This is so stupid, B class are two for both sides, It couldnt be called and exploit, because was one feacture from the original game ...

Ah ok, so the roofbug is also not a bug cause its a feature from the original game.
Oh wait, lets talk about pronebugging and whatever more whats been fixed...

No, what he is trying to say is that an exploit is something that is in the game that the developers didn't intend to be in the game. The advanced marksman "exploit" isnt really an exploit since it works exactly how the developers intended it to work, people just abuse it.

 While I don't believe it is an exploit I do agree with it being removed.

The parental control isn't an exploit. However, players are exploiting the option to get an 18C gun instead of 18B. These players are not turning off advanced marksmanship for the reason the devs intended. Therefore they're exploiting the option.

Technically the "roof bug" isn't a bug at all. It's just a product of the way the game is made. Players don't actually disappear, there's just an instance where you cannot see the other play and they can see you. Another example of this is the ledge at bravo hole on Urban Assault. In AA you shoot pretty much from the top of your head, not where your gun actually is. Sometimes if you have the high ground, this will result in the player with the lower ground not being able to see the other player, while the player with the high ground can see the lower player. It's just how the game was made. This usually only occurs when there is a small ledge in front of a player, which is the case on hospital and Urban Assault.

please due correct me if i'm wrong here

how is everyone considering this to be a exploit???

when in fact when the game came out, u where given a choice from sniper rifle to 18 c gun, so by turning off parental setting u got a c, and not you got sniper,

I see no big deal some like sniping alot of people don't like using sniper rifle, so why has this become such a big deal???

2nd

I thought it was agreed upon any type of changes to game that we as a community would start a vote to make it official???

far as roof bug what ever u wanna call it, all I will say is bla bla bla bla bla, people need to know the difference from exploit and bug, tired of kiddie admins kicking and banning players and flashing there stupid messages threating players not to use roof bug, bla bla bla,....

btw if stands eliz if u wanna ban, its a atas member so let the ban hammer be in place :censored: :censored: :censored: :censored:

Clearly stated by AA Dev Pye that it was not intended to be in the game:

We found it, but not soon enough to fix it before shipping.
Quote from: 'Pye
To be clear: it is a bug. We don't like it.

I've been told that the bug was fixed in later versions of AA2.x, so I have no issues on standing my ground on this.

It was indeed fixed/changed in later versions.

You could still do 'no Advanced Marksman' , but it would give you an m16 instead (on all maps I believe).

It is an exploit, just because many players are using it does not make it less of an exploit.

It's funny that some of the players who complained that some people are ini tweakers etc are the ones using this bug.

While we're at it. Would it be possible to give 'no gun' to people that haven't done their sniper training and get sniper forceclassed. Hope you see what I mean. For now, those people get m16 in sniper rounds, it's a bit ridiculous

I think as AA moves on, the issues will be fixed as well.

No, that would be awful. It's not the player's fault the admin decided to forceclass. Why punish them? Unless it's clearly labeled as a FC server, that would be very unfair.

But it could encourage them to do the sniper training ..

People continue to come back and play this game because its still the Best AA Version to date, There are many bugs in the game and has been there since first release and as far as im concerned if you start tinkering and trying to take out every single little bug the game becomes boring and you start to lose the players who like the game for what it is. Before the flaming war begins i dont use either Exploit and most players of the game knows how to avoid it so please guys focus on the important issues of the buggy Assist Loader and the Pb problems you currently are facing at the moment.

Simple fix.. All server Owners Enforce a law on there server to not use it.. if used Kick/Ban and lets not stuff this great game up with Fixes that are useless in the whole scheme of things.

Your post makes very little sense. What's the difference of us enforcing the rules and server admins enforcing the rules? It's better for Assist to do it because there is not always a server admin on. Also, how does getting rid of exploits (which most people hate) make the game boring? Did you have fun exploiting? Or did you just have fun bitching about people exploiting? What about the exploits made the game more fun to you?

Also, there is nothing wrong with PB. PB is how it's always been. and how is the Assist loader buggy? This forum is here  for a reason, and a major part of that is to report bugs and problems. Don't complain about bugs you never reported.
