I bet having friendly fire in TF2 would be the biggest buff you could possibly give to spy.

Can't believe stellar's already reached the "Moved to Japan" era of his youtube career. Time usre does fly

Also, in deep rock there is no limit on how many times you can revive your teammates, meaning you could C4 your friends as many times you want and still win the game

The fact that I found this video by looking for a clip of Lethal Company where a guy gets freaked out by a spider, and his friend was in the way of the exit, so he with zero hesitation shot his friend point blank with a shotgun to get past him. It was hilarious and everything great about friendly fire.

Can’t believe this man clipped me on Battlebit. Still using the code man.

So nice to hear the correct opinion said back to you for 15 mins. Another great video

i'm so glad jay took a beak because it gave me time to watch nichijou and understand all the silly references

I love the friendly fire in Helldivers 2. I throw a 500kg at a swarm of bots, my friend runs towards said swarm of bots, they stop existing.

My favorite Deep Rock Galactic moment ive ever had was when the Gunner and Engineer both died in the same spot and managed to plant C4 on them before the Scout could get there. The stareoff between me and Scout was the longest 20 seconds of both our lives.

Step one jump Step two check friendly fire Step 3 check fall damadge

One time I had fun with friendly fire is when me, my cousin, who was visiting at the time, and my dad went to an arcade 1up. We played a beat em up Spider-Man game, where if there are no enemies on the screen, you can fight each other. Every single time we cleared a room or were told to move on, my cousin and I would look at each other and immediately start fighting each other. My dad would sometimes join in too.

i think the issue with friendly fire, is that its always funny the first time. And then as it happens more and more its just not fun. Getting domed by my own teammate and waiting to respawn isn't fun. I think i'd uninstall overwatch and valorant if that shit had friendly fire. edit: I think its different for games that r meant to be played with the boys versus games you play with randos. Getting team killed by a random is very rarely funny but when ur with the boys no one is trying to make others have a bad time.

watched a grenade bounce off a termanid in helldivers. watched it tumble gracefully through the air. remembered I was 3 feet from said termanid. was liberated. 10/10 please add even more friendly fire.

Literally what I needed rn

when you said "tether" I wet myself remembering almost cussing out my best friend for being so god damn slow in lego star wars

1:10 my mom was in the room 😭

As a big brawlhalla (another platform fighter similar to smash bros) player, team damage is an integral part of 2v2. If used well, team damage can let you hit your teammate back to the stage if they have no jumps to get there alone or stop their knockback as they inevitably fly towards the killbox with a weapon throw. However its important for balance because it makes team combos harder to pull off and as stellarjay said you have to be careful about spamming and your own positioning. On top of this some of my favourite and funniest moments in the game have come from me or a teammate either accidentally killing each other and throwing the game or thinking our win is so guaranteed that we stop 2v1ing the enemy and instead 1v1 each other leaving the last man standing to fight the remaining enemy. Needless to say ive lost a lot of elo from the last man standing not clutching up. But without team damage, the 2v2 experience would be so much less fun. Great video. Nice to see you back ❤❤

U can't not love this man's videos. Like damn, bro made something I get annoyed at feel important and needed 👏👏👏

I lile that in BG3 there's exactly one subclass out of 46 who's main features is that it removes your friendly fire and thus allows you to go completely nuts with the fireballs 😄

My only issue with friendly fire is randoms. Like you said people abused it and it was miserable because you either deal with someone ruining the game for you or getting kicked, thus ruining the game. I loved the funny moments team killing my friends in a call with me on accident, but with randoms that are for some reason so tempermental that even one stray bullet catching them will lead to them griefing the whole game its a problem. For example, I was playing insurgency PvE and there was a melee enemy about to stab my teammate in the back. I killed the enemy but a couple of bullets hit my teammate. He took that as an invitation to teamkill me every time I spawned for the rest of the game because "I didn't save his life, I shot him twice" since he didnt see the enemy

4:01 DID I SEE A ROCK AND STONE?

3:58 DEEP ROCK GALACTIC SPOTTED! ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE

Last month, I completed It takes two with my brother, and i loved sabotaging him in the chapter with nails, but seriously, by the end, the friendly fire turned off, and honestly, at that time the game did became a bit less fun just shows how friendly fire is very important

Literally the most underrated channel on youtube. And I don't mean it metaphorically or rhetorically or poetically or theoretically or in any other fancy way... Dead serious 100%, the most underrated channel on youtube. And yeah I might have said this to multiple channels before, but never have I ever *truly* meant it, and definitely not as much as I mean it here.

A random game called helldivers is fun just because of FF. It forces you into a top-down camera shared between 1 to 4 players and you can't exit the cam (you can annoy your friends by not moving and having everyone stuck). And the fun part: nearly every action you do can hurt your friends such as calling in equipement dropped on the map at mach 1 on your friend...

Deep rock mentioned Rock and stone commencing ROCK AND STONE TO THE BONE

Return of the King.

1:35 you made me spit my drink, well done sir

Helldivers 2?

How did you forget to mention the whole genre defined by friendly fire, the grandfather of it all, beat em ups? Literally fighting your friends when they piss you off to decide a feud during downtime with actual game mechanics designed for it is awesome

Talking about team damage in battlebit reminds me of a friend who became good at killing people in dayz on non pvp servers by finding ways to kill without directly killing them. Like posioning thier canteen or jumping out of cars he was driving or driving them into walls etc etc.

"taking the friendly fire out of halo is like taking the demitia out of joe biden" the single best quote in all internet history

Love how this came out just before helldivers 2

One of the best games that I played with friendly fire is Starwars Battlefront on Xbox. The Xbox before they knew there would be a second one. The way the ai is so stupid and unpredictable but also so sensible and organized forces you to stratigize everything you do or else you could let your team down. The enemy team is beating yours in a hallway? Grenade! But no, because you just blasted seven of your guys to Valhalla. You're trying to snipe, but you're in a crowd. It's ok, in fact, they could act as cover! They all run in front of your gun, and you kill them. It gives you so such a big sense of responsibility and the need to get good because if you're not killing the enemy, you're killing your team. And again, with the stratigizing, it helps immerse you in the game. It's literally Star WARs. You feel like an important figure in the midst of a war. (And it's funny as hell accedentally shooting your friend and seeing them on the leaderboard labled as nemesis)

As a Smash player, 2v2s without friendly fire are a race for who can choose the other team first

Friendly fire is good but abusable. Trolls join games and ruin everything

I was so confused when you talked about rope till I saw the Lego star wars. Then I was immediately flash banged by memories and rage

most fun thing to do in fortnite back in the day was to kill all ur team mates in a squad match then camp in a bush the whole game to jump the last 2 groups who are fighting each other and getting the win

good to have you back man!

It’s good until you get that one teammate who abuses it, then everybody abuses it and ruins the game

"friendly fire makes shit funny" -sun tzu, 2024

Please don't disappear for 2 months again, your videos are too good for that.

stellarjay understands show dont tell 4:55

So there this party game called duck game. And it's my favourite game. It's just so fun. And it has friendly fire. Witch is hilarious. Because you play a bunch of quick rounds and you're just a one-shoot with any weapon. Making it really easy to kill your teammates. Sometimes you don't think about the fact that you have teammates and just shoot the person close to you withch might be your teammate. This creates this fun dynamic of you being scared of your teammate because they might shoot you on accident. And there's also a little time between the round ending and you getting your point. And the thing is you can die then and not get a point. But you've already won so killing your teammates doesn't really matter then. But sometimes two people think that and just shoot eachother at the same time. Which is hilarious because they just lost a free point. I definitely do agree friendly fire adds a lot to games.

8:04 magicka reference, subbed

These clips are hilarious. Great vid!

me and my 5 stack in valorant ended up playing cs2 we ended up killing eachover till there was only 1 person who wasnt banned the biggest enemy in that game was OUR TEAMATES so while friendly fire is amazing just dont hand it to 5 idiots who are perma banned from cs2 comp

4:04 ROCK AND STONE

One time in Halo Infinite I was playing with a friend and he went for the sniper rifle. I was already standing over it so I grabbed it, stared at him and was like: "What, *this* sniper rifle? You want *this* sniper rifle?" We got killed after that.

I feel like the best way to balance friendly fire is the forgive system. Works both for the competitive and fun aspects. Also awesome vid, glad to have you back Jay. And congrats on the move to Japan !

I had an experience in helldivers 2 where me and a LEVEL 150 WERE HAVING A FULL ON WAR IN A WAR This started from us staring at eachother until HE initiated it by blowing my head off with a revolver, may i note this was the most fun i had in the game

Love your videos keep it up !!!

What can I say - team damage is just funny. I play dnd and in a campaign with my friends I am notorious for taking more damage from my allies than my enemies - as much as I hate being downed because of it - it is monumentally funny to die from fall damage from a crows nest due to being on low health from getting slashed and burned in the face from them - only to get back up again - only to get hit with "acid" splash - get crazy nightmare hallucinations - and then get abducted after falling off the side of the boat - and then getting my eyebrows singed off after waking up again, my character fails the insight check to realise it was a prank and I think they saved me from something

New super mario bros wii had one of the funniest friendly fires and it sucks that mario wonder removed it.

Planetside 2 has larger lobbies than Battlebit and still has friendly fire. And there's still absolute mayhem in big fights.

4:22 yeah, I am not drinking that in public

i like the way pavlov has ff because if you do it too much too fast it just kicks you from the lobby but you can rejoin, and pavlov has a vote system so if your a little bitch you can get kicked

You really should've held off doing this video for a couple months so you could've included Helldivers 2

I know for a fact you are gonna get more and more popular. you just makes sense in every video and im so glad i found your channel - a wizard of legend enjoyer

you know what would be cool playing "YOUR ONLY MOVE Is HUSTLE"

Here is a game without friendly fire. It is fully Co-op and doesn’t require a single fucking penny. WarFrame.

I pretty exclusively play Hunt: Showdown and they do friendly fire pretty well. You just deal less damage to your friendlies. So you can shoot each other for the shiggles without (usually) dying and ruining your run.

Friendly fire is important because it's a german charity live stream that is next week

God left friendly fire on and nobody can take that away from me

My man will love helldivers 2 one they get servers

This was probably one of the few important aspects of gaming that was ruined not by the company but by the community mainly trolls who find it funny to ruin their teammate's fun by abusing friendly fire.

I was wondering if Thestellarjay was going to talk about Lethal Company because of his video on proximity chat and co-op "horror" games. So when I saw the game in the first few seconds of the video I knew that he was already on it 😂

"Tactical shooters are slow and boring" Laughs in milsim

MOST VIOLENT BIRD IN THE UNIVERSE 💀

I’m real sad this came out before helldivers 2, it is the fucking best.

got so happy to see a new stellarjay vid in my feed

"just like my wet dreams it start with rope" bro what??????

Apex Legends has some indirect friendly fire. A lot of abilities have equal effects on teammates and enemies in all ways except damage (bangalore smoke, bang and gibby airstrike, crypto EMP, rampart wall, wattson pylon, etc), you can also knock teammates back with your melees (something my brother loves doing to me when I'm on the edge of rooftops), and teammates can body block your shots and abilities if youre not careful (every horizon player has whiffed an ult at least once thanks to it bouncing off a teammate who moved in front of them at the wrong moment)

Crazy how this video was released before Helldivers 2, you absolutely called it.

1 minute in and he’s already giving me flashbacks to when our younger brother used to just sprint through New Super Mario Bros levels for the wii killing all of us immediately. I couldn’t be happier right now 🙏🙏

While it still has the tether screen, helldivers is a great example of friendly damage. Teams naturally form a line or a circle to prevent casualties and you depend on them. Also, the tether adds an extra challenge to veterans, because 1-2 people are anchors and stay shooting even when it's time to leave the area with endlessly increasing enemies.

I think the tether was really funny because in The legend of Spyro dawn of the dragon, the tether was actually a part of the story and gameplay, which you sometimes would need to use to solve puzzles

The best thing about StellarJay is that he is literally never wrong about anything

Those old 2 player co-op brawler games always ended with a real fight after an in game scuffle started costing 1ups.

the rivalry between me and my sister when playing old lego games was the bane of my existance

i think deep rock galactic has a fairly perfect middle ground. most team damage is minimal enough that if you accidentally strafe your friend with an automatic weapon they probably wont die and even if they do they can be revived at effectively no cost, if you didnt have those features it would be prohibitively difficult to function in such a chaotic game, but there is an endless list of ways you can fuck with your friends for the funny, some more lethal than others.

teamkilling got so bad in my drg friendgroup that i made a fucking spreadsheet to record every teamkill incident, how many teamkills it was, who did it, the total kills, and put it all on a bar graph leaderboard type thing

Another funny bird man video. my day is happier now

Helldivers 2 funni moment from -the future-

So when's the Helldiver's 2 teamkill frag complementing video coming?

The ost at 0:22 to 0:36 is from an indie game but i can't remeber which one🤔 Edit: Little Nightmares 2 the secret area in the attic (also from 6:45 to 6:51 and 7:15 to 7:23 was from Little Nightmares 1 is outro and Kitana Zero from 7:23 to 7:38 and the mob psycho 100 training theme at around 3:00 and a couple of Full Metal Alchemist tracks ) yes i know i have an ost problem.

The Ness-Pyro joke made me laugh more than it probably should've

Magika 2 is the true essence of friendly fire

Good to have you back Mr. Jay

Friendly Fire is important for misinputs

Man, you coming at the right time.

I'm glad DRG made an appearence

I love it when I play teams in ssbu with my friends with team attack on. My teammate is more scared of me killing them then my actual enemy.

Dont forget about the irl king of friendly fire. The A-10 Warthog

Correction call of duty does have friendly fire but only in the hard core game mode

I think Foxhole does friendly fire very well. It serves an important gameplay function (gas, grenades and artillery will kill you, regardless of which team sent them), but you can still do it without getting banned for a laugh but people will know you did it and you'll lose weapon/vehicle privileges if you do it too much. Also, try Foxhole you'd probably like it.

I loved the pyro thing for ness

Battlefield is THE most important game to have FF on in, and Battlebit is the same.
