Say you're moving in a team of randoms...

[ThermalReaper]

Note: This is a poll, I may or may not have problems with some of the character limit of any of the options which could cause a delay in posting the poll. If you are going to go "Hurrr durr no poll lololololo fail thread", I suggest you find the nearest window and practice the delicate art of throwing yourself out of a window and farting to boost your speed. You'll have fun, I promise.
I also have no idea how indoors are designed. This is a theoretical poll made out of boredom to see what humor inspired ideas(doesn't need to be functional, just think what you can think of.) people would come up with. Also to basti, goku and Hamma, I'm sorry if this isn't considered planetside 2 discussion.

So, say you are moving in on a base with some randoms and you spot a squad of enemies. Once you are about to fire, someone sticks his head in front of your sight. Do you:

Option 1) Shoot his head, he was expendable.
Option 2) Duck and shoot through his legs, hoping that 1) the game will allow you to do so and 2) the recoil won't force you to give your fellow teammate a BUTTload of bullets.(Get it?!)
Option 3) Move your lazy arse a few inches to the left or right.
Option 4)(Humor) Force the developers to implement a kick in the youknowwhat area of the teammate in front of you that can be used every 2 minutes, forcing him to crouch down for a small period of time.(Could be somewhat functional if thought out right)
Option 5)(Humor) Force the developers to allow light assaults, medics and engineers to piggyback on heavy assaults and MAXs
Option 6)(This would be option 6 on the actual poll) Your own opinion. Good ones(Regardless of humor or not) would be credited in here.

This is a semi serious thread. Post some humor(if the admins allow it, if not I'm changing this post) or your own solution to this potential slight problem.
If you are going to post a "This thread isn't needed", kindly follow the instructions on paragraph 1 lines 3-5 or stay silent. Thank you.
EDIT: The "someone" we are talking about is a teammate, in case you are feeling trollish.

I got a couple of TKs in the original game today - first because I was zoomed and firing and a guy strafed into my line of fire, then a second because my cross hair was clear but the gun was firing to the right of it.

Iron sights should sort this out as they will give you a clearer view around you while also showing you exactly where you bullets will fire from.

If I'm shooting a guy and someone pops up in my line of fire, well let's just say their head will hurt.

Solution:Never join a squad and never move with your team.
Always play a lone wolf

[Toppopia]

I will try moving, but normally people never stay in one spot too long so they will move for me, but i will normally try to move first.

[JimmyOmaha]

Depending on his timing it may be an involuntary option 1 :]

If I have time to react though; I try to get next to them and crouch so that they may get the idea too. That way people in the rear can shoot over us. Sounds like we're caught in the open in this hypothetical situation?

[Radaeron]

Typically I would just hold fire. Often Id be in a good position with good line of fire. Or the target has changed position.

Same goes for an organised squad. You can't avoid people running in each others LOS. At least not all the time.

No point wasting my ammo on friendlies anyway!

[TAA]

Its a judgement call. The vast majority of the time you move out of the way. Sometimes though your friend hasnt seen the enemy, and the enemy has seen both of you.

In a game where the bullets are deadly and it only takes 1-2 rounds to kill a player I would fire through my buddy without hesitation. Its either that or we both wind up dead. PS2 wont be that deadly though, so I would probably just move a little.

Damnit Dave, Let me have my humor thread.
Also, have you read my PM back on the site? It's important.

If you are dumb enough to run out in front of me when I am shooting then well...it will be a quick trip back to the re spawn tubes for you. Especially, if its some random who doesn't know what the fuck hes doing.

In any game, you always let teammates go first, almost always works. That way teammate dies, you then see where he died from, and proceed to kill enemy.

The average poster has clearly gone insane waiting for this beta. The quality of posts and threads has gone into the toilet.

I'm sorry I'm an average poster and not a very sophisticated high class flawless gem of a poster like you. (No offence)
But seriously, what's left to discuss? We have threads about the footholds, prone, sniping, cloaking, vehicles and other topics.

I was using average as a number in this case :| Average being around 50% of us.
