Commander should be punished for TK bring it back?

Re: Commander should be punished for TK bring it back?

No, i think they should leave it as it is
When i'm commanding, i give orders, eg when i tell a squad to attack a flag, and there are people there i arty it first, sometimes the squads wait, sometimes they dont, but i alway say sorry.
my point is, all of my arty TK's are accidents, if some r3tard drives an full APC or blackhawk into an arty zone when its fireing, i dont want to be punished for every one, because everyone knows almost everyone in bf2 punnishes.
I can honestly say i dont, unless its on purpose.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I think you must only play on unranked servers where friendly-fire is disabled if you think that.

Nope, I only play ranked servers, and I've run into my teams artillary many times, with a group of soldiers and I've had sells land right beside us and no damage. Since they are ranked, they have to be FF enabled.

i thought one of the patches took the damage out from the artillary.... i could be wrong, but I've never gotten killed by team artillary since the patch with wake island 2007

Steve,

There is no way you can punish the commader if he artys you. Sorry dude but this is FOR SURE! However, if the commander artys near u and say hits a vodnik and it explodes killing you then you can have the option of punishing the commander cause the game can not distinguish betwen those kind of kills (Does not happen to often).

And BTW ranked server can have friendly fire enabled or disabled. Its a server option and arty does hurt you if FF is enabled.

I know that you can't punish commander... I said I've been TK in almost every server once and you get the thing to punish... it was a joke.

Well, it's settled, if you want to punish your commander... stay next to a car!

No way, the red artillery circle is there for a reason

I mean c'mon, how hard is it to look at the radar when you hear it called. If you get killed by your own arty then its YOUR fault not the commanders. Maybe the commander nailed that location for arty because it was over run with the enemy or the enemy was capping it, then soldiers moved in to take it and now he can't take back the arty. so GTFO of the area. I have only been killed by my commanders arty a few times and each time it was because I didn't leave the area. each time it was my fault.

In a fire fight you can't always look at the minimap to see what a dumb commander is doing. I played some SF recently and the commander was getting 4 to 1 ratios for our guys and theirs with artillery. I finally told him if he artilleried my position again I'd knife him. Suddenly he got much better at the artillery and proceeded to call it on flags that didn't have all our guys around it.

They shouldn't get minus points for every teamkill, though they should get kicked like any other if they make more than 5 teamkills.

Re: Commander should be punished for TK bring it back?

dumbest poll ever, and the 2:1 ratio against it validates my opinion.

I generally ONLY CO in VoIP servers. When I a lot of action going on, or a flag fixing to be taken, I'll drop the arty. But its more than just clicking and hoping..

1. Click on the arty icon.
2. Right click on all squads in the area "artillery, your area"
3. Type in teamsay "arty @ hotel, clear out" (in yellow, they should see it).
4. Follow that up with VoIP "Arty at hotel, stay clear".

Despite all of that i STILL get TK's. No, not as many as CO's that don't go through that work. But to imply I should be punished after going through all of that is ludicrous. The infantry's greed over those last few kills keeps them in the area too long -- its not the CO's fault.

I won't say that at times CO's make bad decisions on arty. But to have a CO do everything else asked of them the entire mapside and to roll out the punishes for 1 bad arty strike just doesn't make sense. Maps can be won/lost based off of a good CO.
