To put this issue to rest for people (*cough* ^5 team) who say this is not an exploit, bug, whatever. This is directly from the steam forums.

 

Defusing Issues

 

Defuse kits and smoke grenades places on or in close proximity to the bomb can interrupt the defusal. Other players can throw HE Grenades, Flash grenades and smoke grenades into the defuser's head and interrupt their defusal. Fishes in the pond on de_inferno can interrupt the defuse. Players can also defuse through solid objects (such as walls).

This is a bug, it is a cheat, and causes the person defusing 3 points if you interrupt their defuse. I will slay for this violation and give a warning. And if it continues, you will get a kick and/or temp ban. Don't test me! This is an exploit of the game therefore you would not do it @ OGL and so it is not allowed in the Armory server!

just one question are we going to go back to the same style of rules we had for hl1 and firearms and if its in the game or part of the game thens its legal.

We always had the "if its in the game" with the excaption of 1 very detremental exploit (anyone remember levitation in Firearms?)

 

IMO its in the game, and if its used so be it.

 

Please dont threaten people with banning/kicking, thats my job... We are not OGL.

 

and TBH if i get hit in the head by a HE grenade, the last of my worries is a few extra points.

I'm all for the old "if its in the game" rule most of the time, but not on this one. Someone did it to me the other day, and its just annoying. It promotes selfish play and is very frustrating.

 

Oh and Shotty, it happens when a teammate does it to the defuser, not an enemy.

 

Example:

I'm defusing. My teammate comes up to me, throws a grenade right into me. It makes a loud crackling glitchy sound (at least it did for me) and I automatically stop defusing. My teammate then defuses the bomb himself.

 

So, as far as most things go, if they're in the game, then use them. But not on this one. I'm behind Murd all the way on this one.

if its teammate based then it will fall into "interfereing with gameplay" catagory, especially if it causes the team to lose..

 

this is definately then, kickable. i as under the impression that it was when ANY grenade hits rather than just friendly ones.. i suppose if an enemy grenade hits then you are as good as dead anyhow.

Ifrit, if it is in the game, it is probably legal in our server. On some things we just have to make a jugement call.

 

This server is about fun play. It is a popular server and we don't need any admins ruling with an iron fist. This is just a particular issue I have a problem with because like Sneaky said, it is extremely annoying and it actually hurts a players ranking. I only slay because of it and give a warning and have had to give a temp ban once.

 

One particular member of the ^5 team got a 2 hour ban when he did it. He did this to me, so I slayed him next round. Then he quits and comes back so he can play that same round evading the slay. So then I slayed him again, he did it again, and this happened a couple of times so I just banned him for a couple hours. Then a whole argument was brought up by his team how it isn't illegal. And if their team left the server, our server would die and we would lose all our players, some BS immature arguments like that. I said it is not allowed, end of story.

 

I urge discretion with all admin abilities. People do not like to see lots of admin abilities being used and spammed, it is just annoying. Even ma_say can become annoying if used too much.

 

Some members of the ^5 team are a problem bunch, but for the most part they are decent guys too and definitely good at the game. So you can give them a hard time, but they are for the most part fairly loyal to our server. They just need to follow the rules and allow fun play, that is all.

the point i'm making is that i've had it done to me on other servers and have done it on other servers since 1.6 its not a new bug its been there a while.
