Bilebombing through the glass

<div class="IPBDescription">Please fix it in next patch</div>Please fix the ability to bilebomb through the glass in operations on mineshaft. It's uncounterable.

Numerous players are gleefully using this exploit to overpower the marine team, even when asked to stop. It makes the entire map mineshaft completely pointless to play, since there is absolutely no gameplay value when the other team has an unstoppable attack (if you start in operations).

And no, the fix is not "just get the admins to ban them." There are no admins on the vast majority of servers the vast majority of the time.

In my opinion this should be a hotfix, since it completely takes one of your three maps off the table.

Thank you.

    Haha, sorry for the double thread. We were both in the same game, but for me thats only one of several games I've seen go that way. I've even heard players on these forums say, "Oh boy we're on mineshaft, let's go glitch bilebomb through the glass. They can't do anything about it."

    Im pretty sure this is intended and they have no intention of fixing it. Besides, its really obscure, hardly anybody knows about it. It doesn't affect games too badly either.

    Well we know at least one person is using that exploit.

    You're trolling right? A single lerk can win the game for aliens on mineshaft by bilebombing through the glass onto the CC. It's a pretty serious exploit, and one that I sincerely hope they will address one way or another.

    We are looking into this. It is not a map problem, it is a code issue with projectiles, which unfortunately is going to need some more time to debug and sort out and fix. For the short term we are going to try and add some clipping geo to keep Lerks further away from the glass around marine start, so that should make it into the next patch.

    It's also possible in the vents underneath Warehouse in tram.

    That's the only other place I can think of where lerks can use bug exploits to end games.
