Bug FFA first kill

I've noticed this too, I just think it's there to prevent spawn killers at the start of the game.

 

Yes this bug is quite annoying, but I do think this has been reported before though. What I do to get past it is kill myself and then try to kill someone and it usually works you may want to try that.

 

Actually after 7 seconds when the game starts, you can be able to kill now. Same with gungame.

 

Yes, I wonder if that's to prevent spawnkilling? Either way, it is irritating at the start of a game.

 

There is nothing wrong with spawnkilling in FFA. It just proves your epicness. Needs to be fixed. NOW.

 

Yes I have seen this too it is really annoying ;-;.

 

its really annoying

 

The bug, (in my opinion) is half annoying. Sure, you aren't able to kill your opponent (and it counting as kill) in the first few seconds of the game, but that gives you time to get organized and ready. What I like to do (as does Gynamo since he did this in a video) is that we run into people and get ourselves killed before the 7 seconds is over. The negative side is that if you want fast kills and you kill several people before time is up, then you wasted your ammo and may be down some health. Once I tried to see how many kills I could get in that time and when I got to 4 the kills finally started counting. Finally, I think that this isn't a bug actually, but something that was implemented. Orange probably had his reasons for this to go in too, one being spawnkilling. Nobody likes an extra death from a spawnkill.

 

It usually takes me about 7 seconds to die, so i just run into everyone like a lunatic before 7 seconds passes v:

 

I haven't noticed since I rarely get the first kill, but it seems like it is a bug that needs to be fixed.

 

About when there is 370 seconds left is when the guns start killing for points.

 

I believe the reason that this exists is because on servers like 1, like 20 people spawn at the same spot. The reason it was invented was so one person could not finish the game in like 10 seconds. Example: On lockdown, 25 people spawn in the underground hallway area. One player has a mini gun. This layer quickly hides behind the tree, then aims at the hallway and unloads. He gets 14 kills in a matter of 5 seconds. It was made to prevent this I believe. The only way to fix this would be to create more spawn points, but there still might be some overlapping spawns. Honestly, I do not mind it. I get away from the heard, count to 7, then I start killing. I would rather have the seven second grace period then not have it, because then any FFA or gun game would end quickly with the right players.

 

Exactly what he said.

 

True...

Sometimes though when an FFA game starts everyone will spawn near each other so maybe that prevents it from happening.

 

Doesn't count. Remember, you don't get the kill, so no death.

 

It's 7 seconds of resistance to give a player with lag a chance to spawn in properly. But I usually take that time to die as many times as I can :3 For it doesn't count as deaths
