Yelling "out" when you've been barrel tagged serves only as a cheat to alert your team to a concealed player AFTER you've been eliminated.
Also the usual rule is the player must have a barrel 10" or longer and verbaly identify "barrel tag" when they "barrel tag" someone to be a legit kill. If they don't verbalize "barrel tag" specificaly you can toe the line and shoot them, if they don't have a 10" barrel (or full marker) its not a kill.
But yes, being angry and shouting "Out" so that your team homes in on a concealed person after your dead, to get back for the sneak kill is considered bad sportmanship. |
Sorry to bring it back up after a few days...
Thanks for your POV!
I guess just don't get how it would give an opponent away anymore then if they'd been eliminated via a normal means (being shot).
If concealment is the main concern then if I'm hit by a: sniper, trap paintmine/gernade, rocket, or other prop related to the scenario, etc. then I should walk off the field w/o verbally giving voice to my elimination.
Now if you'd tagged me and I turned around and said something like "Hey man! Nice tag, you got me good!" (even in a less then a raised voice) then for sure I'd say you'd have a definite reason for being disappointed by my actions.
