Arcs, Macs, Whips, Drifters will all happily move (and the drifters will shoot enzyme) through closed doors, clog walls, bone wall, etc. They seem to ignore obstructions which aren't other commander-placable structures.

I imagine UWE went overboard in trying to make sure the non-player units never got stuck. They used to get stuck ALOT.
It's a bug, not an exploit.
If arcs are en route to a location already and the khamm drops a bone wall, and the arcs ride over it, the marine comm is hardly exploiting. It's unavoidable.
I saw this once, and was too flabbergasted to respond to a skulk nomming on my head. I died.
TimMc is right, there were too many issues with getting stuck. (even after this change there were still issues that got worked out)
I'll bring this bug to a higher priority
you've GOT to be kidding right? You know how much distance aliens can cover in 5 seconds when it comes to responding to an impending rush? 5 seconds means life and death for a hive.
I said its not an equivalent priority compared to clog walls, which generally take up the majority if not all of one person's clogs to accomplish in a very well thought out strategic position that the gorge typically plans on defending, sitting there static until destroyed.
Compared to a commander who reactively clicked in a panic for a temporary casted ability.
i.e. its far more depressing to meticulously setup a thought out strategic clog wall for nothing, compared to a reactive and impulsive click for a casted ability.
But like i said they both should be fixed and they are both reported.
