Friendly fire on our DM/TDM/TAM server

I personally liked friendly fire turned (also known as "Team Damage", "Teamkiller") off on our server...
I never played any unreal game with that option enabled.
It makes me personally feel a bit ashamed and sorry when I kill my teammates...
It would be nice to hear some other comments on this.

As far as I understand,Carnage has set his server up to be as close to
the clan war servers/rules(whatever).
The idea is when }TCP{ decides to take on the world,it will at least be
prepaired.
I have played ONS with friendly fire on.
A tank sure messes things up!
Friendly fire is for pros:)

Well I can't comment on ONS, but for TAM I kinda like it switched on .... even though its more than likely to raise temperatures occasionally (vrs non TCP players). I would guess that almost everyone hits a teammate occasionally, and it could be that unfortunate person's fault rather than your own if they have jumped or dodged into your line of sight.
It forces you to consider more when you shoot, as does the limit on ammo.
Also I personally prefer the powerups off. I find they distract from the main task of killing the opposition, distaught the gameplay especially when you are down to the last two players, and they can be mistaken for enemy if you are playing as red .... but I know that Carnage and Van and others like the powerups and they are not a major problem, just a personal preference

Anyway I would like to Friendly Fire Off, coz sometimes you can kill teammate by accidental shot. Well that isn't good for all.

With FF OFF we all might just shoot each other anyway.. and take no teamdamage when the enemy is nearby and everyone is gathered...If you think of a match which has that option enabled on their server.. that wouldnt go too well...If you see two people in a duel fight you can as well shoot em both and they die

It could be annoying in matches if you kill your team mates, you only have to avoid shooting ur own ppl, we all have to adapt this and get use to it thats the way it should be played in my oppinion :O
Possibly it could improve our ways of playing.
This is a respectful clan I dont think it would be a problem having it on all you have to do is say sorry in case of a team mate's death you cause

Indeed I wished all team games had FF at 100%. I mean real soldiers don't just toss a grenade in the middle of a fighting mass either, and if you kill someone from your squad, your ass gets court martialed - and that's the way it should be.
Besides, FF is way more fun... and the lousy spammers pay the price for their folly.

OH NOEZ NO MORE TEH SPAMM!!! We are doomed... :<
"real soldiers..." If you want to feel like 'real soldier', visit nearest recrutation unit and go to Iraq.
I dont like the idea of FF - it makes the game more hard (you must watch out for friendly rockets, shock balls etc.) and its not good for ONS (levi is useless... Goliath too).

Hm, I wonder why they called it
Unreal Tournament 2004...
Unreal is unreal. And it does not even try to be realistic like Counterstrike and all those FPS do. The whole thing about jumping and weapons is not realistic.
It is a funny imagination to see soldiers do a dodge-jump and shoot in the air with a Redeemer

epic is trying to make UT2k7 more realistic, for example the dodge-jump doesnt exist in 2k7 anymore.
its better with FF anyway, who wants to play a game by instantly raining rockets and flakshells? thats no fun tbh..

i agree that ff is...just different but it shouldnt be a problem, its more like "hey i killed a team mate, so ff must be on. i'll just put it in some corner of my mind
"
ff is a nice part of training imo
the first time i played with ff i thought wtf is this for crap eh!!?!?! o.O
but its not hard to get used to, also for the spammers (lol)

spam more accuratly in the future </lol>

Well right. By the way if UT2007 will have these damn, stupid changes, so I won't even start earn cash for it.
