I disagree. There should be the same penalty. Besides it is easier to TK by accident on HC servers.

I agree with TMD. With no HUD, it's much easier to confuse friend and foe. I think the TK penalty should just be much larger. Like 100 or something. If you're complaining that that's too high, then you're doing too many TKs. 100 points is a drop in the bucket unless you're just lobbing grenades everywhere.

100 may be too much. Once I got 4-5 TKs from a damage 2.0 because I threw a grenade towards the building to kill an enemy squad. Believe it or not there are some TKs that happen even if the user has taken friendly fire into consideration before taking action.

Over penalizing in a game can be just as much as an imbalance as too little.

No doubt it can ruin the game if you over penalize, but seriously, you had 4 or 5 TKs ONE time. Once. Yes you took the proper precautions, but sometimes it happens. If it happens too much, then maybe you aren't taking the proper precautions? I get killed all the time by people spamming nades into an M-COM when I'm trying to run in and defuse it. Maybe they think they're doing a good thing clearing the station off so I can run in, but I'm the one gunning down the last man and dashing in for the disarm. This is an example of when -100 points could slap someone in the face and make them think twice next time they blindly toss nades into an objective where they know there is going to be lots of friendly traffic.

I honestly would bet that I average less than one team kill for each time I turn on the game and play. As in like less than one team kill per day. Gimme -100 all day long for people jumping out in front of me when I'm laying down suppressing fire. That's a minor price to pay for exacting some Darwinian justice on the bottom fraggers on my team.
