TKing With FF OFF in V2 Map.
 

okay everyone. this is just a warning to you.

i was playing on a good server yesterday, and the map switched over to V2. i joined axis and hid behind the barrels near the rocket like i always do.

all of a sudden a rocket came outta nowhere and hit the barrels. the barrels blew up and killed me. i could of swore it was a teammate, but i couldnt prove it. so i did the same thing again, but this time, i watched everyone near me.

i went near the barrels again, and wouldnt ya know it. i looked to my left and saw one of my teammates with a rocket launcher walk up to the boxes to the left of me. he came out and shot a rocket at the barrels. killed me again.

FF was off, just to clarify that.

just watch out where you are in that map. if a person is smart, they will know to get you there, even with FF off.

thats my heads up for the day. thanks.

Thats not actually a new one and the "TKer" doesnt get credited with a kill/negative kill. Technically you blew up like you steped on a mine and you get a death and (maybe a negative kill). The TKer just has one less rocket. It works this way anywhere with barrels (red or black I believe).

Anyone else ever noticed that if you shoot the red barrels to kill someone, you dont get a kill, he just "blew up".

Yeah, this is a fairly old glitch that I discovered when a nade went off next to the barrels and I ended up dying.

Long story short, if you see a nade or rocket flying towards barrels, don't sit there and stare at it :-)

Or it was a telefrag. You can fire a rocket and if you go into specator before the rocket goes off it will kill whoever it hits. Its a lot harder to do then tele-grenading.

every n00b finds this out first night they play.

Actually barrel death is also my hobby along with shooting people off ladders lmfao

I know I know its the small things in life *grins*

well, no shit. i've been doing that for months.

the barrel and grenade thing is only for the v1.11. i think if you read the "Read me" it says some shit about that

Well, I didn't know about it. But I play OBJ very very rarely.

same with me Bleu.

i never had that happen to me, so obviously i didnt know it exists.

Same thing here, don't play Obj that much but I do remember this happening to me on that same map.

I think it's time to change over the aa.com sever to obj for a couple of weeks.

I always play OBJECTIVE, it's actually old this news ... But good to let them know ! wink:

i accidentally tk ed someone once using that technique. i throw nades at the barrels while i wait for the allies cause it can get pretty boring, and i blew one of my buddies up. i think it was in a clan match too. yeah, that sucked.

Thanks for the heads up as this one is news to me. I usually don't stay still long enough for this to happen to me.

lol hey JowShmoe
i do that to. i gets pretty borin waiting for the allies to come eh. im usually by the door at the far end with a sniper rifle waitin to snipe bitches that walk through the control room. ive blown up a couple of my team members doin that but i meant to cause i know them. my friend always hides behind them so hes a perfect target. he gets pissed off sometimes though and blows me off the railing with a rocket but its still fun.

I never knew that and iv'e never done that and iv'e never had that done to me :)

i could have sworn that ive blown up the boxes on that level by the rocket. ive tried it before but i cant do it again. i dont know if u can tk someone but i think u can blow them up

Just a quick question: The barrels in V2: They're oil barrels, aren't they? Since when do they blow up?

The black barrels near the stairs in V2 don't blow up. I've had a teammate shoot the barrels as I hid behind them and all they did was spill oil on me.

Go back and have your buddy shoot them with a rocket or drop a nade there and tell us what happens.

I dont remember them blowing up at all. . .

Bullets won't do a thing...except create a few holes and spill oil all over the place.

BUT, like Pest said, send a rocket or grenade that way and you're history.

Have been aware of the barrel thingy for a while.. usually avoid being behind them for any reason.
I would like to point out other ways of dying by friendly fire / intervention.
For example, you are armed with a Bazooka and have slipped into a nice shooting position. You are in the act of pressing fire when one of your teammates moves directly in front of you to use your position for their own benefit and your rocket explodes in their back. You die. They are unscathed.
Or, you pull the pin on your grenade and release it just as one of your teammates steps in front of you. It bounces back at you, you turn to run like a muthaF---a but you are blocked by the 3 stooges in the doorway behind you. You die. They live. cry:

There are times when you wish your soldier could bitchslap your own teammates costing them some of their health.
