Team killers on Expert

[Pieman]

Im sick and tired of tk'ers on expert. anyone know a way to combat them?

1) Block them. Go to there profiles. Click on more ( I believe ). Blocking options should be there.
2) You can try reporting them for user misconduct. Don't know if Valve will do anything.
3) Write down and / or memorize there Steam ID. This is found within the console. Even if they change there game name, the Steam ID can still identify them.

If this is occuring on your server: See this[forums.alliedmods.net] and for the server.cfg:

Change to 1 to enable Friendly Fire.

Block them, that's about all you can do. If you play on community servers, see if you can report them to the admins for bans.

N00bs phases:

1st phase Funny moments w/ 8 hrs on record
2nd phase: Rage/troll/newbies because they are kicked, & become killermates on Expert
3rd phase. Uninstall or born a new player (;

Remember that.

Uh, that's not a solution... if there's no friendly fire, not only does expert become pointlessly easy, but that only prevents tkers from killing you, not from attempting to destroy the game in other ways.

[Knappy]

It is a solution, just one you do not agree with. Also, there are many other[forums.alliedmods.net] plugins[www.sourcemod.net] for this issue.

No, it's not. The friendly fire is a very important part of expert; when you can't spray and pray recklessly, you have to shoot carefully. Once your shots are limited your kills are limited, exposing you to more risk.

With over twice your hours in expert only, I can safely say that once you remove friendly fire, an expert game is completely pointless. It's about as much worth as an expert game with god mode on, or any other ridiculously overpowered survivor bonuses that completely negate the point of expert- which is a harder game.

[Knappy]

It's still a solution whether or not you agree with it or not, and whether or not you choose to read the sourcemod links I have provided. Also note that my game-play time doesn't compare to my five years of dealing with SRCDS and relevant these issues. You can choose to actually listen to my advice and make your own server with a TK prevention plugin, or quit ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about something you have absolutely no control over as a client.

Gotta agree with the notion that removing friendly fire breaks the game pretty badly. Proper expert players take more damage from their teammates than the infected.

But personally I just use my own server and some Sourcemod plugins to deal with TK. Ban the offender (no voting needed when you are admin), count the friendly fire damage, and give the health back.

[BlackMilk]

Always watch newly joined players.
If they start shooting you or a teammate, incapacitate them.
If there's a bot active in the team, kill them so they're not revived.
When they're down or dead, vote to kick them.

If your other teammates have any brains and aren't clueless morons, the offender will be kicked.
If he/she is not kicked, leave the game. Your "team" deserves the abuse they're about to receive.

You can block people all you like, there will always be trolls.

EDIT: If you're on your own server and you have something like SM or an admin addon installed, put godmode on yourself if it looks like they're going to try to shoot you.
They really, REALLY hate that. It's hilarious.
