    It might be an "exploit" by your definition, but it's perfectly legal if the server rules says so.

      It's not an exploit by my definition, it's an exploit by definition.

      I also know it's legal, and i'm not complaining. I was asked for my opinion and i have given it, if you dont like it, you know what you can do.

      Spawn Camping is also "legal" if the server rules say so, what is your opinion on that?

        Well, of course, what am I going to do? Try and have their stats wiped? If I find a server with chronic roofing (usually on =DiG= winter server), I'll try to find another one. But Lord knows, it's hard enough to find a decent server without having to taking excessive roofing and pod-surfing into consideration.

          If the server allows it, and it's not against the BFRoC, it's fine with me. If you're being baseraped on a server that allows it, leave and find another one or just deal with it until the round ends.

            Unfortunately, the majority of the 2142 community shares your selfish, petty mentality.

            Baseraping isnt even in the same league as Rooftop camping. Rooftop camping is an exploit.

            Also, do you think that Rooftop exploiting is limited to servers that allow it? It's everywhere you go.

              Yes it is, otherwise people wouldn't be able to get on the roof in the first place. All Dice have done is make roof access difficult by normal means on certain levels. As Fish pointed out; you can get on the roof a number of easy ways such as with Titan pods and the helos, what you're arguing about is certain roofs on certain levels. If they really wanted to stop people getting on the rooves in those places they could easily enable instant death on roof contact.

                No, it's not. It's possible because of how it's been programmed. But it's not been programmed for the possibility. Understand?

                I dont think people getting onto rooftops where they dont have the means to even crossed their minds. That, and it's a lot of extra work to edit every rooftop on every map. You forget that developers are on tight budgets and tight deadlines, especially on PC format. It's expected that a game for the PC will have a certain amount of bugs, but we expect them to be ironed out with the release of patches.

                  Nemesis, you can whine and complain all you want, you will not change a thing.

                  as for the topic, yea its fun on occasion, but heres a fun fact:

                  oh snap, we got roof campers! They are spamming grenades we can't shoot them!

                  wait..could we possibly kill them back if we just get on the roof too..ingenius!

                    You must be confused.

                    I'm not whining, i'm just being blunt.

                    Also, i was asked for my opinion, so i gave it. Like i said to the other cretin who was too stupid to understand the concept of this forum, you know what you can do if you dont like my opinion.

                      Well I'm definitely not one for roof camping myself, but I am not extremely opposed to it in general, because the one on the roof is at a definite disadvantage by their silhouette being much more visible from a glance than those of the camper's targets on the ground (same goes for all rooftop sniping spots). If you want to fire a couple of rockets/snipe and make it glaringly obvious of your position, who am I to stop you? The placing of beacons on top of the actual roof rather than steering the pods though I am more opposed to as it can provide a spawn point for a squad to harass the other team until the commander somewhat wastes an arty strike that could have been used on the true enemies on the ground. The same goes for medic/support spammers as far as I'm concerned. Anyways, gripes aside, it is not nearly as bad as most other exploits or cheats and it will be pretty rare if existent at all when the new patch comes out.

                        If DICE intended for people to snipe from rooftops they would have at least placed ladders on some of the buildings.

                        I wish that you could get inside some of the buildings like you could in BF2, a grapple hook and zip line would also be welcome.

                          this was suppose to be a mature debate so why do you resort to name calling? Try acting like an adult then your comments may be more constructive.

                            Lol, this has been a mature debate, except for the few idiots that come in and see my opinion, dont like it and assume i'm whining. I'm simply stating a fact when I call that person an idiot.

                            And the person that resorts to exploits/base raping etc, does have a selfish, petty mentality.

                            Do you even read the posts i respond to.

                              Judging from all the flaming going on around here it must be that time of the month:p.

                                If you suck so badly that you have to pod your way up onto the roof of an otherwise unreachable rooftop, then you suck and are a bad player.

                                Rooftop campers need to L2P (learn to play)

                                Plain and simple. No respect for anyone who does it.
