Default What is telefragging? - 12-21-2002, 02:05 AM

When I see "someone telefragged someone" what does that mean?

It means that they were standing where someone else was going to spawn, I believe. And that in itself becomes a kill?

Ahhh.. ok.. so it's kind of a glitch or an accident. Two people in the same location.

Some people actually make a point of doing it... just go hang in a fixed spawn and wait... rack up the kills.

Telefragging - a glitch, the act of tossing a grenade by a player on the same team. Then switching teams before the grenade explodes, the grenade will then kill any players from your original side in the proximity of the shrapnel. Generally you’ll encounter “telefragging” in objective, where there is fixed spawns ie The Hunt.

That's what I thought, too. But like you, I was corrected. I think what you describe basically boils down to clever tk'ing when FF is off. Guys like that, though, should be shot, point-blank range, in the nut sack and then hung from their nipples off the Empire State Building. What you describe supposedly has a fix, I think by Dog Meat even. But my personal fix works so much better - BAN THE MOFO!!

Sorry Boo, he got ya, heh. But, you are still right.

Telefragged derived from Half-Life. It was a glitch in the early MP version that would crash your game when another player spawned on top of you at the same time, as Boo said. It was a common thing in alot of MP games; Quake 2, Jedi Knight, Half-Life, etc.

But in the MOH community, it means what Lion said.

Joe you are wrong heh. I've explained this many times before, and when you throw a grenade and switch teams, that is Team Killing. When you do what Boo said, it will actually show up in the log on top as a "Telefrag". So if you stand in one spot when you spawn, and someone tries to spane there, you will telerag them.
