So...
Haseo and I had quite a lengthy discussion today on various topics. I talked to Zonar too a bit later, so I'm glad I got to catch up with some people today. Anyhow...
The whole topic of the infamous 3rd floor glitch on Metro came up. In the past, I felt that even though there was no invisible wall there that it was more of an exploit, regardless of their being a door there and whatnot. Looking at it closer, some of you may notice that you can shoot through the doors in certain spots and the bullets will pass through and can thus kill someone. I for one have been a victim of this many times...trying to kill someone who's in that glitch but instead, getting killed by the asshole on the other side. Tried going through the window, only to be blown up again and again by the infinite number of claymores put in the window. M320's didn't help since there were medics AND support soldiers up there. But anyway...
I've gotten multiple complaints from players, members, and admins and staff about the whole thing. That it should be forbidden since it's not something that was likely meant to be in the game. It could have been a planned feature and later scrapped, hence the doors that were put there. But who knows. Those buildings are used on multiple maps, (Seine Crossing being one of them) so it could be a scrapped feature type thing, or simply an area they didn't want people accessing specifically on Metro.
That being said, I've created a poll so that all staff members here can discuss it and vote on their opinions on what should happen and how we should deal with it. Majority vote will win and will be enforced as the future rule unless it becomes a serious issue down the road. Secondary accounts are not allowed to vote; one vote per person.
My personal thoughts:

My personal thoughts:
- Personally, though I use to use it seldom in the past, I never use it these days and to be frank, don't like using it anymore.
- I really hate it when people use it, since there's some interesting tactics they can use to keep the enemy out.
- As for dealing with it, I think one warning and a ban would be the way to go. A kick before a ban is reasonable but then people might think to simply come back and do it again when an admin isn't present. I'm not a fan of banning but that seems to get the point across to people much better than getting kicked, but then again, it varies from person to person and from scenario to scenario.
