BFBC2 - Thoughts about Friendly Fire On in Normal Modes for BF3

Edit: Demize99 has since clarified that there was a misunderstanding and that FF will be off by default in core mode, but it will be a server option to turn on or off.

News came out yesterday that friendly fire will be turned on as the default in Battlefield 3. Here are some of my thoughts on it, and I'm curious what others think about friendly fire in non-hardcore game modes

FF on will make things interesting but the way I look at it, if I get TK'd for being a sniper than I'll make sure the TKer never ever arms or disarms a crate and/or caps a flag :)

@bharlan2002 yeah I think it being on does actually bring more depth to the game. Hopefully you won't have to deal with too many TKing dbags since you actually know how to play recon effectively, but there are plenty of other bush monsters that will be getting punished for sure.

I thought friendly fire on means it wont let you shoot your teammate?

[TyeWebb]

@OGxKushington in every situation I'm seen friendly fire on, means team damage is possible

haha...thunderpumped...a classic

[TyeWebb]

@EcentC maybe the greatest video ever made

[dave00dance]

it should be built into the bf3 browser filter on or off how can you even tell if its on or not?

[lifeisaliewithoutaf]

tks makes for more realistic gameplay and less nade and clay and motar spamming... thats how ive always played on bf2 and its a good system as long as they have the forgive and punish system where if u keep on tking and u have a neg score then u get kicked....i dont think its on console though

[MsLinziKirsch]

team killing is so funny and fun. especially if ur the highest rank

[Joehockey1990]

I like the idea of FF because you actually have to pick your shots. You can't just launch rockets down a hallway because you might hit a teammate. However FF is terrible when you have that special kind of loser who does it because it's funny.

wow

@TyeWebb could be

@TyeWebb no game is perfect from day 1, and if our biggest problem on day 1 is friendly fire then we should be extremely happy.

1. This could be a problem in the beta, since its free. Free shit draws in the douchebags like flies on crap. Plus your stats get erased after the beta. So if you kill 20 teammates in a match and get kicked from the server.... No big deal to you.

2. Shouldn't be that big of a deal when the game is released. Not to many people are going pay $50 bucks for a game just to douche and teamkill on purpose. But as the game starts dropping in price, it'll start happening more
