Why no team damage?

Atleast add team damage to ranked matches.

Play pugs and competitive (not the ranked matches) when DirtyCups comes back or with DBNation assuming they use FF too.

If you add FF in competitive matches, there’s gonna be alot of trolls and rages. I believe there will be like what LifeupOmega said, it will be in competitive events.

Griefing = temp ban from MM. More griefing = longer ban. Simple.

Dirty Bomb isn’t the sort of game where team-damage would really work, to be honest. Just my opinion… I honestly don’t think it would work due to the fast-paced nature of the game.

However, one funny thing that happened to me earlier… (may be a bug, not sure XD) I threw a sticky bomb as Fletcher. Guy 1 on the enemy team shot and killed me, then Guy 2 on the enemy team shot the sticky bomb that was still flying through the air and it exploded in Guy 1’s face, killing him. In the kill log it said “Guy 2” killed “Guy 1” with a Fletcher bomb xD

Technical team kill? c: Either way, bug or not, made me giggle x3

There was team damage in RTCW and ET. It worked fine. Now you can just throw couple of airstrikes or nades to objective and your teammates can rush in.

I’m all for adding FF to Dirty Bomb.

It would make airstrikes and all the other explosives much more balanced. Right now you can just spam them with complete impunity.

Oh boy I would be the first one to intentionally run in your shots so you get banned for TKs.

I would love to see explosives friendly fire at the very least as a server option.
It would definitely be interesting to see how different the game would play if Nader, Fragger, Skyhammer, Fletcher, Proxy, Kira & Arty’s abilities could kill teammates as well.

Friendly bullets would be cool.

But friendly fire explosives? Please no. This would slow the game to a crawl. If you played with someone who doesn’t listen, they could run into your airstrike. Then who gets banned?

(Yes) #11

Yes, let me kill all the Aura’s that decide to stand right in front of me when I’m about to throw my sticky bombs.

Part of me wants to say I’d love ff in Dirty Bomb, but that’s just because I used to be a huge player of RTCW. When one of my friends and I first tried out DB, we both commented on how it’d probably be a lot less spammy if they had ff.

Looking back, now that I’ve got quite a lot more experience and perspective, I don’t think ff would be a healthy thing for DB. RTCW had a lot less explosive spam and not such low hp characters (nothing like proxy, aura, sparks, etc.). Plus trolls are rampant and there’s no in-game reporting system.

And this sort of thing. A lot of people are downright stupid and just run in front of teammates firing, blocking all their shots, never thinking to crouch or take a different position. It’d just get infinitely worse if you’d end up killing them for it instead.

all those sparks tk’s because people are running in front of her, i can hear the tears already

(N8o) #14

Hear tears

There should be both servers with and without team damage, it would make the game far more interesting, it worked and was preferred by the large majority in RTCW and ET. Picture fragger priming his nade and getting killed instead with it falling to the ground in the middle of his team. Yes team damage would be great fun indeed and I think would easily become the preferred servers. TK abuse is easily dealt with by vote kick and auto kick if it goes above say 5 tks in 5 mins.

FF is horrible, it will end up in people team killing. Because someone accidentally shot another and then the insulted player has to take revenge on the player. And obviously, you have trolls that keep killing team mates.

(RenLou) #17

Anyone going against FF in competitive must have not played other shooters with FF. There are many ways around griefing/TKs. No big deal at ALL

(Jan S.) #18

I’m OK with it, but it really needs to be server option, because not everyone wants to play with FF. And explosives - they should deal no or reduced damage to friendlies. Sometimes mistake can happen with for example Skyhammer and the whole team would be doomed xD

(IJs) #19

I support friendly fire, in whatever way it is implemented. I’ve been hoping to find servers where I can get used to friendly fire because I’m developing terrible habits on the public servers; the friend I frequently play with would love to have those grenades blow me up a few times to teach me a lesson so they stop bouncing back in his face.

(MarsRover) #20

FF in an fast, explosive-heavy game with almost zero voicechat, where 95% new players play Skyhammer, who could wipe the entire team in one airstrike. It’s an absolutely terrible idea.

Tournaments etc. - do whatever you like. But pubs and normal competitive - please no.

No chance in hell.

Just like cheaters and afkers are dealt with now, right? :neutral:
