Rally Points in the sea, are they an exploit?

Spoons27 · 04-08-2007, 07:54 PM

Just saw this happen on Muttrah 24/7 and questioned it but no one was bothered. What do you think?

Sounds great to me. I would love to stand up on the docks whilst oodles of enemies spawn in the water and pathetically attempt to swim away.

Yes but I felt kind of dirty afterwards

Speaking of rally points, what bugs me was on Muttrah yesterday, on TG server while USMC, a ton of guys where seemingly spawning out of no where between a wall and a static car... After dying once from the spawning guys and seeing how they where spawning, there was a rally point inside the wall... What's tricky about that was, there was about 2 inches of the rally point sticking out... How is someone supposed to know that... I just owned them though with the M4 and put some SLAMs down next to the wall. Still, that is annoying...

the wall part is getting fixed (so i hear) but the water RP should be fine, only a few maps which it would be usefull in anyway

hey the devs are revisiting the RP set-up.

They most likly will limitit in some way to allow the CO instilations to have more weight on the battlefield. Particularly the Firebase (spawning in and special kit access for the next CP assault).

We should see things change quite a bit.

I did use a water-borne RP for a game of Jabal, over on the east beach, but that wasn't in the water, just on the very edge of the beach. So my squaddies'd get wet feet, but wouldn't come in drowning

You know what I do if I notice a RP inside a wall/unusual place?

I ask a question "Is someone in xxx side exploiting a RP inside a xxx?"

If the outcome isnt positive, I change sides and see which squad is exploiting the RP system, then I make a direct complain to SL about it in public chat.

Every time so far the SL has changed RP position.

Some people doesnt have even a common sense nowadays..

Yeah, that is very good place for RP, I'm doing that too, on Jabal.

If people can see your RP than that is not exploit for sure, in any way.
If RP can't be seen than that is exploit and simply cowardly way of playing.

Rallypoints in rivers/deeper water are a bit bugged, it seems like bullets dont do any damage to them, you can only destroy them with nades.
