Bink when FF is off

Well the title pretty much says it all... I think this should be considered as a bug because when you have barret and a teammate binks you with an enemy near - you are pretty much dead.

Well, if you were shot in the rear by a teammate, even if it didn't hurt, wouldn't you jump?

but on the other hand it's not logical that you get binked but not loose health. the point of FF being off is so you can just shoot al around not caring for your tem mates. If I wanted to take carfe of em I would turn on the FF

Use a [knife].

Well, if you were shot in the rear by a teammate...wouldn't you jump?

If your sniping, you might be zoomed in. This would give your teammate the time to shoot you 3-5 times (rough estimate) before you could move. And if you weren't zoomed, there would still be bink from the original hit. You can't dodge 'em all. There isn't a Matrix Mode.

I support. There is nothing more frustrating than playing pubs where the only people shooting me are my own team while I try to snipe.

That's exactly how I feel. If your not going to have FF on, it should remove all effects of your teammates bullets. Not just damage, but bink.

no i agree
FF=0 is meant so that you join a server you don't have to worry about annoying noobs spraying everything.  That was the intent of FF=0 i'm sure - it should do the same with bink:  if FF is off, they shouldn't be able to bink you!
Can't think of anything original to put here...
