I've heard there are some bugs with FF, but I haven't ever seen it on. Does it work? I think it might add to the realism of the game, e.g. you wouldn't shell the wall where your team is with HE. The only issue would be the TKers, which is something I am happy to not have to deal with anymore (after CS:S). That could be a pretty serious issue in it self. It would also open another window for griefers. Is FF worth the BS that will come with it?
Friendly fire is realistic but it's not fun. Realism can be fun, Fun can be realism. But friendly fire only adds furstration. Exedently hiting your friend is not nice.
Friendly Fire? Hmmmmm let me think, No, No, No, No, No, NO! I don't want to be accidentally shooting my own team mates! Also, think of the griefing there would be!
Left For Dead does not have nukes or missiles. Chances are with ff, some idiot is going to end up killing a dozen of their team mates with one misplaced nuke.
emp_recruit: I herd u can ninemein ur comm to make it fly lol. Empty: OH FUCK NO GET AWAY FROM IT NO! emp_recruit: lololololol BOOOOOOOM You have been defeated.
It's been inherently disabled. There are still some odd bugs around that cause the game to think you've killed a player, though (for example you killing a friendly jeep with another player still in it). Friendly fire was possible to be on in previous versions, and it was not fun at all. You'd end up grenading / mortaring shooting teammates more often than enemies because of all the explosions and fast-paced-ness.
I think we need friendly fire trying to 9mine the friendly comm? here comes the bullet trying to block pathways? BULLET Walls blocking your way? DECON etc etc etc
but stickies dont instantly kill the comm vehicle, many players vs one, infantry can't recycle, etc etc etc
Friendly fire only increases the matter of ways that you can grief. Right now people whine about stack in spec, imagine what they can do if FF is on.. And 9mine is fixed.
The main problem The main problem is not the respective professional players, but the noobs. They will grief and start mining, shooting killing buildings, team mates and the CV. How is that supposed to be fun? And btw, how great would it be if you are comm and try to build stuff and some noob scunt kills you and takes the CV and griefs it. Thats not fun :S
If removing it fixes the problem, I call it fixing it And please, play counterstrike with idiots who like to kill you. For 24 hours. You will RAEG.
