When your team mates know everyone on thier team is safe from thier fire they start acting like -blam!-s! Like they nade your hog to take it from you ect,ect not to mention when you are crawling through a tunnel on NEW_MOMBASA_CLASSIC and they shoot you for fun
this alearts the enemy and can get you killed. I for one don't like this, IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT A SOLOUTION TO TKING!!! Useally when you have ff turned on you have to deal with only one -blam!- but with ff off it seems almost everyone is an -blam!-!!!

I like having no friendly fire (so you cant damage your teamates), because I have the worst of luck with vehicles. I'll hop in a banshee, WHAM you tked blah you team killing -blam!-tard!. Or in a warthog, pull up alongside somebody, slides along like an inch a minute, and they die??!! I like not being able to tk my teamates.

My point is that the annoyance spreads further depending what kind of people are on the server. Like I said before it lets people do things like take vehicles from you by nocking you out with a nade and they dont even have to tk you to do so(so the amount of people that would do that increases). I ran into situations where this sort of thing cost me kills and or got me killed. These things can cut down on team efficency. However if you get the luck to have people in your game that respect eachother this doesn't happen.

Well, its good when you are using heavy weapons to turn off friendly fire, and also during stunt/glitch games. Otherwise, I don't give a damn.

i agree this way your team mates dont get pist off at you and there are no traitors. yes it does depend on who you are playing with but so does having friendly fire on. if its off they cant kill u so i think it is definitely better.

my point(sigh) is that even with no ff I still ended up getting killed because of teamates screwing me over by nading vechiles and shooting at me for fun, oh and then when someone is shooting you and you turn around and see it is your team mate and the enemy blasts you in the back with a rocket that is why it sucks to have no ff.
This stops tking but everyone can be a -blam!- with out the fear of tking someone(what i mean is people that useally don't make tking a habit).

Im undecided on this one. No ff is helpfull as if you see your team mate haveing a bit of truoble with a enermy you can lob a granade over and boom.
However you get those players who shoot at you constantly and don't bother fighting which really **** me off

I think that playing without FF can be just as much fun,but i also think that playing with FF on is like playing on a higher level than playing without. You have to count in the fact that you might kill or hit a Teammate and when you can play skillful without TK'ing you're better than when you can get a good score while playing without FF.
