Can teammates steal objectives? (Wolfenstein: ET issue)?

(Kryptyk Samurai) #1

I remember back in the day playing Enemy Territory daily and having a great time. That is unless I found teammates disarming my bomb for instance and then planting theirs in order to steal the XP. That would **** me off to no end. I got there first, my bomb will help out the team as much as yours…you selfish ***.

Anyway, my question is, when I start a timer for an objective to be completed, say plant a bomb for instance, can my own teammates diffuse it and replant their own to “steal” the xp? I really hope they prevent that. I’ve been on FragWorld.org (great break down of Brink by-the-way) and didn’t see any mention of it or it being an issue.

Has anyone heard if only the opposition can diffuse a bomb?

i haven’t considered that yet, what i do know is that you get XP for the plant AND for the actual explosion:

ETQW already fixed that. And Brink goes even further by only allowing one charge on the objective.

If the game is just for them then they can be banned and play by themselves with bots who won’t care.

That is stupid imo.
Especially if you got a team that isn’t co-operating and you only got a couple of guys arming.

There’s only one guy arming at the time.

I thought it’s not possible to disarm your own bomb, ala etqw. You would need to have two selfish ***, one engineer and one soldier :stuck_out_tongue:

My understanding is that the game would reward behavior that supported teamwork, and that mutliple characters working at the objective would make the bomb/hack/what-have-you countdown much faster, and both/all players involved would be rewarded with XP. The developers have thought about this stuff, I am sure.

Thats what you get for doing objectives in pubs.
