Well I'm not 100 percent sure this is an exploit but I am 99.5 percent sure this exploit is basically when you shoot an RPG into the right sniper tower for marines the one with the ladder where you can go up on it kills everyone in that tower + everyone in spawn.
Possible Exploit in the dust server

Someone may want to post a screenshot of the place so that newer players who just joined know exactly what you mean from a picture.
However, I remember talking about this with you guys in Vent earlier. In my opinion, someone doing this when they know what it does is abusing an exploit to indirectly spawn camp. If they don't know about it, it's different, so this is something we need to be careful with. One thing we should do is notify people not to do that occasionally to ensure that it's fresh in their minds, but that might also scare them out of even shooting at anyone who's in the tower in the first place.
Just my two cents.

i think we need an official ruling on this by leadership, cause if it was me, if it happened i would do an msay saying that, and then i would start kicking, but also people camp that right sniper tower all the time so if someone is shooting there, they might be aiming at a sniper or just a random gunner sitting up there shooting at them
I remember that...you got like, 7+ kills for that.
BTW, are you SURE it's a glitch, and not some crazy 1-time-only bug with the server?
If I were you, I'd try it again and make sure it's something you can pull off consistently.

Igoforunc09 and I tested his theory in the Event server and could not reproduce the spawn kills. When we went into the Dust server, I shot an RPG into the location he told me about and immediately, I got 4 kills with one rocket. Came back a couple seconds later and got 5 or 6 more kills with one rocket. Then I realized the game was locked in sudden death.
After changing the map out of sudden death, I could not reproduce those kills. This might be a glitch when in sudden death. Keep trying to reproduce this event while in normal game mode. If you are able to do so, then we will have to find some kind of solution.
Great job by all in finding this goof. Keep up the great work!

What do you mean? does the rocket force actually go through the floor and kill people in spawn. If so, that is bizarre, I've shot into tower lots of times before to kill whoever is in there and never had this happen.
My theory behind this exploit is that the map maker didn't correctly join the walls on the bottom so the frags might of reached the spawn I'm not good at map making but my friend is a total nerd for it and he usually likes to tell me these random stuff that are actually useful

it might be hard for you as i did that earlier didnt i, was in the tower with rpg someone droped round the corner i fired and got like 8 kills. the issue is with the map the wall is not thick enough i dont think
Or the RPG is over powered. =p

Roger that. We'll keep shooting into the tower killing 8 or 9 players every time. Sounds good to me.
its not really an expolit both kill each other the same amount usually
It might be because there are a lot of afk people when the server is stuck in sudden death and when you changed it, the afks are just sitting in unasigned. Usually people get out of spawn before they're spawn protection wears off but when you got a few afks sitting there, that's when you get a few extra kills.
I know for a fact that RPG's dmg does travel through a lot of walls on more than one map.
Anyway, that's my theory.

It seems like doing just this glitch is more luck, just hitting that one perfect spot. But yes I agree, if people are doing it intentionally we should do something about it.
