Old_Crow_Whiskey 119 Posted January 20, 2014 I was in a few Mexican standoffs just last night. They were all resolved verbally with all players going their separate ways. No injuries or casualties somehow. Deliberately putting a building or tree between the players fields of fire is a nice safeguard during negotiations. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hells high 676 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) I was in a very short one the other day. There was a geared and camo'd player sneaking around Solnichniy with his M4 raised, I peeked the corner and he pointed at me. So I shot him in the belly, he fired 2 wide shots and ran away. I later salined him and apologized. Edited January 20, 2014 by Hells High Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

klassent 28 Posted January 20, 2014 Oh dear... It seems a lot of replies here don't know what a Mexican Standoff is! :( Your cliche lesson of the day: we're not talking about a tense moment of indecision between two individuals, or two groups. The term refers almost exclusively to three parties, which brings the unique scenario that firing first is almost NEVER in your best interest. Assuming the shots are lethal and accurate, being the first to fire means you'll take down one of your two opponents, but the remaining baddie will usually get the drop on you before you can acquire your second target. Of course there are exceptions, and sometimes if you've got a real pair of stones you can pull it off-- but by and large, being the first to open fire still ends up putting you in a grave.

The answer to that is: shoot into the air...eliminate yourself as a threat and the other two kill each other.

Gekkonidae 270 Posted January 21, 2014 like the title says when in this situation do you A.negotiate B.ghost C combat log. As for me i tend to be able to negotiate. Bull shitting can go along way in this game in my opinion How about just shooting as many people as you can, and then get the fuck out of there, if you're still alive? That should have been option D. Usually in a standoff, i'll ask someone what they want and as soon as they start talking I shoot them. Best head start ever, and every bitch has something stupid to say.
