Bullets verses mines verses people

(Monsterin) #1

Was just wondering if there are plans in the future for when you shoot an enemy prox mine and it blows up and gets a kill it will count for you as a kill. I did this to an owner of the mine and it just gave him a suicide was kinda disapointed but still funny so wasn’t too mad lol

Its fun, when used on proxy, when used on proxy and possible teammates it gets frustrating since it counts as that enemy proxy mine and Friendly fire is off by default.

I’ve done it before, it makes for a a great moment :smiley:

Once FF is enabled this should be much better.

Today in a 3v1 i killed 2 enemy next to each other who fell over and as i ran over their bodies an enemy mine - hidden under their fallen bodies - went off blowing me into pieces. The 3rd un killed player, a medic, goes over and just revives the two guys i just killed like nothing had happened.

With FF enabled that wouldn’t happen.

I can’t imagine playing with FF on, with all the airstrikes grenades and explosions happening, let alone gun fire. I’ve had my drag grenades bonce off peoples heads after stating I’m throwing it, I don’t want that to take out myself, him and other possible people and get the blame for it because of a simple mistake that wasn’t my own.

but still it’d be great if prox mines were counted as both the proxy and whoever destroys it when shot at, maybe like pineapple surprise.

THAT is exactly why we need FF we cant show the noobies mercy, just toss ur nade somewhere, you can just kill the enemy or urself, that is dumb! It is such a meta game to know you can really hit your teammates and u have to move out of their way to provide a 2v1 situation, to actually CARE about your teammates over the horizon of v21 v22! I cant understand that there are NO servers with that on? We got “rookie friendly” servers which are not really necessary since it is a frigging beta, let them cry if they want, just as the CEO of splash damage said, but no servers with ff what so ever! not even matchmaking got the right settings!

From what can be seen so far the big argument against FF servers (apart from just being noob or new) is this:

“I am skillful enuf to not do stupid stuff but i do not trust and am worried about other players…”:

on my team shooting me
on my team walking into my art
on my team griefing me
on my team getting in my way
on my team basically just messing up and i get the blame

Well with that attitude no one will get better because everyone is worried about others skills. Hows this? If u check before shooting you wont hit a friendly then others will be just like you and do the same. If u check before setting arty guess what - others will do the same. If you dont play bad others will try to do the same.

Its just about having a little faith that not everyone in the FPS are completely terrible skillets slackjaws when it comes to playing the game.

Remember if people are having a hard time getting it there is always server systems to remove (and vote kick to remove idiots intentionally running under teammates arty) continual TKrs. But basically if you do the right thing others will too.

I don’t remember I was ever playing on a ET server without FF and I didn’t recall any issues with it. Yeah, sometimes you got multi-team-kill but v46 or v45 fixed it kind of.

To be honest with FF on I find myself exploiting it by rushing in friendly air strikes for surprise attack and that is why I think this game needs FF, because otherwise it’s unbalanced imho.
