It just sucks when you clear a room full of guards and then you get killed by a grenade from your allies. Friendly fire brings about a level of strategy in positioning/defending/attacking/whatever since you can’t just turn corners with your guns on full auto or spray around your allies trying to get that guy behind them. Kind of like an In-law that cooks your favorite food to your specifications but has a habit of annoying you the entire time you eat it. Not only is it a little jarring if you have played other common FPS games, but it is also both welcome and annoying.
(Also gone are most “Rambo” moments when you jump in front of your teammates to provide more gung-ho firepower.)įriendly fire is indeed very present in this game. Gone are the days of simply turning the corner and blindly bursting in with hopes of bringing down some unlucky enemy.
