Team Damage?

[tirangord]

This is a poll to see who prefers team damage on as to team damage off. I personally can play on both

[Premonition]

The number 1 thing that players hate and consider asshatting is teamkilling.

Ive been called everything from noob to ...umm lets just say some really colorful words just for tk`ing by accident (and im a admin, but that didnt stop people from name calling). But tk`s lead to revenge tk`s.
In bf2 tk`ing for vehicles was unbelievable.
Then you have the force tk`s to try and get people kicked for getting a vehicle.

I dont think any rule we have ever had has impacted so many players as when ff was on. It seemed to bring out the worst in people.

Im just mentioning it as a example of how it effects players. Because a lot of times its easy to see 1 issue and see a fix. But not see the bigger picture that is effected by that fix.

One of the best things in 2142 that people loved about it was the fact you could pretty much do away with teamkilling by turning off FF.

Im sure any engy from the bf2 days has war stories of placing a mine and a jeep full of people go riding over it 2 secs after you drop it. Everyone punishs you for tk`ing and you get kicked.

I like to have team damage on. It raises the bar for the game and makes it a bit more challenging because you have to think before you shoot. the TKing part is a bit of a problem as far as admining goes. THE best option I have seen for team damage was in COD2 (I think) where there was reflect damage. If you shot a friendly he would not be damaged but instead you would receive the damage. No TKs but you still had the challenge of thinking before shooting.

Now thats an interesting FF. That would reduce more accidental TKs and purpose TKs.

I like Team damage on because its more realistic. Some servers I play on have cheap guys who demopak everyone around them...

They jump into our bases and blow us up...

What game was it that had team damage or team kills mirrored back? If you TK'd, you died as well, and the same if you took someone's health or shot their vehicle. I'd like to have that again.

Now THAT would be a great addition to the game.
The new BF2 Project Reality mod really cuts down on asshat behavior. They put alot of thought into it, and came out with a great product.

I like FF=On personally, just because it cuts down on indescriminate nade spamming, and incidently the RDX bunny hoppers that I hate with a passion. People have to actually verify the target and the surrounding area for friendlies. It also cuts down on the super duper guys that are head shooting people one after another through a crowded scrum.

Being old, I have accidently hit the punish instead of forgive when I've been TK'd by accident. You see someone totally out of control, killing their own teammates directly or indirctly, and they Should be punished.
And yes, I've seen people jump in front of a tank, apc, gunship, etc., just so that you would be punished for a TK, and hopefully kicked from the server. It isn't nearly as bad on 2142 as I've heard it being done on BF2 vanilla.
