-[[Friendly Fire]] modifies the way players can engage in [[Aim & Shoot]] activities as part of [[Combat]] while playing [[Multiplayer Games]] with [[Teams]]. The risk of hitting team members, either other players or [[Companions]], make [[Friendly Fire]] give more [[Challenging Gameplay]] while at the same time supporting [[Thematic Consistency]] - at least in games which try to simulate real world weapons. When optional, selecting [[Friendly Fire]] in [[Teams|Team-based]] games is one way of setting [[Difficulty Levels]], or as an alternative [[Friendly Fire]] may not be present on easy [[Difficulty Levels]].

 [[Friendly Fire]] can easily spark of [[Internal Rivalry]] in [[Teams]] and create [[Scapegoats]] for [[Teams]] failures, but also make it difficult to maintain the rivalry for a longer time since violence can end the conflict quickly. When [[Friendly Fire]] does occur but fails to create these effects, in can instead create [[Spectacular Failure Enjoyment]].

 === Examples ===
-Most examples of [[Friendly Fire]] do unsurprisingly come from combat-oriented games, mainly [[:Category:FPS Games|First-Person Shooters]]. The [[Left 4 Dead series]] has [[Friendly Fire]] except on the easy difficulty mode, [[America's Army]] has it as a consequence of wanting to be realistic and harshly punished players who do it, and it is available as server-side options for the [[Team Fortress series]]. It exists both in the early isometric versions and in the later 3D version of [[Fallout series]], but here it is not other players but companions that can be the targets or perpetrators of the [[Friendly Fire]].

The [[Battlefield series]] has [[Friendly Fire]] in different varieties for each game, sometimes having it deactivated as default, sometimes letting it have less effect that enemy fire. It exists both in the early isometric versions and in the later 3D version of [[Fallout series]], but here it is not other players but companions that can be the targets or perpetrators of the [[Friendly Fire]].
 The [[Dragon Age series]] have [[Friendly Fire]] in the same way as the [[Left 4 Dead series]] - it exists on all difficult levels except the easiest.
