So turn it off! What are you - some kind of masochist?
I came on for a round of EST. I died three times in quick succession, and two of them were TKs! That was enough for me...
FF has never bothered me one way or the other in previous BF games, but I'd sooner not play FS at all than play on a server with FF On. It's not the mines or other explosives on the ground maps that bother me, it's the space maps. It was never a major problem with, say, vanilla BF2, because you never had more than a couple of aircraft per team, so impacts were rare. Get 12 or more TIEs buzzing around and it's TK city with FF On. You only have to 'kiss' a teammate's fighter and you are both dead – and perversely, you've just cost him 3 points.
If a way can be found to eliminate friendly collision damage (within reason), I'd be quite happy to play with FF On for everything else. Until that happy occurrence, you know where to find me...


Mmm... vanilla!
