Hi guys / gals, I haven't played it for years, and I am a much better aim than I was back then, but what do you peeps think of putting a percentage of friendly fire into one of the CTF servers, or maybe on an IG ctf server?
Might be really crap - just thought it might make an interesting change though....
Obviously might cause lots of problems and stress in a public situation, just a thought - any opinions?

Friendly Fire IMHO should only be kept for Subscribers server (so the can turn it off and on) and also league matches.
...that and 1v1 server :P

ah so do you guys play around with it already?
I agree it could / would get out of hand in a public situation- just thought it'd fun to have a no-spam game with NW and IG too.
If you learned how to play it well like the way some people have adjusted to mods like SLV it would be awesome, a lot more instant-hit weapons would have to be used, the tactiics with flag-carrying and flag covering would need to be really different. Just a thought....
Combine it with SLV, it would illiminate SLV defending / spamming.
FF turned on would be great for 'real' matches, with two teams that know what they're doing, but you almost never have that on public servers.
On public servers it will get out of hand, cos there will always be players spamming. The spam won't hurt themself, but only their teammates. There's an idea for a mod! If you hit a teammate, you lose health yourself :D. Too many players on public server that don't really know what they're doing or how to use certain weapons. It will only hurt the players that try the best to play like it should.

my good friend ss bomber asked me to highlight a mod. (which i forgot to :oops: ) if you shoot your own team you lose life (this life is given to the person you shoot.) it is fully customisable.
. illiminates piston camping as own team mate through portal would kill the camper
. stops team killing
. stops spamming
not suitable for slv i dont think but possibly crap n ghey?
if this is of any interest i can get the mod or give a demonstration on ss bombers own server. you know where i am if u want me :wink:

IMHO putting FF on a pub server is like playing iCTF with bots; they will kill you more than the opposing team!!
As Lardy states, tactics would have to be changed greatly, to avoid friendly kills from spammers and peeps who are colour blind :D

FF-on in CTF-matches? Not a good idea... I would need a say-"Sorry!"-bot or bind, and stress would be inevitable.

If this mod works, PLEASE can we get it installed?
Ok, lets not have ff on all the time, but certainly on some TDM servers it would be great, and on CnG I agree it would make the play interesting.
lol, so if you shoot a teamplayer you lose health and that teamplayer gets extra health. nice way to boost your teammates up to 199 health :D just need one player to sacrifice himself

Good point :(
I misread it - thought it would just be you losing health. Davis said it's fuly configurable though.

ill get this mod and see how "customisable" it is.
any admin interest?
Not on instagib! I often push my teammates around towards the flag :p it gets them out of gun fire :)

No spam? Buh... Buh...
Seriously, I think a FF=0 pub server = empty server. Could be wrong, but I wouldn't enjoy being killed by my own team every other life.
