Recently I have been noticing some players getting onto two roof on the Street map at locations that MOST of the other players cannot get on. The first one is across from Market on the South alley: There is a roof that everyone can access. Right adjacent to that is another higher roof that seems impossible to get on. However, I have noticed some players getting on this roof. Rumor has it that players are accessing this from two pallets at the gas station, but if you go there it should be IMPOSSIBLE to do this. You can imagine the high scores they get..lol. The second location is at the gas station. I have seen people get on the roof of the gas station? HOW?? Are these glitches or is there a way to get onto these areas? If so, they should be stated, cos everyone so far that I have played with have been very shocked that there were players at these locations. I have played Street over 100 times, and I have yet to see a way to get up there. IF this is a map glitch that is taken advantage of, it should be noted and players should be kicked if they use it.

I just played a round with a player using this tactic. It was a great match considering, everyone had decent scores, expect he/she had a score of 69 kills and 10 deaths.


Thanks

For the first one, IIRC there is a sign protruding that you can jump on and get up to teh roof

2 rooftop N (? is it N) across the street of market - there's a sign? Snap - here I was doing ... nah - I won't tell They are right about 1 thing, those two pallets? You won't get on the roof at market, but ...

Oh, you can get on the rooftop of Gasstation as well? I'm off! Bunnyhopping, swearing and timing issues here I come.

Its not a glitch
you just need to know how and where you jumping
(and gasstation roof too )

only bug with rooftop on street is that any ammobag falling down on the earth trought the roof and flor (90% if you drop it near the somebody)


(Hey Hx.Clavdivs what about a server for our upcoming match ? )

Thanks for the imput everyone. IMHO. I think Street is an awesome map. Those two issues though should be fixed. Either make it more obvious on how to get onto the roof (both of them), or fix the map so you CANNOT get on. I prefer the latter. I think having those roofs accessible takes away from the game on that map. It is almost a glitch. The mere fact that it is like an "easter egg" to figure out how to access those locations is ridiculous. What is this..MYST?? LOL. Anyway, see everyone soon.

I don't think its a critical issue. I'd much rather see this map stay in than be removed for something like this.

Can you not use a grappling hook on this map? In the old extraction version insurgents had one. But I haven't played it since.

Nah, no grappling hooks in either UK or MEC kits.

But you can get onto 2 roofs... although I'd class them as extensions of each other

Whats up Blud! I respectfully disagree with you. I do think it is a CRITICAL issue. I think this is a great map and should definitely stay. IT is one of the only "urban feel" maps in PR. That being said, if you ever play on a server when there is someone going onto those roof(s), it is a miserable game. Half the time the squads do not know where they are getting shot from. (since not many people are aware that those spots are accessible). Now, you have to always have someone watching that roof for a sniper or roofhog. I hope that this can be an easy fix ...if not, then I think that server admins should warn people NOT to access that roof. Otherwise, the games will be frustrating.

I know what you are saying Strummer, but I am a tester for the mod, and I know what they consider "Critical" and this is definitely not something they consider critical, which means I know they won't fix it. You have to understand they are doing a massive amount of stuff in 0.7, whole new maps, and a bunch of other new stuff I can't even talk about. So fixing some minor roof thing on an old map isn't going to make the radar, simply because they are already too busy. If they had nothing better to do, then yeah they would fix that roof I bet.

Like you said, one of the biggest problems of these spots is that the average person doesn't know you can use them. That will change as people learn about it, so the problem will lessen. Also, a server could make those areas illegal and kick people for it (but it would be lame if they did it without warning or notice).

But I agree with you that this map needs this thing fixed. I think it will just be a matter of time.

Yeah...I hear ya. I hope that they keep this map in .7. I guess it is wishful thinking..lol. I really think that this map has alot of potential, but if it is kicked to the curb in .7, then yeah you are correct. I am used to playing mods that keep maps around for a good amount of time. PR, does switch out maps quite often. Some are good, some lame, quite honestly, there are a few in .6 that I cant wait to see go away...
