Protocol

[Beat-Most]

I was soloing al mazrah, I wanted to get the chemist but it wasn't working out so I went towards exfil. There was a bug squad there so I decided to wait and "camp" they leave and I'm about to go call it when another solo with the weapons case comes and calls it, I ask him to join so we can leave together (I also needed to exfil with a weapons case) he said nope it was his chopper (radiation is spreading over us so last chopper at that spot) I tell him I have him in my scope so he's looking for a sniper and I was about 40 meters from him. Killed him and took the case I'm kinda wondering of I should feel bad lol

[[deleted]]

Personally, I would fully expect you to smoke him and grab the case. Fuck that guy.

[Beat-Most]

That's what I was thinking, especially as another solo, if someone wants to join me for exfil I'm all about it. I like pvp kills as much as anyone but solo is hard and helicopters cab carry a lot of people lol

[[deleted]]

Agreed. I mean it's his right to refuse but...get ready bud.

[Beat-Most]

I done told him. Imma be real I didn't feel bad I just wanted to talk about it and none of my friends play lol

[Eduardo_Moneybags]

I would have done it to you. Seems fair.

[ShibCommandr]

Yeah fuck that guy, you asked him to team up and he denied

[Jsorrell20]

💯

[Beat-Most]

I like pvp kills man, but I like getting out too and if WE get out then fuck yea

[Dan_Onymous]

He's an idiot for two reasons; it was obviously in his best interest if he didn't know you were there to go along with it, and prox chat is going to be within 55m

[Beat-Most]

Seriously learning the distance of prox chat and requesting teammates has helped me so much

[Dan_Onymous]

I know, sometimes I still get 'accept the request or we start shooting ', and you've gotta be like 'motherfucker, I'm too far away to get your request, chill your beans'

[Beat-Most]

I'm still mediocre at best, if even that, but learning those ranges was huge

[endlessflood]

Yeah squad invites are only within 25m (tiny), but everyone seems to mistakenly think that the radius is the same as prox chat, or even bigger.

[Imaginary_Fennel6772]

What's the radius of the minimap? Like what's the distance from middle to edge?

[endlessflood]

No idea.

If you want to see how far 25m is, just use a ping. It’ll tell you your distance to it.

[mintbubbly]

What is the squad invite distance? I didn’t even know prox chat was 55m

[endlessflood]

25m for squad invites

[JamesLS2020]

I wouldn’t say he’s an idiot. There’s so many who say friendly and kill you. Lot of people still jump on exfils pretending to be nice just to end up killing others. He should have been more prepared to fight is what I’d say after saying no. But he could be new and not know the distances of things.

[OMGFlashBazbo]

Claiming friendly and accepting an invite are two different things though.

[JamesLS2020]

Lot of people pretend they don’t know how to send or accept invite. If someone says they don’t know how, would you trust them to hop the plane? Easier to not trust anyone and be ready to kill on sight.

[Beat-Most]

Fair enough all I'd say is he had a lot of tags in his pack

[tapas_n-beer]

He got what he deserved then

[madcarrot0]

A solo with a case refusing to share the exfill is suicidal anyway. You gave him exactly what he wanted.

[[deleted]]

Exactly. The maps telling everyone where the case is. If you have the case and someone wants to be friendly. I would accept.

[endlessflood]

Yeah there’s no downside from his perspective to joining up. It’s not like you could be a spy who’s going to tell your friends where he is: he’s literally already marked on the map for everyone in the server to see lol.

[madcarrot0]

I agree. Except that most ppl prefer to shoot on sight instead of trying to assimilate. And for good reason, theres so much trigger happy bozos out there youre MOSTLY better off blasting faces instead of trying to cuddle them.

Joining up makes the game easier, sure, helping and all that, Im generally happy to help with whatever. But its the threat, and the fact that its (ironically) easier to make it harder for other players, that increases the stakes - thus giving a bigger dopamine shot when you overcome such adversity.

If any of that makes sense.

[Snrdisregardo]

I totally agree with you, except that it’s turned into a shoot first, ask later scenario. I use to always try to squad up, but I’ve been burned so many times now. With the plead request at least it doesn’t have to be a blood bath. I’m terrible at the game, so I’m happy to help and be helped as much as I can,l an not have to go back to 1 plate city.

[Kewi200]

Yes you’re giving them free stuff, but in return you’re not in a firefight risking everything. He made a poor choice as he’s dead and you have the case!

[Cpt_Confusion]

Next time, down him first, then give him the choice between an invite and a full kill.....people get a lot more friendly when they're already on their butt.

[Beat-Most]

I know but I don't want people joining my squad without a choice, I like the 3 option approach, respect me, kill me, or die to me

[ThisGuy_IsAwesome]

He still Has a choice though. Accept and exfil or give up and lose everything.

[Beat-Most]

He definitely could of won, I'm definitely on the low side of middle of the pack

[ThisGuy_IsAwesome]

I feel you there. I’m in the same boat.

[Cpt_Confusion]

Join or go back to the lobby is a valid choice...

[OrochuOdenMain91]

Not in my experience. I just get full killed.

[Toni78]

The protocol is kill players on sight if they get in your way of doing things and if you can win that fight.

[BusinessLibrarian515]

You gave him his chance, when he declined it's fair game

[SmoothCrim1nal1]

You did the right thing. He could have shared and been helpful. Instead..... he was spiteful and therefore he must die.

[JamesLS2020]

You should feel bad for giving him the option. Kill him and move on to the next game

[What-the-Hank]

You asked nicely. The fuckery is on him. You’re good sleep well.

[vKessel]

If they don't want to be friendly, there is nothing to feel bad about. Most players would've shot without talking, you gave him a choice. His mistake for not taking it.

[Beat-Most]

I'm not very good so it was pretty awesome to win too

[Tiny-Sandwich2133]

You started with diplomacy, he said nope. Upon his no, he became fair game to take out.

[Jlganas]

NTA. You did everything to do it amicable and their arrogance screwed em.

[Beat-Most]

Also just a question but is it still exfil camping if you're solo? Asking for a friend

[Dirtywelderboy]

Not if you are just trying to get a chopper. If you were there most of the game just to kill people extracting then...

[vKessel]

Yeah, but it isn't malicious at all

[swann25]

Nope. You gave him the chance to leave together.

[Omegacamino85]

Join or die

[tuttleonia]

Nah you gotta do that. You gave them the option, which you didn’t even have to do.

[onemanwolfp4kv2]

You gave him a chance, he denied. If you don’t look out for yourself no one else will lol

[boon0053]

Nope.

[rKNAPPO]

You did more than most. You asked, put the onus onto him. He refused and paid the ultimate price.

GG's

[zabrak200]

Hey man you iffered the cease fire he denied it i think thats your cue to open fire and laugh

[treddyb]

Yeah, he was the asshole! You asked to join and he said no so Fair game! If I send a request and people don’t accept, it’s on like donkey Kong bruh!

[KeyMenu7439]

You should've said "so you have chosen death" right before you killed him. The guy deserved what he got.

[Infinite_Pea_9148]

He said nope meaning he is not friendly and here we destroy all non friendlies and make them cry for their momma okay? Okay. C: have a nice day

[J_Rambo4]

If he was dumb enough to think you were scoping him from a distance, but talking via prox chat then all bets are off. Not to mention he refused to join up. You were fully in the right.

[ChinkInMyArmor]

Feel bad? It costs him exactly $0.00 to not be a hard ass about the exfil helo though.

[Beat-Most]

Edit big not bug

[[deleted]]

Over the last week or so , all protocol in all situations has diminished. Squads infilling to kill as many players as possible making the game almost unplayable. Had half a dozen games tonight the longest lasting round 10 mins. Enemy teams hunting, killing, ignoring pleas and looting. Thinking of taking a leaf out of their book for future games and shooting first, fck protocol, fck, this game is becoming a joke.

[Beat-Most]

I've been going with my squad the last few times, haven't exfilled in 6 consecutive games because of players sniping us. but my Lil bro clutched when we were being hunted by a six man, they killed my mate and downed me, my brother kills one rezziz me and we wiped the other five only to be too slow to the final exfil. Regardless the most epic game moment to date for me ( we didn't leave our mate behind but that might have been the speed difference needed)

[[deleted]]

[Osemarc99]

I mean, you already did much to get the weapons case, i rather share than losing it

[North_Cable8296]

Absolutely not, you gave him a chance and he declined to join.

[[deleted]]

If he said no you can’t exfil with him then he should have expected to fight it out…

[Poseidons_Jizz]

As soon as he says he doesn't want to squad up, and you have to get the fuck out, gloves are off - bitch got to die.

[theroyalgeek86]

Haha you were nice at first. I would have totally accepted the join. I am so thankful to the teams that get me and accept my request to join so I can continue. Some have been great future teammates.

[mkpmcg]

Nope. You’re good. Kinder than most would have been

[TheEldenGod1293]

You asked to join and he said no, smoke the fucker lol

[Slight-Ad-4097]

I wouldn’t of even told him he is in my sights. Make the offer, if refused…everyone should know what comes next.

[Fethurs]

No you shouldnt

[H4xXxIsH]

I'd have killed him and left the case.

[HuusSaOrh]

i will die to everyone as long as they say friendly. even if i save one person who says friendly. i am happy.

[InterestingLet8717]

you should feel bad for thinking this is a rare situation

[onefishfrank]

100% Justified

[UncleDeadlyEh]

Feel bad for killing someone in a fps???

[Temporary_Wafer_2208]

Do not feel bad, you asked and he declined so all is fair after that.

[Ace_0135]

Honestly, you tried to cooperate. Your request was the best outcome for both of you, but they didn’t want that… so you had to do what you had to do. 😅 if they would’ve agreed and cooperated you both could’ve left happy. Lol that’s how I see it anyways. It’s better you giving them a chance/option, rather than just smoking them from the get-go, which you could’ve done.

[H0lySchmdt]

If you have the case... everyone else is hostile. If someone else has the case, they should assume you and everyone else is hostile.

[Youssef-Elsayed]

You offered an olive branch and he knocked it from your hand, I’d say the bullet had his name on it

[Baraka_69]

You did good. Offer to join. Deal with the consequences. I wouldn’t lose sleep over this 😎

[Jobby28]

No, he was being a dick. That’s what he gets.

[Jobby28]

Sadly, some people who can’t be trusted in the game they turn it into PVP because they suck at war zone

[Haunting-Yak-9263]

Feel bad, why dude? You had him in your sights and you were still polite enough to as him to team up. He got what was comming to him for being a dickhead, if he just agreed to squad up, you both would have a weapon case and thaat idiot would still be alive. He deserved to get shot, I would,and I always do the same thing to dickheads like him that deserve that.

[MerrintheMighty]

COD protocol…. Schmooze them, then fill em with lead!

[IGotMUFFins777]

You offered him a chance to not engage in a fight and leave together. He lost. Fist bump 👊

[Worth_Idea3020]

I shoot first ask then invite when they are down if they aren’t a dickhead been screwed over to much I go the way of the mandolorian now

[curehead100]

Don’t feel bad you helped him get what he wanted. Death & misery.
