......I experienced this:

Forest Colony Assault. My team start down the lower, water end and head up the right had side towards the cave.

So I'm hunkered down just outside the cave taking potshots at the other team in the water when suddenly I'm under a rain of LRMs - but no Bitching Betty warning signal.

I just have time to think "that's odd" when suddenly there's a loud explosion and I'm cored from behind!

As the "death screen" circles around my burning mech I realised the LRMs were aimed at the AC40 Jager who has just hidden behind me and who has then preceded to fire back ignoring the fact I'm between him and his target

I've seen some things in my MWO time but that takes the biscuit!

Anybody care to share anything similar?

I've been the guy to take cover behind somebody with an ams, but I've never cored a friendly, hah, man that sucks!

Well, I know he didn't see it... but I did unleash an unguided/no-lock volley of LRM-60 into this enemy Catapult from 400m behind him... *pop*

In a pitched battle on Tourmaline in my Highlander dealing with foes who have moved away from Theta and are now in the rocky wall area. I get hit from behind by a team-mate, but life goes on. I'm lining up a shot with my Gauss rifle (zoomed in, moving backwards away from 5+ foes), when the guy who grazed me steps right in front of me when I fire. So, he takes a Gauss to the back. I apologize - and he then turns around and fires 2 PPC's at me?!

A few seconds later he drops since he totally forgets about the FIVE mechs I was fighting in an effort to "punish" me for friendly fire. He then spends the rest of the match chewing me out over the open text line, calling me worthless, etc. What I find funny is that not only am I to blame for accidently shooting him, but when he shot me, I was also somehow at fault?! Funny how that works.

As he continues to rant, our team gets plowed under, but I go on a terrifying run at the end, killing 3 mechs single-handedly while surrounded by 5 of them, including 2 cockpit kills on Catapults. He shuts up completely after that.

Sadly, there are no shortage of idiots online, but I've never seen a case before where a single friendly fire shot results in 2 PPC's to the torso and minutes of ranting. Still killed 3 mechs, despite the damage he did to me, so who's the useless one? Right...
