Testing Your Conscience: Feet Through Walls

Re: Testing Your Concience: Feet Through Walls

like sacramento said, you should always be aware of what your body is doing while in the prone position.. i always keep that in mind. If someone else is doing it i go for the kill, because most likely he is in a better position to kill me if i try to kill him the "honorable" way.

Re: Testing Your Concience: Feet Through Walls

The player should know better than to leave his feet stickin out. I always take this into consideration when im proning in the hotel balcony or near sandbags etc...

Its part of the BF2 engine, whether its meant to be used or not, thats up to you. I personally dont enjoy using such exploits, but IMO if DICE or whoever is responsible for these things hasnt fixed it since last year then go ahead and use them. There fault, not yours. While some players do completely abuse the glitches we should also be mad at the makers of the game for letting it there in the first place.

Picture this scenario:

You're running up to a train boxcar. Someone is inside. It's a sniper. He has claymores on the entrances. He's too deep inside of the boxcar for you to shoot him from the outside. You have no grenades left. His foot is sticking out. You have two options:

a) Stab/shoot their foot and kill them.
b) Skip the kill or wait until an opportunity to kill him presents itself.

What would you do? Is an apparent game bug like this considered exploiting?

It's quite evident that there's no honorable "creed" that we can all agree to, since everyone has a different view on the subject. I say it depends. If it's a competitive match, you should take the kill. If it's not, just let it go and move on.

We all know that this bug will not be fixed because it's been around ever since BF1942. Can we fault a player for taking every opportunity that presents itself to win? Even if all he has to do is take a shot?

Discuss!
