Giving The Courtesy For The Kill...

I typically try to do the same. Say encountering a light/light chase fest, they cross my path, I get lucky enough to leg the enemy light, I note how many weps that mech has, and I've disengaged. Or coming up upon two heavies brawling, join in to the point of destroying every weapon on the enemy mech, and disengaging the same. Both instances, ensuring the teammate can easily finish the job he/she started.
I know it's impossible to sort out these kinda things in an 8v8 fight fest - whoever gets the kill gets it. And I'm not at the least complaining if that happens. But seeing such courteous action like what I saw on the YLW today on the virtual battlefield makes me enjoy playing with players that keep the spirit of the game alive.

Kill mechs efficiently and effectively. If you're leaving a mech for a teammate to finish off, it should be because you are desperately needed elsewhere.

Sorry if I offend you by killing that armed war machine that you were fighting, but you might recall that he had guns, and the best way to win is to eliminate your enemy's ability to fire guns at you. Killing them works great to that effect.
There's no such thing as a Kill-Steal; there are only Team Kills. When you destroy an enemy Mech, your Team scores a kill.

I call it a deny... and pretend it was intentional>.< Bloody guys crossing my lasers while nearly dead.

I would have finished off that light as it would have allowed both mechs to engage the remaining enemies immediately. That can sometimes be enough of a difference between a win and loss for the team.

This is pretty much the only reason I'll pull off like that. I don't care about personal glory, my goal is to make sure we win. If you get buttmad that "I stole your kill" well too bad. I don't complain when someone finishes my target off because I recognize that the faster something dies the better because it frees up pilots who can then help jump other enemies.
I do have a bit of a violent reaction to "e-honor" because of some certain drama in Jedi Knight 2, so there is that.

Never said anything about kill stealing, blah - blah. We get too wrapped around the axle in arguing about win/loss, this is OP, that is OP, etc...
Yes, kill mechs efficiently, get that team win. I agree. But it was refreshing to see a different grain of wood in the game.

I've seen Atlas's killed by wounded lights with only a small laser left. We all have. I'm sure we've all been on the receiving end as well. While a mech still has weaponry, it's a threat.

This.
Anyone on my team is welcome to the kill shot of anything I'm shooting. When that happens I'm just stoked that there is someone else on the team focusing fire other than me.
