What is the point off friendly fire? There is so many idiots that do it on purpose and it is so annoying.But also you might do it by accident then you get shouted at for it so why have friendly fire?
Why do games have friendly fire?
- Thread starter shoot and hope
- Start date
A touch more realism perhaps? Adding an extra layer of skill, so that you have to take care not to hurt your teammates?
It's realistic, and you can't simply shoot through your teammates while staying in considerable safety from enemy bullets. And you have to think whether it's a good idea to go fucking Rambo with a machine gun or rocket launcher in an enclosed space full of allies.
Friendly fire is AWESOME.

In a bad attempt to be realistic the silly game devs decided to add in Friendly Fire. Little did they know the plague of twats they would unleash on the world. All I can say is thank god for dedicated servers on PC and being able to turn it off or put it on reflect. Reflect fire is awesome.
For some reason they assume there aren't any idiots playing, so they add it to discourage wasting ammo shooting at your allies/team mates.
When playing tactically with friends, it's great. When playing with foo's it isn't.
Most games are based around you being expected to play with friends I guess, and it just gets added in.
Personally I like it, I don't just shoot, I have to check who I'm shooting first.

Because without it, people could etc etc etc.
The reasons have already been said, and there's nothing really to add. Realism, discouraging grenade spam, encouraging proper use of rocket launchers, etc. Even unrealistic games like Left4Dead benefit from it (especially how on higher difficulties, friendly fire does more damage, forcing you to really watch what you're doing).

Because you need to discipline gamers some times. If someone kills me, even by accident, he's going to die...alot.
