TK Punish RAGE

[Rudd]

This is why

1) You have the most accurate gun in game
2) You will have spent several seconds staring at your victim
3) You KNOW that enemies and friendlies are mixed in so you should have held your fire until your targets became clear

I'm sorry mate, but sounds like he was in the right and you were in the wrong.

If you cannot get clear IDs on targets, hold fire and move to a location where you can.

I've been TKed more by snipers than any other ingame asset in .9

Remember, you are there to help your team, your team isnt' there to arrange targets for you.

[Rudd]

yeah some people are dicks, my personal rule is punish if I don't get a sorry, unless I know it wasn't their fault anyway.

the worst case is when dudes go over your mines that you clearly marked on the map

some people are just not cut out for multiplayer games

[ankyle62]

i dont know why anyone punishes, doesnt it just hurt the team? it's not like anyone cares about their score in PR, maybe some of the fobbits do.


i agree with what was said above though. check your targets, youre in the wrong if you tag one of your teammates a majority of the time unless they jump in front of you while firing or decide to play fetch with your grenade.

The worst for me is people running over grenade traps you've marked, announced in team chat, and have stopped other people from running over - and then they punish you. Like...seriously, it's not my fault you don't look where you're going! I even place the can out in the middle of the door so it's about as easy to see as possible =/
In one Insurgency match on Gaza Beach, the very same guy ran over TWO of my grenade traps that I had announced, marked, etc., and punished me both times. Maybe if grenade traps came with a giant yellow sign, people would stop running over them... but then again, probably not. Players hardcoded and all.

I only punish when someone TK's me on purpose... which is what I think it's supposed to be for.

These ones helped get me banned for a round.


I don't mind when people run over my traps, or mines. But, don't punish.

I forgive if I judge the situation to be crazy enough (e.g. I'm too close to enemy forces), even if I don't get a sorry.

By the way I don't say sorry when people run over my marked mines (in insurgency), they should apologize to me.



And to OP - it's pretty hard to forgive a sniper. That's exactly the sort of role in which I expect the shooter to take time to verify the target. That's what I do when I engage over long ranges. Though I agree wearing enemy kits is making it harder.

Oh god, I do this all the time. ops:

Idea of the sniper is to be one of the most elite soldiers on the field, meaning that mistakes as these should not be happening.

[AgentMongoose]

I find when sniping that my best shots are always tks. Shots like:
target is 850m sprinting through cover perpendicular to me. Then it turns out to be a lone friendly or something like that.
Now when I get those shots setup I just don't shoot, because if I hit him it will be friendly and if not I'll miss. >.<

however I do get grumpy why I get tkd by stupidity. Killed by a friendly btr while driving in a uaz those kinds of things I punish for. Or if I am flanking and I come up behind a hostile squad clear them out and a friendly comes in from the other way. And I hold my fire then he lights me up.

Killed by ff frags or stray fire I tend to forgive it happens to the best of us.

Holly double posts batman.

[CodeRedFox]

LOL is this thread for real?

And you wonder why people hate sniper players. If anything I would be mad at your spotter fo.......oh, you didn't have a spotter. "Hey squad I just joined I'm a sniper, I get leet kills"

One should always think where one puts the mines or nade traps. I've lost count of the times when I've rushed to the cache for RPG ammo, just to step to some moron's nade trap that he placed right next to the cache. If the area has more friendly traffic than enemy traffic, you shouldn't place it there, whether its a nade trap or a vehicle mine.

You should scout out your route carefully before rushing back for RPG ammo. Insurgents shouldn't have to dumb down their defenses just so people can be oblivious to their surroundings.

[BrownBadger]

Well, like Rudd mentioned, if you're not sure... don't fire. That's the main reason I punish people, when they just can't be bothered to check the map. If it's a clear mistake or in the heat of the moment I always forgive.

[joethepro36]

I like playing as a sapper and I like placing mines. I average about 50 mines a game as insurgent, with HILARIOUS results.

I estimate 90% of my mines are detonated, just a good 75% of that by friendlies.

I only rage when people punish me for running over mines (which happens all the time), overwise it's usually my fault and I made the mistake.
