In this video I talk about friendly fire and team damage in video games, testing out friendly fire is a staple in games like Halo, Call of Duty, Portal, Lethal Company, Battlebit, Super Smash Bros and more. I wanted to make a video about how cool friendly fire is. Is there team damge.

The fact that I found this video by looking for a clip of Lethal Company where a guy gets freaked out by a spider, and his friend was in the way of the exit, so he with zero hesitation shot his friend point blank with a shotgun to get past him.

[@cotton6219]

i think the issue with friendly fire, is that its always funny the first time. And then as it happens more and more its just not fun. Getting domed by my own teammate and waiting to respawn isn't fun. I think i'd uninstall overwatch and valorant if that shit had friendly fire. edit: I think its different for games that r meant to be played with the boys versus games you play with randos. Getting team killed by a random is very rarely funny but when ur with the boys no one is trying to make others have a bad time.

[@nacligang]

Yea that one teammate that tries to be a troll too hard makes friendly fire/any teammate horseplay extremely corny

[@fatnsteamy9894]

Doesn’t work in Halo Inf. With all the power weapon hungry 10 year olds, you can’t pick up a rocket launcher in front of them or you will be killed for it.

[@Grizzy6122]

it obviously doesn't work in OW. half the abilities are massive AOEs, you would have to remove all the tank heroes and make the maps way more open if you wanted that to happen. imagine trying to use shatter, dva bomb, death blossom, deadeye, blizzard, etc

[@Pegarexucorn]

Or it turns into a useless feature because you get penalized after one TK which renders the feature almost useless. *cough* *cough* Insurgency Sandstorm *cough* *cough*

[@thraknar3363]

which is why a friendly fire or endorsement score is important. Or slightly tuning something so that a tank can take less damage from it etc.

[@mrswork9106]

One time I had fun with friendly fire is when me, my cousin, who was visiting at the time, and my dad went to an arcade 1up. We played a beat em up Spider-Man game, where if there are no enemies on the screen, you can fight each other. Every single time we cleared a room or were told to move on, my cousin and I would look at each other and immediately start fighting each other. My dad would sometimes join in too.

[@Unserioussam328]

As a big brawlhalla (another platform fighter similar to smash bros) player, team damage is an integral part of 2v2. If used well, team damage can let you hit your teammate back to the stage if they have no jumps to get there alone or stop their knockback as they inevitably fly towards the killbox with a weapon throw. However its important for balance because it makes team combos harder to pull off and as stellarjay said you have to be careful about spamming and your own positioning. On top of this some of my favourite and funniest moments in the game have come from me or a teammate either accidentally killing each other and throwing the game or thinking our win is so guaranteed that we stop 2v1ing the enemy and instead 1v1 each other leaving the last man standing to fight the remaining enemy. Needless to say ive lost a lot of elo from the last man standing not clutching up. But without team damage, the 2v2 experience would be so much less fun. Great video. Nice to see you back ❤❤

[@themainguy5241]

My only issue with friendly fire is randoms. Like you said people abused it and it was miserable because you either deal with someone ruining the game for you or getting kicked, thus ruining the game. I loved the funny moments team killing my friends in a call with me on accident, but with randoms that are for some reason so tempermental that even one stray bullet catching them will lead to them griefing the whole game its a problem. For example, I was playing insurgency PvE and there was a melee enemy about to stab my teammate in the back. I killed the enemy but a couple of bullets hit my teammate. He took that as an invitation to teamkill me every time I spawned for the rest of the game because "I didn't save his life, I shot him twice" since he didnt see the enemy

[@viktoranderas9541]

So there this party game called duck game. And it's my favourite game. It's just so fun. And it has friendly fire. Witch is hilarious. Because you play a bunch of quick rounds and you're just a one-shoot with any weapon. Making it really easy to kill your teammates. Sometimes you don't think about the fact that you have teammates and just shoot the person close to you withch might be your teammate. This creates this fun dynamic of you being scared of your teammate because they might shoot you on accident. And there's also a little time between the round ending and you getting your point. And the thing is you can die then and not get a point. But you've already won so killing your teammates doesn't really matter then. But sometimes two people think that and just shoot eachother at the same time. Which is hilarious because they just lost a free point. I definitely do agree friendly fire adds a lot to games.

[@sleeper6548]

Last month, I completed It takes two with my brother, and i loved sabotaging him in the chapter with nails, but seriously, by the end, the friendly fire turned off, and honestly, at that time the game did became a bit less fun just shows how friendly fire is very important

A random game called helldivers is fun just because of FF. It forces you into a top-down camera shared between 1 to 4 players and you can't exit the cam (you can annoy your friends by not moving and having everyone stuck). And the fun part: nearly every action you do can hurt your friends such as calling in equipement dropped on the map at mach 1 on your friend...

[@galacgacwatson3102]

One of the best games that I played with friendly fire is Starwars Battlefront on Xbox. The Xbox before they knew there would be a second one. The way the ai is so stupid and unpredictable but also so sensible and organized forces you to stratigize everything you do or else you could let your team down. The enemy team is beating yours in a hallway? Grenade! But no, because you just blasted seven of your guys to Valhalla. You're trying to snipe, but you're in a crowd. It's ok, in fact, they could act as cover! They all run in front of your gun, and you kill them. It gives you so such a big sense of responsibility and the need to get good because if you're not killing the enemy, you're killing your team. And again, with the stratigizing, it helps immerse you in the game. It's literally Star WARs. You feel like an important figure in the midst of a war. (And it's funny as hell accedentally shooting your friend and seeing them on the leaderboard labled as nemesis)

Had a friend play the first Halo with me, and I immediately put it on legendary for his first time. As we were almost done the Library, we were waiting for the final door to open, I told him the strategy, and yelled “Go” when the door started opening, and right as he was about to push through, I meleed him in the back of the head instantly killing him and made a mad dash to the end, to which I then got mauled by hundreds of Flood. His only word was “Karma”.

What can I say - team damage is just funny.

While it still has the tether screen, helldivers is a great example of friendly damage. Teams naturally form a line or a circle to prevent casualties and you depend on them. Also, the tether adds an extra challenge to veterans, because 1-2 people are anchors and stay shooting even when it's time to leave the area with endlessly increasing enemies.

[@donovanbisson4988]

I think Foxhole does friendly fire very well. It serves an important gameplay function (gas, grenades and artillery will kill you, regardless of which team sent them), but you can still do it without getting banned for a laugh but people will know you did it and you'll lose weapon/vehicle privileges if you do it too much. Also, try Foxhole you'd probably like it.

[@ikebirchum6591]

Apex Legends has some indirect friendly fire. A lot of abilities have equal effects on teammates and enemies in all ways except damage (bangalore smoke, bang and gibby airstrike, crypto EMP, rampart wall, wattson pylon, etc), you can also knock teammates back with your melees (something my brother loves doing to me when I'm on the edge of rooftops), and teammates can body block your shots and abilities if youre not careful (every horizon player has whiffed an ult at least once thanks to it bouncing off a teammate who moved in front of them at the wrong moment)

I'd argue it would even enhance winning because if you win with ff on it means your team put aside the difference and come together towards a common goal. Something like a tribunal base system made of players (not that is efficient), but players need tangible proof that their teammates are with them and not against them, and when match they can rely on them to fight not them but the enemy
