Solution to injustified punishes

[dashizller91]

First post so I hope it's a good one...

Many people, including myself, get angered when they're wrongfully punished for claymores, mines, or idiots behind their vehicle. But if you think about it, you've probably been one of the punishers as well. It's usually not anything malicious in the punishes, just unawareness. For example, if you've been victim to an errant grenade or a claymore in the middle of a hill, you instinctively look in the top left corner to see how you died. The only thing you see is "Clumsy[teamkills]dashizller91". That leaves you thinking that it was a purposeful teamkill. The solution to this would be to delay the "choice" of punish or forgive for a few seconds so the "killed" can think about what happened. Also, in the top left corner, it should read "clumsy[tk:claymore]dashizller91" so people know what exactly happened. Most players in BF2 know that being sniper and using claymores is a serious risk to your teamwork score, so people would read that message and, if they're not malicious or sadistic, forgive. Although there are many not so kind people out there, this would greatly reduce the wrongful punishings.

You expect the insta-punish n00bs to care? They'll punish no matter what.

Re: Solution to injustified punishes

people are assholes. they are going to punish. never count on moral to fix this. most people who instantly punish would just read clumsy[tk:claymore]dashizller91 and say "he shoudl be putting his ****ing claymore's there", and then instantly punish. so.. yea.

Re: Solution to injustified punishes

I as well hate being punished for someone else's stupidity, but i have to come to accept that as a fact of the game and the only solution is for me to change my game play. You would never in a million years be able to change the "N00B Insta-Punish" people.

Re: Solution to injustified punishes

How about introducing a maximum of allowed "punish tickets per round".

I mean, really how many teamkills are on purpuse?

For example you may only give 3 punish per round. Thats -12 points.
That would stop airplan/helo/tank campers from anoying us normal players to much.

If you take it a bit futher, pressing for the 4:th punish, yourself would be automaticlly punished instead.

Just a tought.

How about if you punish more than 3 people in a row without waiting at least 15 seconds for an apology then EA come round to your house and insert that shiny Battlefield 2 disc in your a$$.

Re: Solution to injustified punishes

It is set to punish, people have to hit the page key to forgive, normally some are to lazy to hit the button or dont care!

The solution is to set it to forgive and you have to hit the a key to punish!

Re: Solution to injustified punishes

I've been guilty of being so into the game that I don't realize that I've been tked and ignore the message at the bottom and by default punish people. It should be defaulted to not punish people.

Re: Solution to injustified punishes

Most of the time I forgive , I only punish when it is a blatant TK such as when you're running for a vehicle and the muppet shoots you because he wants it .... I also find that "sorry" goes a long way but you'll always get the muppets who punish straight away without thinking about it like when you blow a jeep at a flag and they run in only for the jeep to complete it's own destruction and you get a TK or the wonderful stingers do their 360 and hit a friendly .... my attitude ,,, I just don't care anymore .... if they punish , let them , they're just scared in case you get a higher score than them ... ... the "auto-forgive - push to punish idea" is great but will EA/Dice think about this in patch 1.03 ... I think not ... it requires too much common sense ..(is this me being cynical?)

Re: Solution to injustified punishes

Should be a server option. Like FF OFF. I know it has been said but FF really isn't required:)

Re: Solution to injustified punishes

Punish should be removed from the game......You already lose points for the kill anyway. Why should it be multiplied?

Re: Solution to injustified punishes

just my thoughts:

- auto-forgive if you don´t choose anything
- the punish/forgive option av. after 10sec.
- Teamkill (forgive) -1 Point
- Teamkill (punish) -5 Points
- 5 punish tickets/round and player
- maybe a server option: if you TK the same Player more than 5 times/round = kick
