Friendly Fire

I'm really thinking about turning FF on....

Thoughts ???

I was playing on a FF on server a few weeks ago and I had a great time. Adds a whole new dimension to how you play, from spamming of nades to spraying of MGs. You had to be very careful.

Not sure how the DOD:S fans are slotted...FF or non FF and if a change would impact the current player base.

I do see a good number of people coming on and checking if FF is on, so they wouldn't be caught by surprise.

Having FF on brings up some new problems though... team kills, team punish and active admins.
I think we have enough active admins playing to help police a FF server.

The server I played on did not have any punishing for TKs. They relied on the players playing to complain about intentional stuff going on. You can tell when someone was killed by a dead nade vs team killed for no reason.

COD4 has a built in "Reflect Damage" which works fantastically well. HL2 has no such setting.

I'm looking around for some type of TK manage plugin and I'll ask other Admins what they do.

I like FF on but, most Pubs do not use it. The match Tuesday will require FF on.

I like it on, it adds a whole new mindset to the game. It takes away the "run and gun" aspect and turns it into more of a teamwork style of game-play, which in my opinion is far more fun then just running around the map and trying to kill as many people as possible.

Just my two cents...

Some CS:S servers with FF on had a mod that allowed you to do various things back to your opponent which was kinda fun.

- slap them down to 1 health
- insta slay them start of next round
- put a beacon on them
- freeze them
- burn them and make them really slow
- steal money from them
- forgive

I have always liked FF on. The next best is the reflect option thats on the COD games.

Should be fun !!

Let me know any changes to the ATAC plugin you guys might like to see...

[DougBob]

I like it on myself. Helps weed out the mindless shooting and nadeing. Notice I said nade and not nad Cain

Not to jinx anything, but i hope this new FF addon isn't what crashed the server.

[Cain]

I'm certain it was, but it has a zilion settings I'll keep tweaking...

I've got to say, it was really funny when the first thing I hear after joining up tonight is Jeffro yelling "NONONO Rand don't go in there!" right before his nade went off.
