There are a few exploits and generally cheap things people are doing on the server.

1. People will grab the gastank, get bitten by a zombie, and wait by friendlies until they turn into a zombie, which then the gastank will detonate and kill all humans nearby. I was playing on a server and somebody was doing this OVER and OVER again. We'd basically spawn, live 5 seconds, then die by people who did this.

2. People will intentionally get bitten, stay in spawn, and when they go zombie they go apecrazy and start killing everybody.

Both of these things really ruin the gameplay. I myself, I'm not really a fan of getting killed by a player zombie, but I understand why it's a part of the game, but these two exploits just ruin it.

#1 is a glitch with the gastank unless FF was on and running.

#2 is not a glitch, it is not a bug, it is not an exploit, it does not belong in this forum. It is simply the way some people play the game. Even I do this every now and then...

TigerRei.....I showed you number 1! muahahahahah I didn't do it that much....only ever few minutes or so. Its one of those things that you just find out on accident.

And talking about the propane tank....you should make it so once you throw it....OTHER TEAMS MATES CAN"T STEAL IT!!!!! I understand when its in the box, and you drop it, but not when you launch it, and then some guy walks over it and picks it up. Thats just not cool.

I dont mind spawn point zombies aslong as they dont CONSTANTLY do it. Never knew about the propane tank, still a pretty crappy bug that people SHOULDNT expliot.

One thing that pisses me off is when your a zombie and people wont let you get to the maines (Only a real problem on the 'Slayer' map.) I got killed on spawn numerous times by 7 players who decided to camp the zombie player spawn points.

Not fun...

Why should people be kicked for playing the game? Don't like them? Find another server...

The game is to kill zombies. It doesn't matter if they are Human or AI controlled. They are still zombies, wanting brains. I don't care if they say they are just going to attack marines, or not. People have said that many times, and I allowed them to go behind me to kill marines, to only find out that they then tried to eat my brains....sneaky little tactic, to say one thing do another. So no matter if someone says that or not now, I kill them instantly pretty much. Unless there are server rules against it, I only attack when attacked when said rules are on the server.

And hunter man....I just found the little glitch/exploit and utilized it to become human again....well after having fun for a bit that is smile.gif

Just now thought of this as well, is this one of those glitches/exploits that people will use all the time now (seeing as its reported to the public) and ruin BB 1.2, until the next patch is released to fix this? If so, maybe we should report such exploits/glitches in private to the devs, that could cause it to ruin game play until the next version.

actually both exploits coincide. People will grab the propane tank at spawn, get bitten by a zombie, and while all players are at spawn, it'll blow up taking out EVERYBODY. It's highly annoying because we're constantly being killed in our own spawn by a weapon that a zombie shouldnt be able to use.

And as for the being bitten and waiting, it's annoying too because people will wait till everybody is occupied killing npc zombies, get bit, run behind everybody, and when they turn, they'll start going apecrazy.

Oh .. so they put a gastank down, turn, then run and kill it with their 'fowl hands'?

That sucks .. cause thats an instant kill for alot of players and stuff.

Btw, does a human thrown + human det'ed gastank hurt friendlies even if FF is off?

Just to clarrify...the ZOMBIE DOES NOT USE teh weapon. What happesn is that when You're about to turn, you deploy the gastank. The gastank is there, anyone can shoot it, zombie human whatever, but the kills go to the person that threw it down. It just so happens that a zombies powerful claws can puncture the tank, and make it explode.....or a human player could shoot it, and blow it up killing the NOT YET UNDEAD team members around it. Either way, its a a quick way back to human.

Speaking of exploits quickening humanization..... is there anything being done about my spectator-to-human exploit?
(Spin & Immoral know about it, but for those who don't, I can't say because I was told to keep it under wraps.)
