this is directed towards both players AND admins


there seems to be alot of confusion over this right now.. so I thought i'd try and straighten it up a bit...


NOT A RULE: NO WALLSHOTS ALLOWED

ive been hearing this on the server for days now.. that just about ANY shot thru a wall gets a 'against the server rules' comment..

Did i make this rule? no i dont remember that at all...

tho i mean i have no problem with admins enforcing rules how and when they want and all that jazz.. thats why the rules listed on the server are pretty open to admins interpretation but to say something like this i believe is a bit drastic..

as i myself kill ppl thru walls on an occasion.. and damage people thru walls probably everytime i play..

so hearing admins telling ppl not to shot thru a wall again I think is a bit much.. it makes us look like idiots.. where killing someone thru a wall.. could get you kicked etc..

even the other day an admin told me not to wall anymore (tho i assume not knowing it was me heh) when what happened was i was in the apartments.. shooting at someone.. they ran thru the door.. so i shot a couple garand shots thru the edge of the door (idk its like a 2foot length of wall) and killed them... i dont see how anyone could say thats not allowed...

but thats not important

and maybe i wasnt clear.. maybe i said something totally different.. and maybe i stated something that only pertained to one person.. (most likely a person who is treated on a level below the average player) so anyways.. im saying this now:

SHOOTING THRU WALLS IS ALLOWED

but

*camping behind walls and shooting ppl thru them is not.. as this would be covered as well by the no excessive camping rule... this also most def covers if you camp behind a wall that is not accessible to the opposing team and shoot thru that... example would be in the axis house (tho say you in the sniper window and you move over behind the wall and shoot at some point killing someone (but dont camp etc..) i dont see a problem with that..

shooting usual camp spots before rounding corners etc is alright too... say your going up to the red room.. ppl always camp in that corner in there.. shooting the wall as you get up the stairs.. whats wrong with that? your on the move.. your going in that room.. you know theres a good chance of some n00b being prone in that corner...

but again.. sitting in the chair room at the brit apt entrance and shooting ppl thru the wall at the brit 2nd flag constantly is something i can see you getting told to stop.. or kicked..

and say your an mg.. whats wrong with that? (again as long as you not specifically camping the 'wall' and camping behind a wall going rambo etc..) like mg's shooting across the map thru the W crack wall.. thats totally totally fine to do.. i dont see why not.. its a bloody mg42 (or whichever) and thats a spot that ppl always go up to camp in and to use sniper rifles...

ok im tired of typing.. maybe ill try and be more specific later

and dont make any gay ass replies to this either.. if your gonna say something it better be good and it better be on topic...

but basically... remember this..

wall shooting is fine.. as long as your not excessively abusing it, camping, or like 90% of your kills are from that (now if you have 1 kill and it was thru a wall lol dont worry.. but if you have 80 kills and like 65 of them are kills thru walls... maybe you should stop hiding behind walls all the time...)

and if you cant handle this.. maybe first person shooters arent for you.. or it just means you need to practice and learn how to get around 'problems' like this ingame... and remember.. the flank is your friend

but anyways.. hope this clears stuff up a little
