Friendly Fire

This should be an actual option in the game since it's an important variable when hunting that you need to think about.

NO this is not COD geesh! Just another way to turn a hunting game into a free for all on MP mode! Then there goes the hunting trust me there are idiots that would fast turn MP mode into COD with friendly fire!

Yup. I've seen way too many complaints about randoms screwing up multiplayer already without adding friendly fire.

+1 to "no, not a good idea..."

Having said that, I'd love to play a (different!) pvp game on these maps/world-engine - so long as there was a minimum detail level retaining foliage. Yum.

I appreciate the replies lads but as I said, It would be an option. I dont play with any randoms I play with my mates.

So you want to be able to kill your mates?

[❄️The Last Frontier 😊]

so go play with your mates in COD then geesh this is not COD and the community does not want it to be COD!!!

I don't think the OP is looking to add COD features. He mentions "important variable when hunting that you need to think about."

I think they are just looking to add something that in the real world is a concern and is something you need to be mindful of. Not sure it translates to this game very well though unless it's just used as a PVP feature. I mean, if they take the time to add this and it's added for the realism, and you play as if you are hunting IRL, how often would you even see it in action.

[❄️The Last Frontier 😊]

yeah but you know as well as I do that will fast get turned into COD even if it is the idiots that in matches you know the ones who fire wildly into the air or lay on top of you while you try and shoot. It would be a feature that would just turn it into COD

COD mode -> Bows and 20x 300gr arrows. No map icons for players. All non-bear animals are replaced by bears. All spawn points are at the extreme edge of the map.

Seriously though, I'd rather see the host get the ability to perma-ban annoying players from their server long before friendly fire. Perhaps if the cheaters and trolls got banned by enough people; they'd straighten up...but I won't hold my breath on that part.

If this was a server OPTION I don't see a problem with that. Honestly, mutiplayer hyjinks is one of the funniest and best features of this game. Getting a group to hunt a herd of Bison is an AMAZING time. If players even want to deathmatch... as long as it's a OPTION, who cares? It might be fun to do that one night. We already have had ATV racing and it's not a RACING GAME either. Sometimes after hunting days in a row you just want to do something crazy and fun. What does that hurt? If you want to turn that option with your friends for ♥♥♥♥ Cheney levels of realism, yeah fine. Many simulation games have a lot of setting to make things more or less realistic. This could be one setting for this game.

[❄️The Last Frontier 😊]

No I disagree. You give an inch here and an inch there and another over here and you got COD.

The game is meant for hunting animals not humans!

You turn on Friendly Fire then you have people saying well we have that why not AR15's oh wait their already trying to get AR15's then whats to stop if AR15's are added to them turning on rocket launchers and tanks and why not battleships and aircraft carriers on the lakes! Over in Norden we can use that tower to launch nuclear missiles and Drop in airborne rangers and seals into the lowlands and arctic paratroopers into the mountain peaks.

I think the key word here is "option". Besides, EW would never add those crazy things anyway. They have always had a strong emphasis on ethical hunting and I don't think using tanks is very ethical.

I was exaggerating to make a point HA HA

And for the record IF if is ever made an option it should be something that is very clearly marked on the server list (also side note I think time of day should also be on server list tired of joining a MP match to only find it as nighttime!) but back on point if it is added it should be noted in the server list!

Also in matches that have already started without it on then the host I think should have to recreate a new match to turn it on that way those of us who merely want to hunt don't have to put up with COD and then another person would just be put in as host like now if the host leaves!

But I personally am still against it!

As some of you make a valid point of it ''could turn into COD'' but thats not what I am after. More of @picsouls way of thinking. As I've stated in previous comments it would be an option. And I also agree that you should need to restart the server to turn this option on. And that it would be visible in the server list. Think it off as how ''hardcore'' is featured in games like battlefield,cod etc.
