Do claymores TK in Patch 1.21.

Re: claymores

It's just like before. if the server has FF of for AT mines and claymores then yes, you will get a tk for them.

It seems that the server patch has FF off by default for AT mines and claymores but this can easily be changed by the server admin by adjusting the variable in my sig.

Re: claymores

No but you can only plant 2 instead of 4.

Re: claymores

Do to all the complaints about claymores they did drop the max deployed from 5 to 2 (which was a good thing IMHO), but they also advised ranked servers to run with the FF set to off for mines and claymores but still leaving it a server-side option.

Battlefield Ranked Server Rules & Policies

Though it is not required, we also request that all servers run Friendly Fire at 100% for all settings, including mines (sv.friendlyFireWithMines).

So after 1.2, every server had FF set to on for AT mines and claymores because that's one of the things the patch did and after 1.21, every server has it now set to OFF.
It may take some time before adminds realise that it's changed so be careful with those mine :)

Re: claymores

I think you have that backwards...FF is now ON again, right?

I hope so!

Re: claymores

Yeah sorry :)

FF is off now by default but I'm guessing that now snipers can only place 2 claymores that admins will be happy with this and put the 'sv.friendlyFireWithMines' setting back to 0 so engineers don't get kicked from servers as was the case pre 1.2

Re: claymores

Again:

IT IS A SERVER OPTION WHETHER OR NOT TK IS ON FOR CLAYMORES!

The option was given in 1.2 and it is suggested by EA that you put TK on. However, I doubt most servers will.

Ok now you are really confusing me becase you agreed that FF is ON then in the next line say it's OFF.

My understanding that "friendly fire" = you can damage your teammates so when someone says "FF is ON" that means damage to teammates is enabled. Is this correct?

They always have.

Re: claymores

Yeah I'm confusing myself too. 30 minutes before I finish work for the weekend and I can't think straight :)

If you log onto a 1.21 server right now that an admin hasn't modified in anyway then claymores will result in tk's. The server admin has to manually adjust a switch (sv.friendlyFireWithMines) to majke claymores safe from friendlies.

So you're right. FF on means that damage to teammates is enabled which is the default setting for 1.21 servers (or so it seems).
