Greif Points do they work?

You stop firing and allow him to be the meatshield for the next hit? - This would be no different to how I treat people who block my shot now, I use them as cover.

-edit

The more I think about this the happier I am, if he's -mobile- cover, even better!

Besides which it'd be 100/50 grief setup, or 100/30, so he'd still be dead in that case. You'd not do much grief as it'd take many such muppets doing that to bother your gameplay.

Unfortunatly the system is likely to remain the same, Thier is still the need to punish those intent on ruining others gaming but it means if you are not careful you will rack up points.

In all the years of playing PS1 my greif never got to bad because I paid attention to the battlefield, however when PS2 is released you can expect to gain more grief in first couple of months due to larger number of players in game and the 1st time players who have yet to learn co-ordinated attacks and will rush in.. good news is as time progresses the accidentul grief lessens.

i wonder if it'd be possible to have a kind of forgive system for the multiplier.

As it is now a couple of bad deci's in a few mins and your multiplier goes high, that means any stray bullets and the grief piles on.

I've had it before where i've fucked up awith a couple of bad grenades, took a bunch of grief, which is fair enough, but my multiplier was so high because of it any bad bullet gave +25, so you have to go afk for 30 mins so the multipler resets.

It would be nice if there was a list of people with current high multipliers that could be reset if a certain amount of players "forgave them" you'd still have the grief from the shots but any new grief wouldn't sky rocket the total.

Had a recent thread on this already. This pops up fairly often.
