I know this thread serves no purpose, and the people I hit will probably never read it. But I feel bad and need to vent. If anyone else wants to post here, do so if it makes you feel better.

1. I heared "Base is being captured." I ran to base. There's an atlas showing me his backside! Alpha! Oops. He was on my team. That was totally my fault. Sorry.

2. Lights. You're just so fast. If I see you circling an enemy I avoid firing. But sometimes you just get in front of my AC/20 or my 9 lasers. Sorry.

3. Brawlers. If you're face hugging the enemy and all I see is that red triangle, I tend to fire first and think "oops" later. Try backing up a little please. Sorry.

4. To all you lights and mediums (and some heavies) who run right in front of me when I am obviously unloading hellfire? Not sorry.

Last night I was in a brawl on caustic, saw a shut down hunchback with no red/green triangle above the head, so I gave him a full alpha to the face.

...

Now I know that friendlies who power down inside and ECM blanket aren't marked as friendly...

Indeed.

ECM has increased the chances of FF with the whole "losing all targeting" effect inside the bubble. You really have to pay attention to who's who. Sometimes you'll be at range looking at a dustup under a bubble, and you're looking at maybe 6-7 mechs with no IDs. Better remember who's on your side and who ran there over the ridge before you unload the autocannons.

I'm really tempted to throw a TAG on my snipers just for that reason, make sure someone is an enemy before I fire into an ECM brawl.

That's a slick idea man. I always like seeing creative ideas with the tools at hand. Couldn't hurt to test it out for a bit, see if it hampers your overall effectiveness.

[BerryChunks]

Im not sorry.

[Krazy Kat]

When CW arrives (if ever) It would be cool to have entire teams with the same paint sceme. It would make FF a lot less likely.

Is this gonna be fixed anytime? I blew a guys torso off today because of this.

I had been following an Atlas all game on my 4SP in River City. After some longer range skirmishing, we collapsed near our base where the enemy was. I ate a few volleys from an enemy D-DC I started dodging between building and ended up behind a D-DC, I thought I had him and alphaed him in the back.

Oh, sorry friendly D-DC. You weren't marked by a blue triangle and I had LOS on you, so I just assumed... then the enemy D-DC shot me in the back. :\

[Mycrus]

It is an accident, pls make sure you type a quick SRY

[Heeden]

I accidentally fired 2-SRM4s in to the back of a Catapult at the start of a match, I was very sorry about that.

I also find myself unloading my Dakkaphract in to team-mates who run between me and the target, I'm slightly less sorry about that (although I do regret wasting the ammo).

That's not a game design error. That's a tactical firing error. >__________>

[Dukarriope]

The other day, I saw an Atlas walking away from me, standing right inside my red targeting bracket that said Atlas AS7-RS........ and unloaded my alpha onto it.

Then I got closer and realized the targeting bracket was for a target behind him in the distance.
@#$%

[Emeere]

To that Commando who ran in front of me just as I let loose an Alpha on my Stalker with MLSx6 and SRM6x4. Sorry!

[Croft]

Sorry about the friendly fire in that cave cluster ****... i was just trying to be friendly.

[MW Waldorf Statler]

I got it yesterday in Brawling also noticed that disconnected Mechs are no longer marked: (a Catapult slipped off down the slope in Forrest Colony, and I thought it was the enemy's Catapult is just over, unloaded both Gauss in his cockpit. .. and had to read "CSJ Ranger killed bikini" oh ... bikini went so quickly from the game that I could not even write sorry...
because it does not like MW4 also different team colors (as in other playing uniforms) are, one has no chance to identify one abgeschaltetetn Mech in standard color, until he comes up, I hope soon to be introduced Teamdecals etc

[smokefield]

happened twice for me to hit an powerdown mech that was in my team. it was hilarious to a point...me and a phract were fighting 2 other phratcs and a catapult with an enemy ecm spider running around...i was circling around the catapult hitting him, when i turn my mech to the others involved in the fight i see 3 phracts powered down, I saw i cant chose who is friendly and who is enemy, and since we were going to lose anyway i hit an alpha in the best positioned phract for my weapons...ofcourse it was my teammate..we got blowned up seconds later...sry mate

similar situation, full brawl match, 4 atlasses, 2 enemy 2 in my team, i am circling an enemy cat (i think it was a cat), i turn to see 2 powered down atlasses, abouve one of them was the red triangle...alpha...he powers up..was from my team and the triangle was another atlass on the exact other side of him. sry for that

most of the rest of FF i inflicted was mainly from others fault.

[Raz Skullcrusher]

Well i guess i have to say sorry to the Raven 3L on River City, oh and the TDK as well for those ERPPC shots (hey its not my fault you guys got into a big lightmech ecm clusterf*&k in the water by Theta).

Also to the Gaussapult and Gaussaphract and Awesome on both Forest Colony and Caustic...GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!!!! If you see an Atlas pouring round after hellfire round of Gauss and 4xLL fire into acouple of mechs its not a good idea to get in front of that mech just so you can try KS with that weak rear armor in my crosshairs. To that i am very NOT sorry.

[kesmai]

WE NEED A PENALTY FOR PILOTS THAT CROSS THE FIRELINE AND GET KILLED THEN.

that ***** has cost me 10000 cbills and 150 exp.
