What is your excuse for team killing?

[sirdanrhodes]

I am not saying that you do it on purpose, but on the off chance you do... what is your excuse?

Mine is I am red green colour blind, so if your a red with me, I am sorry in advance.

I don't play games where you can team kill. Too much of a pain in the ass to deal with those pricks.

Only two viable reasons to teamkill: they are impeding the team, eg. standing in doorways, taking ammo and not using it, etc. Not being useless. Being useless is OK. Being obstructively useless, however, gets you stabbed.

The other one is if they did it to you first as a joke. Then you absolutely must murder them back, no matter the time or place. In the middle of a game-changing fight with the other team is the most hilarious time.

I've never teamkilled except completly by accident..like firing a grenade or a rocket at an enemy too close to an ally.

Also I kill team killers.

And in some games, sometimes when i'm on edge and a teammate runs up on me i'll fire without thinking, on instinct. Usually this doesn't result in deatht hough.

My reasons:

1) "oops sorry man" or "why did you run into my line of fire/nade dumbass!?"

2) "stop being a team killing asshole *shoots him in head* told you to stop trying to TK"

3) "hey get out of the doorway....hello?...he aint there....*BANG* oh well, he should have gone afk somewhere else"

It seems that every team I've been on has some newb prick annoying enough for you to "accidently" nade him in the back of the head.

I never team-kill, even if I'm being fired at. Hell no, I'm not taking a penalty for self-defense! Sometimes though, I may accidentally kill someone if they get in my line of fire.

Usually it's that friendly fire is turned off.

 

[hagaya]

I don't team kill. Only happens in games with friends list peoples. Also, Sniping is a ***** when I have a six year old on my team *Halo, COD4, cough-cough*. They get in my way and then yell at me or boot me. I am straight, and my mother ain't fat.

 

[Spamwich]

Sometimes, I just plain get the teams mixed up...

 

[tijuanatim]

A group of friends and I were playing Halo 3 online, well our group got seperated and 3 of us were on a team while the other guy was placed on the opposite, Well the other three guys left the game (Not sure why) So in the interest of fairness I decided to 'join' his team to make it 2-3. It made for an interesting dynamic when the others guy weren't sure which Blue Guys they could trust.

Normaly its my dammed jumpiness resulting in the person on my team whos just made me jump gettinga full clip into the face and then another on their corpse just make sure other than that its people walking in the line of fire (esp when scoped in on a 6x assault rifle-rainbow 6 vegas 2) Excuses at this point are pretty much anything Marcus Fenix from Gears of War would say.
e.g Yell "Down in front" or "your getting in the way" or "Move!"

 

[Amnestic]

Enemies going around the corner and then popping back out as friendlies has caused me to unload a clip into them before. Generally I only teamkill as revenge for getting teamkilled first, or if one particular douche is just running around teamkilling everyone, I'll step in to help sort the problem out.

 

[Eldritch Warlord]

If they get in the way mostly, sometimes I do the counter-team kill if they're persistent.

For some reason I often throw a punch at someone not playing if I pass them, never kill them though.

 

[gerrymander61]

It's just too much fun. Seriously, I do it in Halo 3 all the time. My brother and I have it down to a science, where we kill our teammate right after he's been shot by an enemy, so the game gives us the benefit of the doubt by awarding the kill to the enemy, not us. This is best done with the sniper rifle, where you just shoot them in the body after they've taken even the slightest amount of damage. Oh, and it's not jsut limited to team killing: blocking doorways, blowing up team vehicles, wasting team resources, and carrying the flag away from the capture point are all good fun too.

 

[Beowulf DW]

My cousin and his friend formed a group called the Mafia Hit Squad (they now include me as member).

Whenever some one annoys us we kill him Godfather-style, whether he's on our team or not. No excuses, no mercy.

 

[x434343]

For giggles. No really, I do it to friends.

 

[MikeTheElf]

Whenever I team kill, it's always accidental. Unless I'm avenging my death by a teamkiller who specifically meant to kill me. Here are a few anecdotes:

1)I was sniping, finally got my crosshair on the enemy's face, I click the trigger... a teammate gets in the way. No, it's not like his leg got in the way, he was running by, and his head was in the way. In THE DISTANCE, close to my target. I was pissed, cus my target ran away after I finished reloading.

2)So I'm exiting the base and heading towards the enemy. This guy walks up to me and knifes me. He was on my team, but I figured he could've just been trigger happy and didn't notice we were on the same team. Okay. I respawn at the base, start leaving, and I'm knifed down again. Same guy. I'm a patient guy, so I respawn again and start to leave. Knifed down again. I respawn and leave a different way, knifed down again. I respawn this time and start looking for him, and Shoot him on site. Of course, he's evasive, so it took a few more seconds than usual to gun him down. Feeling accomplished, and down 25 points (-10 team damage, -15 team kill), I start out of the base, and there's an enemy tank heading my way. Considering I'm not equipped to take it out, I hide in a building and wait for my teammates to take it out, throwing a grenade or two from time to time. I exit the building and head out of camp, and the same loser that was knifing me before gunned me down.

(both events were on Battlefield: Bad Company)
