many enemies' sheilds down as possible for teammates to pick up. All of those tactics accelerate a team's point-getting, yet by the postgame carnage report no one would know that this player was even helping his team because his score wouldn't be high.

A team works best when players care more about winning as a team than showing off and getting glory and attention.
