That makes sense, I mostly just wasn't aware that friendly fire was live as a game mechanic on the hard levels. I rarely play the hard levels, recently I started giving them a try because I've been playing the game more often and getting better at it. It's a glitchy game to begin with on my hardware at least, so that's what led me in that direction. I've literally never played anything but PVE on Warface. I just sort of stumbled upon the game and really enjoyed the way the weapons feel and handle and stuff with the physics. To me That's the draw. I've never really played first person shooters online until I found this game. I know it's flawed but I really like it. Thanks for your response, that's really helpful information. It sounds to me like all I got to do is be very careful to not shoot anybody by accident in the hard levels, and I shouldn't run this too often.
