Let's clear this up with a poll ---> RDX hopping.

[KurlonT]

BTW if the server was set at 50% for FF this would be the damage of RDX and grenades to friendlies:

RDX @ point blank = 37 damage
Grenade @ point blank = 35 damage

Of course the further you get away the less blast damage but it would take 3 RDX or Grenades @ point blank range to cause a suicide/TK.

Not sure if you can set the other FF server options to different values (had trouble getting values that were all different to stick) but once they are not all 100 it will read FF as being OFF.

FF on would ruin a successful titan assault, as RDX does the most damage, and for some reason, it covers the entire core room. I'll be just walking in and find myself getting blown to the top by friendly RDX.



I don't care if EA or DICE fixes it, I just don't think it should be allowed here on Cains Lair. It ruins most players fun, and sorry to say but there are only so many vehicles, and not everyone likes vehicles, so that doesn't really protect us.

As someone who hates getting RDX hopped/rammed/jihad jeeped, I'd rather suffer through that than have FF on. If I'm going to get blown up, I'd rather have it done by enemy RDX than the team mate behind me who really wants to drive an APC.

lol.... i cant tell you how many hours i use to spend at airfield in bf2 just watching to keep people from tk`ing for jets. I even got tk`ed because people wanted revenge and i was just watching (wasnt even trying to gfet the jet).

Yep the life of the BF2 admin on Wake...

For now, it is part of the game.

The Stats leaders, some of them anyway, are RDX bunny hoppers. That is ALL they do. Why? Tons of cheap kills, points, stats. They have macro'd the entire sequence, So they are podding and dropping RDX and detonating in one move, almost before they land. Campers dead. Good tactic?

Any kind of lag, and the bunny hoppers rule.
(Or really just about anywhere, lag or no lag)

Why?
They aren't aiming a gun, blast area is huge, bunny hopping messes up the hit box so they are harder to kill. (Like dolphin diving in BF2) Release and detonate, and your target(s) are dead. They just have to be in the general area. Not much skill involved, except hitting the space bar and their macro key.

Lag plays havoc with people using a weapon as intended. 1 little freeze frame/lag, and you are shooting an empty wall inside the TiTan instead of the bunny hopping whore. They get within 10 meters, hit the macro, and you die. L33T player.

Rinse and repeat, and repeat, and repeat.

Some other bunny hopping tactics against armor that I won't get into, but it irks me to see them floating down from 20 feet up after killing the armor.

This is an "EXPLOIT", and as such, it is play that was NOT designed for by EA/Dice. It makes people mad, which makes the RBH an asshat in many people's minds. It makes people leave the server mad enough to punch through walls. They might not be back, which is NOT what Cain wants. People want a Fair Fight. Using an exploit is NOT a fair fight.

If people have a bad experience on the server, they MIGHT come back, or they never WILL come back because they were so distraught. Good people leaving means lower server count, which is a bad thing. A bad reputation blasted on the 2142 forums about our servers is a bad thing. Enough good people leave because of perceived "Asshat" play, and all that will remain is the RBH's, Transport rammers, Hackers, and the RDX FAV's. You can just see them running around the map ramming or blowing each other up. OHHH what fun.

Remember, people see our Tags, and expect MORE from us than lame exploitive game play. There are certain clan/tags that have a poor or even a horrible reputation. (Asshats, exploiters, hacks?, abusive admins) I certainly don't want the {CLR} tag to fall into that category, as it is and has been well respected across the entire BF series of games.
(And other games also)

By all means, if you want to be a bunny hopping RDX maniac, there are many servers that allow it. (And many that ban for it) Take your tags off and go have fun THERE. Come back when you want to fight mano-a-mano. (IMO) Or use the Recon class as intended, as people such as BKnight are VERY effective using the kit, and don't resort to tactics guaranteed to make people's blood pressure soar.

Love transport ramming? 2142 forums are full of people who talk about where they play and dedicate themselves to Transport ramming. GO THERE if that's what kick starts your motor. Come back when you want to use the transport as intended, or the famous "Transport of DOOM".

Love to Base rape the uncap on conquest? Some servers are free-for-all's, anything goes. GO THERE, but take the tags off.
Come back when you want to be an upstanding and valued member of the community, and wear the {CLR} tag proudly.

Wearing the {CLR} tag has certain obligations attached. It doesn't mean you "OWN" everyone, or have 3 million kills to wear the tag. It means people look up to you, and want to imitate you. Fair play, good squad mates, and a willingness to have fun are the trademarks.

If there way a way to simply have the RDX do self damage and no damage to other teammates, then that would solve the problem. But this would require a mod, and I doubt it will ever happen.

[Jimmy Jammer]

I have not looked but there may be a self splash damage setting in the CC...JJ

[Aidan]

No biggie. Its in the game. Just have a good time!

Either that or put team damage on
