Re: Idea to stop tking for jets
This thread is a good one with both sides of the issue.
I joined a public server recently and was first to get a jet. No problem. No one was really nearby anyways. During take off one person throws himself under the wheels and then punishes me for the Tk.
The next few minutes on the server was more of the same. I decided to remove myself from the game because 1- The TK punishes benefits the one who wishes to damage a player by creating a negative score against that person and 2- Tking for Jets and or creating situations where a Jet must runover some one or a group to take off is NOT what gaming is about.
I propose we either create a pilot class, establish new code to punish the person who intentionally causes a TK such as being in front of a plane in the process of taking off or using a sniper rifle to murder a teammate who had a equal chance of taking an asset like the Jet.
I doubt that such activites will stop anytime soon as people will show a bad side of wanting to hurt a teammates score or actually work against a team's efforts to win against a opposite team in a game.
Since the 1.2 patch, ALOT of people DO back off from whoever has the jet to give him or her free access to the runway without any Tk's those are the people you want to play with.
