hard to tell where on the map that is because of the rubbish ressolution
there are loads and loads of texture leaks in the bf2 maps, the major ones have been sorted but there are quite a few still remaining

its annoy having being killed by them and not being able to retaliate, but they're not breaking any rules really.. nothing specifically says you can't go there

Hi Iceman2005

By the looks of it I woud say its a map flaw, If he used a vehicle to jump on then gain access to the room of the hotel then its defo a flaw as we know lots of maps in differant games have the same problem Medal of Honor to name just one.
The way maps are put together it will be possible to shoot from the inside out but not the other way.

Cheers

the guy deserves a few kills just for figuring that one out. But thats really cheap, i remember people doing that with mortors in Battlefield 1942.
If you couldnt shoot out of it it wouldn't be so bad.

How the **** he do that? Ahhh.... :@

its called a map exploit and yes, it is cheating and deffo deserves a kick/ban if repeated...

Heres a quote from BF2 Rules of Engagement for ranked servers:
http://www.bf2rankedservers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=251

Quote:

§1.8 Players may not use or exploit game mechanisms to artificially boost their score ("stats padding") and Server administrators may not knowingly allow or encourage this activity on their servers.

This would include but not limited to:
§ Knife-Pistol-Revive
§ Knife-Pistol only Servers
§ Knife only Servers
§ High Points Servers
§ Infantry only Servers
§ No Artillery or Armour Servers
§ Using Vehicles removed from battlefield for purposes of artificially inflating points
§ Turning boats upside down and repairing
§ Glitching inside buildings.
§ Modifying game files for vehicles and weapons.
§ Items not included in this list would be up to EA & DICE to interpret.

Basically, most clans/ladders/game server providers would agree that if you can see through a building/wall/environment, you're in a location you arn't meant to be, hence exploiting the map. Since the new patch came out, we now have new ways to do this. Expect server rules to catch up sometime in the next 6 months (lol) before they explicitely state "dont use vehicle drops to get inside buildings"...

Until then, dont let some idiot get away on a technicality. Warn him on text, and kick/ban his a$$!! Razz

yeah we already have a PERM ban on our list from glitching, provide screens and a legible nickname and the player will be banned
