Killing of Hostages by Ts

[Bauer]

I can't stand it when the Ts kill the hostages on purpose at the very beginning of the match. Is there a rule against this?

I know it takes some of their money away, but if they win anyway, then it's not that big of a deal. There have been several occasions where Ts killed off the hostages and camped in various locations so we had no choice but to go out looking for them.

yeah, the one night i was playing and the map we were all currently playing was havana, and every single round the t's would immediately kill the hostages, literally dooming all of us ct's

There really isn't a rule against it but some servers would used to kick a player after so many hostage kills.

But with some players hiding behind hosties. *cough*BullUSMC*cough* It would be a bad idea to have that rule, IMO.

in the old cs wasnt it possible to apply a hostie kill limit before getting kicked. I thought that you could kill up to 4 or 5 without getting kicked, which might be effective against the strategy mentioned above. Is that option even implemented into source yet?

Yes, but the only map I really see a problem with hostie killing is Havana. Normally after one or two CTs get past the entire T team and rescue the hostages. But, I'm also the kind of player that doesn't care if you have hosties or not. I will fire through the hostage to kill ya. The monetary penalties hurt enough.

Yeah, I understand. It's not that big of a deal when they are killing in a fire fight or something. I just don't like it when they're killed right at the beginning before we can even leave spawn.

IMO killing the hostage sort of ruins the game because the CT have no mission at that point and are free to just camp around.

The Source engine is supposed to kick after 2 kills by same player on a map, but it doesn't . We're not sure why.

I got kicked by killing two hostages, it was before the match started i was the onlyone that spawned (glitch?) shot the two hostages and :thumbsdown: kicked.... wont do that again. it may have a time limit between killings?
