Option to enable friendly fire!

I dont know if this option is already available.

There could be a flag to enable friendly fire in a server.
I would like to try FF in a captains game. Obviously FF is out of the question for a random game, but it could be interesting with only experienced players.

omg, finally someone had wrote about this. i have always wanted a frendly fire mode, and finally its been brought up. i think a server dedicated to frendly fire would be awesome. i just hope that it DOESN'T take over altitude where there would be a option in all the regular server like plane ball does. But ya, i support it on 1 or two servers.

if this comes through, i am DEFINETLY hosting a server with FF and if it dominated altitude, id keep my servers with no ff

lol friendly fire, bombing ur own base!? lol but seriously it would ruin this game because all the stuff we do is because we assume we can go through our teammates, next thing u know, planes can crash into each other

Who said anything about planes crashing?

What you mean by "all the stuff we do" is spamming right?

More than that. While I think friendly fire is a cool idea and something that could be tried... think for a moment about trying to attack through a choke with friendly fire on.

It's is already hard enough, and with friendly fire, the balance would sway even harder to the defending team, who can spread out around the choke to avoid hitting each other, while the attack team has to bottle into the choke.

It'd get too campy.

On the other hand, TBD isnt the only game mode. Maybe friendly fire in death match?

It would need some kind of restriction, similar to what counter-strike has with addons. If someone is simply shooting teammates they need to be removed, so something would need to be checking to ensure players are doing damage to the other teams.

This game will never work with friendly fire, don't even try.

The only way I can see this working would be to have a friendly kill give no xp and no kill-credit. As it stands now, if you kill a teammate accidentally, you gain a kill to your k/d score and all the xp you would gain if the kill had been on an enemy. Perhaps a friendly kill could even count against your ratio or xp. Also, I agree with GGQ, this would not work with TBD, and probably wouldn't be so hot in Ball either. However, tdm and 1dm would be very interesting with FF enabled. I like the idea of making it an option that can be turned on and off by a server admin.

I think the only reason you get XP and +1 kill for a teamkill right now is that it is HARD to teamkill someone. The only method I've seen is with a missile splash.

I'd like to see the bomb kill teammates/harm your base in TBD. It would require people to have a little more consideration when dumping.

i think the FF should be added as a new game mode because FF on any of the game modes (except ffa, lol jk) would be horrible. but if they do add FF it should not harm as much. FF should harm at least half of what normal fire harms right now.
