Suggestion: allow us to shoot through our teammates in pubs.

Why? because i dont like it when scrubs run in front of me, and eleminate the 2v1 advantage.

the argument will be made that it hardens the difficulty of transitioning to ranked, and i agree, but there are examples of games where you can shoot through teammates in pubs while in comp teamkills are kept at a minimum. examples are CoD, CSGO.

Oh, no! Please, don’t! I like so much when I manage to make two enemies to move one behind the other, the second one becoming totally ineffective. All you have to do is to take them down, one by one. >:)

I will agree that teammates running in front of me ticks me off to no end, but honestly I’m just not sure that would be a very cool thing to do. Could you imagine plays where people start intentionally standing in front of others to block incoming fire? Rhino stands in front of Fragger, etc?

Anywho, Transitioning to ranked would be even harder as you say. And I’m not sure how many features they can add without ending up adding bugs too.

No Hanz I will keep blocking your Felix Foolery in UG you damn balcony abuser :wink:

I can’t help but think of the situations I’d abuse the hell out of this, using the scrubs you mentioned as a meatshield while I K121 behind them with relative ease while it takes time for the victim(s) to realize where is that melting bullet hail coming from. Oh and minigun Rhino trains, anyone? If Rhinos aren’t completely lined up how are you properly going to fight against a literal wall of bullets slapped at your face? Sure the thing works 2 ways but…no.

Not a fan of the idea. Rather have collision / FF pub servers around so they can learn not to go stand between friendly sniper’s LoS and enemies anticipated route of offensive.

While this might be interesting in cobination with FF, aka bullets going through your teammate and dealing a partial damage to stuff behind it, I think simply shooting through teammates would break the immersion. Atleast for me.

Bolt action sniper rifles are already able to do so.

But I don’t think players that are lined-up straight should do 100 percent dmg efficiency.

Well I totally agree with somebody blocking shots by interrupting


(GatoCommodore) #7

i often purposefully block my friends with a rhino to not get shot by the enemies because they are a more capable shooter than my shotgun at long range.

but sometimes i also regret that one headshot i should have shot blocked by my friendlies

I’ve lost quite a few games due to teammates blocking me accidentally. Generally, the teammates that do this aren’t even paying attention or trying to stop someone from planting or delivering so I’m the last hope for our team to win…

Example: Trainyard, final objective. 10 seconds left. Attacking team makes a final rush. I’m on the bridge waiting for them to come in so I can pop their heads off. A Kira hops in my way shooting a jumping Aura that’s heading toward our spawn. She spends a few seconds doing this while I’m trying to shoot a Proxy that’s delivering. Of course this Kira happens to get in my way and the couple of shots I managed to get in before she did so did not do enough damage to kill the Proxy. Therefore, GAME LOST.

But I wouldn’t really want bullets going through teammates other than bolt-action sniper rifles.

I’d rather just be able to murder my teammates for being dipshits and moving in front of me.


(Nail) #10

yup, FF on ftw


(Sorotia) #11

9 times out of 10 it’s me on that bad side of that…they block my shots, use me as a meat shield, run away as I die, then come in and finish the guy off or get killed because they’re a complete scrub.

Ayyy LifeupOmega I remember seeing you ona EU server a couple of months ago,on Chapel.Playing Fragger with the BR-16 if I remember correctly.Also I remember the fact that you were getting a bit salty but thats ok.


(LifeupOmega) #13

I get salty a lot, but I don’t use the BR on Fragger, I use M4 and Drilled.
