The Bungie server thing... I guess I don't understand that, at all. Do they have cool game types or something? This is a serious question, as I've run into this sentiment on multiple occassions.
Good to know you can disable FF for one person. However, would this mean that this one person cannot deal friendly fire or does it mean that they cannot recieve friendly fire? I've only ever played in games where FF is disabled universally.
There are things that a TKer enjoys doing that this solution wouldn't fix. Even if a single player could be gimped up so he couldn't hurt his own team mates, he could still be annoying by going around flipping hogs/ghosts, shooting at people while the enemy attacks, and giving away your location if you're trying to be stealthy. I'm sure if a TKer tried hard enough, they could even run you over with a vehicle.
The ways in which such a system could be abused aren't all that many, I guess, but the potential is there. The exploits I had in mind involve true exploitation, not just a TKer who is trying to be annoying, but the situations I was thinking of depend on your answer to my question above. Does the FF setting apply to damage being dealt or received by this troublesome player? Or both?
I'd like to point out that because I don't actually play on these servers that I'm merely playing devil's advocate here. I don't have a problem if this "solution" were implemented on these few servers. Just trying to point out a few things you might not have thought of. :)
