Will the server be FF on like before. i for one hope so as it will add that additional skill level.

*Looks at url*

I think it's a safe bet we'll have FF on.

Yes. I can't promise it will be on come Day 1 (whenever the day is) but yes.

Personally (as pokerface the person and not necessarily pokerface the GO), I'd prefer some smaller multiplier on FF in games like NS2 due to the nature of the combat and the tighter maps. I like FF to make people careful, but not outright punish people. That's just me on my soapbox though.

Based on the nade spamming I've been seeing so far, I will welcome FF ON!

**Skud** · 09-05-2012, 03:36 PM

I wonder if there would be a way to have FF ON, but have it only trigger after x damage? Best of both worlds, yes? I agree with Poker, some maps could really hurt. Maybe the first 5-10 damage would be the grace period before your mag dump on a fellow marine kills him?

Im going to try to set up a dedicated server on days off as a temp server till we get one going, unless you guys already have one. Im not sure if you have any mods or anything you guys want to try out. Ill post here when i have it up and running.

ok easier said than done

There may not be a friendly fire option...see loading screen tip on this screenshot: http://twitter.yfrog.com/ob62457425j

**OscarTheCouch** · 09-16-2012, 08:40 PM

im sure there will be a FF=0 option, but i guess we have to wait to see

**OscarTheCouch** · 09-16-2012, 08:40 PM

even if there isnt i cant wait to get going on this TG server

As an avid NS1 player. FF on would be lolz silly.

**snooggums** · 10-13-2012, 03:01 PM

It should be reduced if it is included, maybe 25% damage to friendlies so that players have to be careful but more than two skulks can bite a node and players can shoot the feet of Exos to clear skulks without killing them.

NS1 had friendly fire deal 1/3 normal damage by default (1/2 to yourself if using explosives). I would assume we'd want something similar here, if possible. But does NS2 even have a friendly fire server setting? I know friendly fire isn't active on vanilla servers, it might be something you'd have to mod in.

Oh, and hey again everyone. It's been a long wait. =)
