Always a good idea, but still doesn't remove the TKs when in room to room, you toss a nade and others suddenly arrive behind you and enter the room to get blown up.

Even can happen if they are beside you as nades for some reason have no sound. So you have to spot the throwing animation (which you don't if they are beside you) or a quick little blob among all the other action.T.

I have "Grenade" bound to a key i can simply press when throwing one

Good setup... now of the other 99% did that :)


BubbaG, yeah having FF while can be a pain at times, it's mostly good. Only a pain when you're having one of those 'days' you get in war games.
Lack of FF was one of my beefs with WWIIOL. Carpet bombing your troops to kill enemy and such did not do much for realism, especially if you're close and can see half the deaths due to the bomb die, and the other half not because they are on the same team.

The individual concerned is a well known troublemaker who has been repeatedly banned not only by Admins within the RO community by also by Valve themselves.

He was caught again on our servers and recieved a total of 2 bans per server because he was using guest passes to re-enter.

He was most definately NOT an RTR member but an imposter who has a liking for impersonating RTR members in particular.

Any RO Admins wanting his latest details just drop me a PM and TWB will oblige.;)

could you also do something about a guy who plays on the 50 players servers called Cartoon? he TKs me and any other player he wan't too till he gets banned all the time. He also changes his name and comes back on the server the next day. Hes a major thorn in an other wise good game. He pulled some new tricks last night where he would shoot you to the point of death and then leave you to take the last shot by the enemy. It was a major problem. He has a huge grudge agenst me for muteing him the first time we met because he was spamming his mic with his death rap.

There are a few other A$$hats that come to mind on this and they float around the zero mark so they dont draw attention. One of them is a guy by the name of Panzershreck which I saw him on the 50 man yesterday on TWB or Old Glory. He just generally is an idiot like shooting tanks in the rear while leaving spawn and nadding teammems when he knows they are there. But then trys to mask it by killing a few enemy. The other person that comes to mind is JesusStolemyweed.

Every few games I play as MG I get booted for excessive TKs. You have to be aggressive on the MG and also considering you are in a support position with friendlies running around in your field of fire, the potential for massive TKing is there.

The autoban makes you a lot more careful about pulling the trigger, which I guess from the point of view of the assaulting troops is a good thing, but it tends to lesson the effectiveness of the MG. For example if you have a grouping of 3 or 4 enemy troops and a single friendly all tangled up, your first instinct is to just blow them all away, not wait for them to kill the one lone guy.

I am a MGunner too. You should be able to do it without any more team kills than anybody else. Actually, I get in trouble the most when nading.

Once when a platoon leader, I stonked about six teammates in one salvo and got kicked. It happens. Even good players make a few boo boos. (not that I am a great one)

I do get my little feelings hurt when I get kicked, but for the most part it is there for a reason and works well. I am more careful about things and that is a good thing.

Krautland.
The A-hole population is growing at a disturbing rate, noticed a huge increase in tking the past while.

Crucifying everyone of them on the road from Stalingrad to Berlin would be one deterent:D

I'm rather afraid that there would not be much space left to actually walk that way anymore... I agree that intentional TKing is becoming a bigger problem now that it seems that RO is finally getting the public awareness it deserves.

But I must say that since the 50 player update is out, accidental TKs are increasing at a much higher rate - which is no wonder. I got teamkilled like ten times today on PariserPlatz in the Reichstag Capzone by my ruskie teammates, but at least most of them cared to apologize, so it doesn't hurt too much.

Generally - being TKed is rather realistic. I don't know any statistics, but I think that quite a lot of the deaths in fronts on WW2 were induced by friendly fire, which was not friendly at all. Must be some BF2 and COD2 players that were sucking there and just keep sucking at RO as well. Mind that I don't think that all BF2 and COD convertees suck at playing RO - it just seems that the influx of idiots which is ruining those games in public play is just coming to RO to ruin public play here.

TK'ing was rampant yesterday on the one of the two ARAD map servers. Not the real forest one. Two numbnuts caused real havoc in the morning, one of them named "sniper". It looked like they knew each other which made it all the worse. They were machine gunning and running over people left and right. Trouble is I would call them on it in chat and became their target for the rest of the time I was on.

That afternoon another one came on named "slovak" who kept standing in my way as I was directing arty and then gunned me down. When I respawned I watched him head into the South village and satchel charge a tiger tank.He was called on it by multiple people but could have cared less. Eventually an admin came on and he disappeared, but not before taking out multiple soldiers and tanks.

Pretty much makes you want to scream in frustration.

If the Tk'er has left the server and I send in screenshots to the admin server later on how do I know they'll act? Can they go back in server logs (if there are such things) to find the TK player name and his/her server IP address?
