Yeah, I don't want ff off. it's a challenge sometimes to not kill friendlies with a mortar or when they run in front of my line of fire. I think it fits the theme too well to not be part of the game.
You would expect a lot of FF incidents from the minimal training helldiver's get before being dropped.
I haven't played Helldivers, but I feel like that would be like turning off friendly fire in Mech Warrior Online. There's a reason that you take penalties for shooting friendlies. That reason is rule #3, "always know what is behind your target." or frequently in this case, in front of your target.
The penalty in Helldivers is quite low and only an "uh no" once the mission timer expires, unless you die a lot.
It's pretty damn funny when it's accidental, unless constant.
