Finally lots of players are clueless. The only way to avoid any chance of someone jumping right in front of your fire would be to not shoot if in a group of more than two other players.
That is grossly overstating. 2. More accurate would be, "don't group up with people you dont know have a clue"
1. I do check my tacnet, I am often in place or on point, then a random (not a squad or corp member) blufor runs out in front of me when he was behind me anywhere from five/ten feet to off the radar. I am not firing over his shoulder. I am also not worried about people fleeing towards me, I can see them. It is people who come out of nowhere from behind through the middle your firefight. I also can't see the map and use a sniper rifle's scope, last I checked; next time I play I will make sure. If you make a wide radius with everyone behind you and too close, and some one stills tries to run out in front of you when you have already opened fire, I am hard pressed to see how you are at complete fault.
Usually a round or two at most hits, but eventually something is going to happen to a surprising amount of players. Say someone rushing into a friendly's lane of fire while being hit with lots of enemy fire, the enemy gets an assist and you get a tk. Also what about weapons that physically can't stop or are high damage/ one hit kill weapons, such as the burst weapons. What do you think will happen if a blueberry runs from off screen into the path of a burst hmg right as it starts it's forty round burst? If it is like the burst rifle, it won't stop firing when you release the trigger. Or someone darting in between two people in a cqb firefight when the friendly one has an breach shotgun, say either on flat ground when the team member is aiming for a headshot or when the tk bait is in a militia or basic scout suit.
2. I am not in a squad with them, the matchmaking just happened to put us on a team. And being on a team means that you work together sometimes to take an objective even if a lot of the team tends to lemming rush into enemy and friendly fire. Otherwise, I suppose we must try the strategy of the whole team breaking up and going after completely different things and see how that does(n't) work. |
