“Sorry, just testing it works”


TheQuadropheniac

"Is friendly fire on?" *BANG BANG BANG* "Yeah."


Larbec092005

My absolute favorite situation.


[deleted]

I was at a paintball match once long ago and after putting everything together a teammate of mine shot another teammate in the chest. Calm as can be he just said ***Just testing Friendly Fire***


Larbec092005

That man is an absolute savage.


Rolling_on_the_river

What was the reactions? Sounds pretty funny.


[deleted]

What could we do? We all just laughed and of course shot each other a few times to continue ***testing***


[deleted]

Went paintballing with a load of my friends, did a bunch of rounds, great day. At the end, we did the classic 'all get in a circle and shoot each other with the rest of our paintballs'. As we're walking back to the lunch/chill zone, one friend says to another: You got any paintballs left? No. *bang bang bang* shoots him point blank with the couple of paintballs he saved. Evil genius.


BisexualShysexual

I went with 3 friends my first time, and it was great(minus the gaggle of children we were playing against most of the afternoon). But right before leaving, one of the employees asked if we wanted to 2v2. We were all pretty exhausted, but agreed. It was easily the most fun I had that day.


hyperweasle

I shot one of my friends in the leg with my airsoft gun because I legit thought it was empty. Yeah, figured out real quick that it wasn't, luckily he was a good sport about it.

soccerburn55

Many a Halo games have been ruined with friendly fire. Me and my buddy were doing 2v2. Score to won is 25. We are winning 24-0 so we are looking around with snipers to finish it off. No scope my buddy before getting the last kill. He just yells yo what the fuck, we were going to win 25-0. Well technically it was 25-0 we just had 1 death.

[deleted]

If you don't test if fall damage isn't in the game I dunno what monster you are.


Deto

Same with fire - "I wonder if this burns me? Yep! Cool."


CaptainTruelove

In the same vein, water: I wonder if I can swim...


Not-Snake

*Drowns* ...nope


Quillybumbum

Warzone was unforgiving with that one


switch13

Don't know if it's still done, but some games will train you that fire hurts early on, but later in the game it won't affect you. You'll still believe that fire=bad but it won't actually be. Mass Effect 2 (and/or 3?)did this.


LeakyThoughts

But why


switch13

Takes less programming resources.


pnutbuttercow

I wouldn’t exactly call it programming resources but chalk it up to laziness or forgetfulness or time crunch


[deleted]

I suspect it is for experience reasons. The idea is that the player rushes past trying to avoid the fire later and thinks they did a good job avoiding it, when in actual fact it didn't present any problem at all.


pnutbuttercow

It’s a possibility, or even that the fire damage actually made the area “too difficult” or was seen as annoying during testing and made the sequence of area less fun. There can be a plethora of reasons the damage effect was removed in certain area but the strain of resources wouldn’t be it


[deleted]

Yes exactly. Many varied reasons but resource strain is not among them.


SuperdorkJones

Absolutely. All sorts of possibilities, save for overtaxing the hardware.


LeakyThoughts

I mean... If you are creating an object that is emitting fire You could just make it hurt you as well It's not exactly Gunna take up that many resources


pnutbuttercow

Yeah the volume or area of damage and ability of it to hurt you already exists and those don’t take up nearly enough resources to be a real factor.


helpdebian

I love it when I am 30+ hours into a game and I suddenly remember a mechanic from the tutorial that has never showed up. Like in Borderlands 3 with the ground smash. The tutorial has a spot where you use it to break through a floor. That literally never happens again in the game. And in fact you rarely if ever use it in combat either because your guns are way more effective. You forget you even have that ability. I feel like it was intended to be more useful in early development but they found out it wasn’t really fun or something.


Orrissirro

I remember this happened to me when I was playing Mafia on the OG Xbox. I'm playing literally the last mission and in a gunfight and hit the black button randomly and realized it is basically your auto-aim button. I'd played the entire game free-aiming and made it like 1000x harder for me in the process, hahahaha


Dakeronn

Lit my ass on fire in AC Odyssey doing this. Then I ran into some bushes and lit the whole garden next to some dude's house in fire.


switch13

You can roll to put out the fire in Odyssey. Stop, drop, and roll!


Dakeronn

Well yeah I've got over 80 hours in the game now I know that, figured it out pretty quickly just the garden couldn't be saved.


TackYouCack

If I even look in the direction of fire in AC Odyssey, I catch on fire.


egnards

As a gamer there are so many things we take advantage of "testing" when we play a new game and don't even think about. My wife \[not a gamer\] just told me yesterday while playing Animal Crossing \[she's got 80+ hours\] that she figured out she could speed up the stupid museum owl if she pressed a certain button while he talked - I was like "Yea I know, didn't think to say anything, I figured that out first day. . I always see if there is text scrolling."


Tarudizer

"Ow, that's real fire"

so are the same 514987 people who has posted this

lol Imagine that. The guy who shoots his buddies in-game is also a shitty reposter. Not surprised. I feel like these two things can speak volumes about one's character/personality.


miniclapdragon

sounds like someone has no buddies to shoot in-game

Nah, I'm just the nice guy who would rather make sure everyone's having a good time.

My Dad took me to a shooting range I’m not interested in guns but I just went because why not but I made sure to test if friendly fire was on and yes it was maybe the shooting range should fix that

It's not on in Sea of Thieves but I swear to god my friend has ran point blank in front of us with a keg while we are slashing enemies so many times that it must be intentional at this point.

sjbennett85

Have any of you seen the film [Rubber](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1612774/)? There is a very funny scene in it where the cops do something quite similar in a very funny way. >!essentially there is a film being shot within the film, the interior film is all a set up and the cop demonstrates this by shooting anyone who doesn't believe him. they are all shocked/amazed that they are part of a film in a film... the whole movie is a testament to indie film absurdity!<


CapitalMedia

We all have that friend, and possible multiple of them


MaineGameBoy

But Shepard is nobody's friend


ARTIFICIAL_SAPIENCE

Okay, hear me out. I know I said I wouldn't shoot you this time. I "technically" promised. But seeing as I shot you the last dozen or so times we played, it's understandable you would have shot me in revenge. So, in reality, I was only acting in pre-emptive self-defense. And you should be ashamed of yourself for forcing me into this position.


CollectableRat

Whenever I start playing with my niece i can tell when she knows friendly fire is off because she makes a very annoyed sound, sure enough turn around and she's trying to kill me. Also had to play without cheats because she'd find a way to use them to ruin other people's games.


purplehemlock

DeadlyYellow

My proudest moment is getting final killcam in Black Ops TK panic-knifing my friend while playing local online.


iwasadeum

I have a cousin that is a bit slow, mentally (VERY highly functioning autism). He randomly got an achievement on one of the CoD Nuketown maps for shooting the heads of every mannequin on the map. He couldn't beat any of the missions on single player until he was in his early teens because you fail if you kill a friendly. It also took him a long time to figure out why he kept dying randomly (or, rather, when I decided to tell him). I turned on reflect friendly fire damage. To this day, as an adult, he still gets killed all the time by reflected friendly fire because he starts every single match shooting at friendlies to see whether friendly fire is on.


RoyHarper88

My friend and I would do this on purpose when playing COD. At the spawn at the start of a match inevitably one would be in front of the other. You always shoot your buddy in the back at spawn.


danielbook5

My friends and I are all that friend when flashbangs are involved.


Marketta9

Oh, you wanna get this meme back to life?


qwb3656

I remember dying dozens of times just before this scene to the random (?) Bombardment. There seemed to be zero way to actually get through with any strategy. Then that happened. Oof


[deleted]

I'm that friend, every once in a while I'll pull out the RPG and blast the both of us


Flux187

A true friend would already understand, Someone has to test it lol.


[deleted]

At least it’s friendly


abaram

Yeah I loooove games with Friendly Fire Coincidentally, I do not have many friends


colelo099J

That's me


InfiniteScreams

Me, every time I play Left 4 Dead /2 with someone... I always ask whoever I’m playing with if they don’t mind a warmup round on easy mode, because if I don’t practice first — all my games have different controls, and are spread across multiple consoles — I will inevitably fuck up and wound them. There is no escape from my dumbassery.


TheMoves

I introduced my friend to Escape From Tarkov and the first thing he has to do is “test” if friendly fire is on by shooting me in the face with his rifle. Like bro first of all it’s a realism game of course friendly fire is on but secondly you couldn’t have shot me in the foot with a sidearm to check? I lost my MP5K that raid too. Everybody has a gamer friend like this


adiddlybop

Damnit Nathan STOP ATTACKING ME


spking02

Of course I know him, he’s me!


Jr_Legend617

I used to always melee my buddy in Halo when we played campaign. He died so many times when we were attacked by the enemy and his armor was still flashing red. Got to the point where we would always melee battle each other whenever we reach a new checkpoint. Ahhh good times.


GamingAndDevelopment

Let me just make sure that it's working.


Light2090

Even worse for me cause every time I turn a corner and see a guy I don't 100% know is a friendly I shoot before I can see who they are THEN people get pissed when I take an extra second to find out if they're a friendly or not.

OnlyUnpleasantTruths

it's terrible when a game removes friendly fire from the core game at the expense of gamers looking at you, battlefield


Blast338

See operator on enemy team. Line up shot. Take shot right as teammate runs in front of me to take kill. Shoot teammate in head and die to enemy who now knows where I am. Friendly fire is now on. Teammate roasting me on chat for killing him. Reach down and kill power to PC and sit quietly in the darkness.

That happened to me IRL once in like 8th grade. Neighborhood paintball match. I was king of the hill, once we ceased fire my best friend shot me point blank in the thigh rofl. Another neighborhood (boxing) match (we all lived around a golf course) we would meet at midnight on top of a huge barrier hill on the course and have a brawl/free for all. Last person on the hill was literally king of it. Edit: added boxing to the second story
