February 23, 200620 yr There seems to be a difference of opinion concerning the new server CVAR that enables/disables claymore and landmine Friendly Fire (FF). What would you like to see on the Armory server FF on or FF off?
February 23, 200620 yr Author Freindly Fire off provides players with an unfair advantage by allowing them to create a "forcefield" around unatteneded flags (or any object for that matter) without the worry of receiving teamkills. For example, the claymores are left on the other side of one of the broken fences. His team members can walk through without setting them off, but the enemy (and his squad) gets blown to bits. Not fair in my eyes anyway. I feel the new CVAR signifcantly and creates an environment that encourages the "overuse" of the Sniper skill. A larger than normal number of players have chosen to be snipers with the recent release of the new patch, so now they just lay down claymores anywhere ...anytime. Personally, I say "No" to FF "Off" It's your server, so vote aways. Please feel free to comment.
February 23, 200620 yr It is a nice feature to have FF off, but due to the numerous spamming has and will accur in the future it's best to have it ON.
February 23, 200620 yr well seeing how you made a poll,i vote yes i'd like ff off on clay/mines.but not 'till the new fix to the new patch cuz then it will limit the amount of clays 1 can have,and i beleive that may have an impact on the amount of people laying them everywhere.But i too agree that if everyone becomes snipers and lays serveral clays down that can only hurt the other team it is a bit unfair.
February 24, 200620 yr yeah, afterall it is very fair to have *[players] that will run over a teamates mines just for the joys of watching them get auto-kicked. Also a funny thing to switch to that Sniper team that's been nailing you from his perch, just to switch teams and pop his clays to kick him.. Very fair indeed. Especially since you can easily avoid them, even moreso if you're under fire or just hauling ass to get behind enemy lines.. *Edit, not the greatest of words Mister. -SS6
February 24, 200620 yr i accidently voted FF off, but i meant to vote FF on. i like watching people die to their own mines
February 24, 200620 yr I know I don't play as much as I would like too but when I do I'm use too "FF" being on and I had no idea it was off, so when I'm playing I play as carefully as I can knowing the "FF" could be on because you never know So I guess we keep it on since that's what we are use too.
February 24, 200620 yr I would like to be the first to say.... LET THE TEAMKILLING BEGIN!!!!!!!! *cough*flip*cough* i vote FF On...
February 24, 200620 yr Remember the spam in the Fa glory days? Who in there right mind wants tat back on in a new game on a bigger scale?
February 24, 200620 yr i can see the FF off for landmines... great for defense, as long as they are capped at 4 like i think they still are now. as for claymores .. no FF should stay on for those they are only motion sensors... your sposed to set them up for keeping people from sneakin up on your rear, or the "OMG runaway!!" panic run landmines only because they can be set up defensivly, and for some reason i get punished every single time somoen runs over mine lol
February 24, 200620 yr I would prefer ff on, less unfair claymore techniques. Its like putting c4 down and waiting for it to go neutral and blowing it. Except you dont need to pay attention and it kills them before they can cap it.
February 24, 200620 yr BUT its not C4 we're talking about which can do ALOT more damage than a clay which can only kill one to two people, not a tank. One thing I'd say about planting clays on flag though, I wish you could take em out with nades. It'd be better then. it would be nice... would also be nice if mines didn't show up to enemy vehicles lol now that would be fun
February 24, 200620 yr I vote to keep FF on. although i would like to see the punish gone. i mean when someone runs around the corner, its shoot first, ask questions later.
February 24, 200620 yr i cant stand FF... it makes me too hesitant. i will PURPOSELY not shoot an enemy if hes infront of me and theres an ally shooting him thats strafing around him, for fear of teamkilling. thats why i hate FF, makes me play a lot slower.

February 25, 200620 yr Believe me you don't want to see this kind of thing happening all the time. Oh ya, claypwned. /monthly_06_2011/post-582-130810180635_thumb.jpg

That's the problem Hogan has, I know, he has killed me when we are on the same side. And when you get spooked by someone you just start to shoot because you're not sure until it's too late.
