Sometimes I like to mess with my teammates. For example, I'll walk right up to one and shoot him in the leg with my pistol. Usually he won't see it coming and will either prone or take cover, probably because he thought he was being shot at by an enemy sniper. I'll then walk right into his field of view, and them shoot him once more in the leg with my pistol, making sure he sees me and knows I did it. Now, I've only done a couple bars of damage, but that second shot for some reason causes my victim to go over the edge and mow me down with an AK...getting credit for a teamkill. It's pretty obvious that my teammate would do this because he feared that I was trying to teamkill him, BUT here's the part that confuses me: 9 times out of 10 when I do this, that person will not only teamkill me, but run off and teamkill 4 or 5 more people before getting kicked or banned. Now this is usually an honest player who has a decent kill to death ratio and was playing the game normally until then. You probably have at least witnessed this on the Wake Island carrier. Everything is going smoothly and it's a close match. Then you shoot a guy waiting for his plane with your pistol, and he goes on a rampage and kills 5 more people on the deck. It's not just people he thinks are trying to take his plane, but he will actually run well out of his way to kill people waiting for blackhawks, cobras, etc. So, my question is, what causes this normally polite player to flip out and go on a TK'ing spree after only 1-2 pistol shots to the leg?
