— A British soldier when on the receiving end of friendly fire in Battlefield 1942.
Friendly fire is a term applied to any deployment of a weapon or weapon system that (usually unintentionally) harms friendly or allied forces. More than one person has drawn attention to the irony of this term by pointing out that firing upon anyone, allied or not, is generally considered a pointedly unfriendly act. Casualties caused by friendly fire are sometimes referred to as blue on blue casualties, due to the common practice of representing friendly forces with blue symbols and enemy forces with red symbols.
In Game
Battlefield 1942 & Battlefield Vietnam
Friendly fire is a prominent part of Battlefield 1942 (and its expansions) and Battlefield Vietnam. In the singleplayer mode, friendly fire is always active. A player can kill any friendly target just as easily as they can kill an enemy target. In online servers, many will have friendly fire turned off, but for those who have it on, it may result in a kick or banishment from the server, especially if done extensively and often. A team kill will subtract a point/kill from the player's point and kill counts respectively.
Battlefield: Bad Company
In Battlefield: Bad Company, friendly fire plays its role. Generally, any attack on a friendly target will do half the damage that it will normaly do on an enemy. Usually, when a player attacks another, the in-game character will announce that the player should cease firing or be careful where they fire. It will result in a -15 points for friendly damage and -30 points for a team kill, as well as add a team kill to the players stats. There is no kick/ban system, so team killing can become a large nuisance. Accidental kills can also be frequent, especially when using a high speed or large vehicle, a player can easily get a roadkill on a friendly target.
Battlefield 1943
Battlefield 1943 is completely void of friendly fire.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
On the Xbox and PS3 platforms, friendly fire has no effect in the regular modes of the game. Shooting a friendly target will cause the character to flinch and complain but not suffer damage. However, it is possible to get friendly-fire kills with Destruction 2.0. If the player destroys a building and a friendly soldier is caught within the collapsing structure, the friendly player's death will be counted as a team kill, along with the subtraction of points associated with team killing.
Hardcore mode features the full effects of friendly fire. All weapons will damage friendly and enemy targets equally; players must be careful about whom they shoot, where they deploy explosives, and where they're driving.
On the PC platform, the effects of friendly fire can be enabled by the individual server administrator. Team kills will garner the offending party a penalty of 100 points. Most servers keep the effects of friendly fire disabled.
