Hmmmm..did not know this. I wouldn't think there would be a difference but I guess I never really paid attention. Something to look into.

yeah ... that's why I'm making it publicly...
What can you learn from this?
-DON'T explode a barrel which is close to you with an orb.
-If you see someone near one...you might wanna shoot and orb instead of exploding the barrel in other ways. After all, making the enemy suicide is kind of the same as killing them. One awards you with 1 frag, the other makes the enemy lose 1.
-etc etc :P

You can teamkill when FF is off with barrels and orbs.

I instantly thought of a server but I rather just keep my mouth shut.
