The big problem with FF off is damage control. It really is extremely hard not to accidentally kill your team when u have rockets, demo nades, inaccurate weapons, sentry guns, AND people looking for spies. The one time I found a ff=on server it wasn’t as fun as I thought it would be. I personally don’t mind that they took ff out of the game. I got around 21 hours logged as a spy and I still do pretty well in most circumstances. Originally I was a huge supporter of ‘hey lets turn FF on for spies!’ However, after playing on that server I really got the feeling that it took away more game play than it allowed.
Either way ff=off permanently for now so it is a moot point.
