yes, you are right.
and the rules for aa2 are not done by the IOC, they are done by the America's Army - and they are good, simple and enough at all.

i dont care about my "power". i can play on almost every server, i dont have problems with other server owners.
but i do care about restrictions at all. hope you understand that.

and as you can see i do not fight anymore, i just do say my point of view. as often as necessary.

In most cases I agree with you, I only disagree with banning people because they appear to be hacking, but when some people are just a pain because of their inability to be social, then they should look at themselves only.

true

Please.

You don't get banned because bugs exist, but because you exploit them (in your case it's the roof/escbld bug in hosp).

I've yet to see one person who knows how to replicate this bug.

I believe it's just a bug with the game. It's not specific to Hospital. I've seen players appear (i.e be invisibe before this) on rooftops on other maps as well.

By "replicate" you mean "use it"? If yes, you must be kidding me. There are a few smartasses who exploit it on a daily basis. E.g. Wickid is one of them.

I've watched them many times with ESP on, so I know what I'm talking about.

BTW, the best thing is when you hit them at the exploit point, they instantly start raging, because _they_ _knew_ they were invisible, so how someone dared to hit them. Hehe.

Of course it's a game bug, that's what are we talking about. And you are right, it's not specific to hospital. It's not even specific to roofs. It occurs at corners (west wing entry in hosp is one example). Not all corners, I don't know the exact condition (maybe mappers like Spanky/Eliz/... can tell what is specific at those points).

You are indeed correct. The "bug" usually occurs when the player is prone in front of a small ledge. The reason being is that in AA you essentially shoot from the very top of your head. There is a very small window where the player can still see over the small ledge while the other player cannot see him at all. This can be replicated in multiple other maps besides Hospital, Urban Assault is also a fairly known one.

As I wrote, I believe it's not about ledges but corners. At WW roof it seems to happen not because of the ledge, but because of the vent box.

Solution to problem: boycott the map hospital, or forceclass away all SF maps to normal M16 and let the new players get the feel of the game, and not get shot by 12 people on the opposing team 203 spamming or sitting crouched/prone zooming on 1 spot for 6 minutes. Hospital has always been a popular map, and is the main reason people don't play other maps, hence letting the new players, if there even are any at this point. Play more fucking maps.

Flame me.

Changing the weapon class is an idea I support. Not only for Hospital. If all maps would get another look at the weapon classes, I think there's a lot to gain there, as I mentioned before.

I tend to think beginners prefer to play with SF, seems pretty logical to me. It is a fact M16 require more "skills", that's why there is more chance beginners will get raped on a long/short distance fight with M16 because they can't really see the enemy or because they don't really know how to aim with it. Give them an SF and they got a big scope with even a grenade launcher, wauw.

Changing weapons won't attract players imo, but it could be fun indeed

Goes both ways, a beginner which has no understanding on how the game works has a better chance against someone using a m16, which is harder to aim with than they would being put up against an experienced player with an SF gun, which takes 0 skill to handle.

I don't know. Like I said the same thing happens in other maps without the presence of something like that.

Well... whatever the issue is, the original point was, that such bugs are intentionally exploited by some literally for _years_, and then they come to the forum with big innocent eyes, and say "it waznt me".
