When I see someone using a redeemer and itβs nearby my spot I run up to them shoot them, and will return to my spot. Always worked out that way for me. So I donβt hate it when people are using a redeemer because sometimes they are just an easy frag. The only problem is, that when you are too late and theyβre have used their redeemer to hit someone, you gotta leave, otherwise it WOULD be an assault.
Yeah I get killed all the time by being shot close when flying. Since it's in the rules, no big deal. It would be cool if shooting it down did blow up the person flying it. Make it a bit more dangerous.
I've never really like the way the no telefrag works. Then if someone else is standing in a teleport and you go through, it kills you. This allows people to just stand in teleports. I would actually vote for the no telefrag to be removed. Otherwise it doesn't affect people much, how often do people run up and throw a trans at you? Except Bison in this case. π And it would be funny as hell then...
Allowing the close range shooting of someone flying does kinda muddy our definition of assault though. It's not allowed EXCEPT if they are flying a redeemer, sometimes may confuse people.
Tonight if I have time I will download whatever close kill mods I can find and see what settings they have, much as I hate more mods I am starting to think that if it can be set at the right distance this may be the way to settle a lot of the problems we have.
