Friendly fire of during the warm-up

Postby Smadje » Wed Apr 01, 2009 16:11

Everyone knows it, during warm up its ok to have a bit tk's etc. The problem is that the mindless ppl in PS#1 ( yeh quite a lot) dont realize that the warm up is over and tk/tb half the team with the panzer, flamer etc.

Is it possible to disable FF in the warm-up so we can have a normal start in each map? Or do you think that because of FF off in warm-up ppl think that FF during the "real" game also is disabled.

plz dont spam this topic under with useless reply's as: Yeh thats true, indeed much tk, because we already know that.

No keep it on.

I got killed like that with the Panza Team Ludacris kill a few times and i dont even know Who it was or when it was,
just a matter of forgive and forget and Move on in the next time you will respawn. ;)

yeah it should be on cause after a map where you've been tk'd like 10 times. wich for some reason happens to me alot :(

Then it's nice to tk the ones who tk'd you so many times if he want's to walk outside of the spwn.

The fact that some people don't pay enough attention when warmup is over u just have to warn them and it happens sometimes that's just the game Smadje, u know that ^^

I do, but since the real game hasnt begun in warm-up i think it is better to hold players calm. I dont c the reason why everyone should kill there teammates, its also causing much laggs all those explosions and shooting in one area and sometimes pc's cant have that... (like mine)

HEhe ;) weren't you the one who was getting a new laptop soon? :P
anyways it sux if it causes lags. But disabling FF at warmup doesn't help that. They can still shoot with zooka and flamer though they can't hit anyone. You can never make everyone stop shooting at warmup else it has no use except for new players and new maps to give them time to download.

rly tought u alrdy know it by now smadje

we know this issue problem on ps1,
but to disable ff no srry.
and iam not the only 1 who are agree with me i guess.
as bow told earler here in past FF keep as it is and thats that.
its make the game more realistic and ofc some peeps tk or tb alot but in real war u dont have friendly fire aswell :) u know what i mean.


i say lets keep all, as it is now.

Ehm, Evil he's talking about the warm-up damage (friendly fire) not the overall damage.

Warm-up damage is controlled by a separate CVAR so it's possible to turn it on or off without any other consequences.

I feel the same way, I think i even started a same sort of thread :P
Best thing to do is to spawn in a different location really. If you go out the front way with everyone else...
    you will get pushed about
    get hit by some random throwing knife
    blown up by airstrike and mortar spam (you know they love to target spawn)
    shot down by blood-thirsty rambo medic who things first blood makes them awesome and super special :roll:

Nothing you can do about panzer kills at the very start but at least they don't happen all that often. I would love to swear at them for being stupid but hey...stupid 'no insulting' rule :P
Even pressing L and waiting in limbo till game starts can take away the noisy explosions (make sure the objective window is looking at an out of the way command post instead of a tank)

You can still practice you aim on people during warmup; now you can actually run around the map without some fool killing you for fun.
Keep this please :3

Imho friendly-fire in warm-up should be on again; Ill explain you why.

When you start the map as medic, and you want to go Soldier with mortar/panza, you select it in Limbo. BUT, if you're poisoned, you can't confirm you have got the weapon as you can't kill yourself. SO, someone else that is not poisoned could take that weapon you wanted so much & kill himself to confirm he has got it.

Yeah.. Can't explain very well; just try to understand. : o)

Afaik by choosing limited weapon you reserve it, so nobody else can choose it. The only problem with this is !shuffle, cause then system decides who will have given weapon.

Just to add, most funny is to take flamer as medic, and drop it in the middle of fight cause some teammate picked it as weapon :)

Cant we all just get along? :party:

If you select panzer, it should say so on screen but I'd think it does reserve it for you.

thats normaly at some maps,

those weapons are blocked.

but i should keep it that limit just 1 per team.

relize what u got at map goldrush with 2 or 3 mortars its just crazy and axis have no chance to get out spawn eighter.


about the ontopic,

i rly like this warmup and i suggest to keep it that way in future. if posible.
