FF - FF is short for "Force-field." It takes the form of a light-blue bubble around your character upon spawning in. The force-field will disappear when you move. When in the force-field, you have permanent I-Frames and cannot take any damage. Due to this, other players will attempt to "FF Push" or physically push you out of your force-field. This is a ban-able offense. Some players will instead attempt to fool you into leaving your force-field in order to attack you when it no longer renders you safe. The force-field system was generally made to make spawn-killing impossible.
