Anyone know of a FF server for TF2?

(I have a warped sense of humour)

[Myroc]

I don't know, why don't you ask in here?

SPY CHECK!

I know one. Its called Syder's Idle Server. Friendly Fire is on.
Bullets, Explosives and Melee will damage teammates. Sniper Rifles, Huntsmans, and Flamethrowers won't.
I've even earned myself a custom weapon there

If you're looking for a serious friendly fire server, then no - they all died quickly because you couldn't even leave spawn before getting killed by teammates.

If you're looking for a serious friendly fire server, then no - they all died quickly because you couldn't even leave spawn before getting killed by teammates.

Part of this is the old excuse: "But I can!" Friendly fire is so rare in TF2, that when it's activated, people start teamkilling obsessively, just for the heck of it. 


But mainly, it's because TF2 was never designed for FF, and it shows. Explosives are abundant and have large blast radii; automatic weapons (*cough* minigun) are highly inaccurate even at mid-range and will likely hit anything near the target; sentry guns will happily fire through teammates if there's a valid target behind them; flamethrowers have difficult-to-judge hitboxes (though I've heard they don't ignite friendlies when using the built-in FF command, so they're still useful for spotting Spies.). Making a good FF mod would require more than setting one cvar; it'd require a substantial rebalance of the entire game.

In the original TF2 beta friendly fire was on, though the fact they removed it showed it didn't work then and there's been a lot of balancing since.

I always thought, if you'd turn on FF... everybody would end up playing spy

Half the problem with the spy class. Anyone can just slug a shotgun shell in your face and only have to worry about wasting a shotgun shell on a teammate. Beyond improving the spy game, I don't see a single reason why TF2 would need FF. Or dare I say, any Source kiddie game except Age of Chivalry.

Unfortunately, FF would make no difference, just insta TK's

[Nilocy]

Yeah, we tried it once, I couldn't help myself and just sat in our spawns as heavy just murdering our teammates.
