Why is hypocrite spelled with an E at the end?
The I in crite is not pronounce as eye.

So, on the one hand I spell it out exactly as it should be.
You follow the standard set before you by fools who can't even get a handle on the rules of their own language.

Counter Strike
Quake
Hell, even CoD had FF. What is your point?

lmfao@gamelinks

What is that supposed to prove?

Because Halo has it right. I feel FF should be on in FPS games.

It should be in games, but at the same time I'm glad it's not, due to all the 12 year old griefers in CoD and other games.

If there was no friendly fire, a lot of hilarious accidental betrayals would never have happened.
Also gettting your teammate to stick you and then running into a pack of enemies, getting your teammate to rocket boost you up to hiding places etc would be a problem.

Must be something he made up. The googles has nothing.

New Zealand is pretty much the best place in the world.

Can I have a pursuit warthog? (red&blue flashing lights, siren, black and white paint job, gull-wing doors, no turret but a truckbed cap where the turret assembly should be, and the ability to arrest players :)

A police falcon would be great as well... (Black&white paint job, flashing red & blue lights on the wing struts and tail, no turrets and doors that open and close similar to the republic gunships in Star Wars. Kick... Ass.)

Police pelican would be cool too!!!

Actually, if I can remember clearly, it exists in some games. What happens is that if you shoot a teammate (accidental or otherwise) you take the damage. Problem is, if I accidentally shoot a teammate in the head, well... You know.

That sounds like the dumbest idea ever.

  • 11.18.2011 11:29 PM PDT

Yeah that doesn't make any sense.

OT: There is friendly fire in Halo because the developers feel we are skilled and responsible enough to handle it. God bless them.

Exactly, Mirror damage is applied in CoD's hardcore, you kill a teammate, you drop dead.

Friendly fire teaches you to be more careful.

Remember in 'Exodus' after the Grunt Kamikazes - when you appear into the open - there's a Brute shaking a civilian by the throat.
If you aim at the Brute but kill the civvy you'll drop down dead - that's "mirrored damage".

Your presence here is quite unneeded. Begone you!!!

Lots of FPS games have friendly fire what are you talking about?

It would also add a slight need for a thought process when using Killstreaks/Grenades/Explosives in general.

Can you imagine the carpet bomb killstreak working if betrayals were possible?

  • 11.19.2011 12:43 PM PDT

Arby n The Chief - THER CANZ BE NLY 1

Simple answer is if it was of, the grenade spamming would be 100000000000000000000000.5 times worse.

Beg your entire team to go inside so you can use it? In CoD? Not happening.

The first option wouldn't happen, either. Asking CoD players to think...preposterous!
