Friendly Fire

[Tom852]

Hi

I just thought about how friendly fire would affect the game(play). What do you think about it?

As we know, you hurt yourself with explosives, traps and by falling. It works quite well. I think friendly fire would work well too in the game.

It is not really hard to avoid shooting others. But you will no longer be able to shoot with your M&S without care at a foreign train spot, cause you might kill that player. Making everything bit harder and more interesting. It would also be more realistic.

I guess it would be a very small change in the gameplay, cause you normally anyway don't shoot other players. Overall, I would like it.

Now you gonna say, there will be lots of teamkilling. Might be, so what about ricochet fire?

Well ricochet fire would be unfortunate if you were trying to save your teammate. Ideally, the smart, coordinated players would be able to avoid such situations, but overall, it would make random lobbies even more stressful and aggravating. It would be a nice change of pace and would love to see it as an option in a private match.

I feel like people would abuse it if it were just standard in the game. It's a good challenge and would make a great option in private lobbies. It would also make challenges very interesting. For example, the highest round with friendly fire enabled might be significantly lower than the highest round with default settings. It's a cool idea, I love it, but the people who play the game- the majority at least- would abuse this so much and ruin many a good game.

I agree.

It's in Survival mode too.

Makes it realistic. But randoms might kill you, and so will I kill randoms when they are annoying :P

Richochet Fire, Maybe. But HELL NO to friendly fire. I can just imagine how annoyed I would be trying to revive someone and they kill me with their Ray Gun or M&S trying to cover me. I would NEVER revive anyone if there was friendly fire, just in fear that they would get me down.

Friendly fire but you lose points, simple! Down someone you lose a big bonus and thy bleed out you're score is set to zero.. or something of equal horror!

This will just bring forth many greifers from the deep of PSN and XBL and they will just keep shooting you haha.

what about Krauss Refribillator?

[Tankeo Dempsaki]

I just don't like how you have to stop firing if someone walks in front of you.

You'd have to anyway but it's still annoying.

[Superhands]

I think having friendly fire would pretty much ruin random lobbies.

Richochet fire, I guess wouldn't be so bad if you were protected from it by Flopper. I'd still rather it be left out though, I know it'd make it more realistic but who plays zombies for the realism :lol:

I selected ' Bring me a coffee', I was going to select as-is but I thought I could use some Coffee.
