If your side still has a chance, your commander won't want to waste tickets smoking friendlies because that 2x bonus for winning is nice. However, abuse might start once a loss is inevitable.

There's pros and cons. Blind full jeep drivers are really annoying when they give you massive negative points.

I'm reposting this from a sub-thread.....
Right now, I think most of you guys are right stupid players not getting out of the way. However give it two months, and after ZERO consequinces time and time again, the commanders will start abitrarily artying in some more of the populated areas, with the attitude of...."Hey.....you saw the arty coming.....get out of the way.....your fault...."
Mark THOSE words. I got an idea.......
How about....people already in the area have the choice to punish, boneheads that run into it after the circles show up on the map don't have the choice.
Commander will still not deserve some puishing now and then, but it's closer....anyone??

I still think its a poorly implemented idea, but is done for the right reason. What they ought to have done is make Arty strikes TK free IF there are enemy kills from the Arty strike. If the only casualties are all friendlies, then the TKs should count. Does that sound better ?

They should just make it so that if a commander designates an arty area, any friendly that was in that area allredy which the commander could see by looking at his radar and are killed count as Tk's. but any friendly that ran in to that area after the arty strike was allready placed will get killed but the commander won't get any tk's.

For example if I'm a sniper and I'm sitting still and the commandr puts an arty strike above my head and I get killed he gets punished. But if he designates and arty area, and I run in to that area after it's designated, then if I get killed he does not get a TK.

Which means that commanders that put arty on friendlies on purpose will get punished and the ones that don't will not get punished.

This will be funny, now you will have commanders who don't give a **** if their own teammates are standing there when they send in arty strikes

Its always the players fault for running into it. There's plenty of warning to run away.

not always, sometimes the "artillery, your area" is silenced because of all the other radio commands going on, and the average player doesnt look at his minimap every 5 seconds. i think there should be an onscreen warning or a 3d map warning.

Re: WTF, &quot;Commander scoring - No more TKs from Artillery&quot; in 1.03 patch!!!

The arty comes up on the mini map anyway, If players are stupid enough to run into it they should not be punishing the commander for it when its there own fault, They take there own risk by entering a site that has had arty placed at its location, so i say YAY! for the new patch

Re: WTF, &quot;Commander scoring - No more TKs from Artillery&quot; in 1.03 patch!!!

i think this is a good thing, IF the commander is played properly. i once sent in arty on a base were all i could see was red dots, i send in arty i take out like 30 enimies but somehow i also got like 10 TKs so it eavined out as 0 points for me and a warning from a admin -.-

This "fixes" the problem where people OUTSIDE the artillery strike can't punish the commander when they enter it, but what this created was a new problem:

Commanders dropping artillery while we're inside the area-of-effect...

I think if you're outside when the artillery strike occurs and you walk in, YOU take the death, otherwise the commander should be punished if he drops on top of friendlies who are inside the area-of-effect.

Re: WTF, &quot;Commander scoring - No more TKs from Artillery&quot; in 1.03 patch!!!

Yeah i get sick off people who run into arty when it a BIG RED SYMBOL! on the mini map and then they decide to punish you for it, its very unfair and i think this new patch will be good but will make it unreal for me which is a disappointment

[<{AU}>Westy]

Re: WTF, &quot;Commander scoring - No more TKs from Artillery&quot; in 1.03 patch!!!

Yeah the area-of-effect is one that troubles me, because i think that if the commander drops arty on friendly then thats not very realistic and very beneficial for the game, mainly because it makes it unreal. Maybe they should just disable the whole punish thing, kinda gets annoying after a while, and people just say yes for the hell of it now just so they can drop people up the top and so they can place themselves further up the list
