What if we just turned off friendly fire all together?

[Alti]

Or at least gave admins of ranked servers the option. To me it's become more trouble than its worth.

[lcplsickoll]

My only problem with this option is the fact that all flag/base entrances would be mined to Holy Hell. It'd be nearly impossible to get a tank/apc in to capture a flag. Also you could just send all your teammates to a point, and the commander could arty the crap out of it without having to think.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

what he said.

[Brian]

Get rid of the punish system, keep the 3 TK and you are gone rule.

[IHateYou]

Wish there was a way to just turn off friendly fire from rifles and vehicles... Teammates stupid enough to drive over your mines still need to get blown up. And without arty harming the teammates, it would be too powerful and, quite frankly, unrealistic.

[glasseye]

when TK is off, do friendlies stop bullets?
if not you could just have one medic in front and a ton of others behind him shooting through him.

The Chicago Frag Fest server has FF off.

The Chicago Frag Fest server has FF off.

And it was the nicest, friendliest least frustrating server ever.

[D3athOm3n]

FF off would be nice, getting my self blown up by friendly claymores aint fun...lol

[Lt. Falco]

It would alter the game greatly, plus less realistic. Lol, nvm this is an arcade anyways...

[lcplsickoll]

You cant rank with ff off can you?

[imported_xRandoMx]

I'd rather they tweak the system so that FF accidents were far less likely. As far as vehicles go, most FF incidents are caused by the game, or by accident.

Names not showing up until after you fire is a big one for pilots.
Names showing up as the *wrong* color is a big one for everybody.
The extreme sensitivity and related damage of the collision system is another one.

I prefer FF in my games, but I also prefer a game that doesn't make FF almost inevitable, as well as the follow-on punishment.

There are too many chokepoints in this game where a grenade spam squad supported by a supply guy could completely lock down a route if there wasn't any FF, imho.

[Gorillastein]

They would have to change the name from Battlefield 2, to something like Grenade Spammer 2.

[WeeeOooO]

........Grenades do jack damage against a tank and hardly nothing against an APC (unless its the M203, and then its still pretty small)

Why don't we add psycho-kenetic kill abilities, laser weapons, and beaming technology to the game. That way all of the realism will be gone. Let's just give you the ability to spray into a crowd and only kill the baddies, that is just retarded!
