This reports details the technique
used to reach the top of the tower in the Siberia map. This is achieved
through a bug in the game, and is not permitted during normal play.
It is shown not so you may (try to) use it to your advantage, but
so you are aware of how it may be used against you.
At the "front" of the building the tower is on top
on there is a big garage-like door(stand by the small guard tower
and look towards the building, then walk straight forward). Go up
to the door and crouch down on one of the sides. Press space to
begin climbing up the small thingy on the side(sorry, my English
is bad today. Got a bit too little sleep lately..), and then press
C in the middle of the climb.
You'll go back to a crouched position and begin floating backwards
very slowly. Position yourself looking away from the building and
wait for until you float into the wall. You'll start falling downwards,
below the building. Wait a few seconds(6-8) then press C. You'll
start climbing. Press C again *before* the climb bar reaches maximum.
You'll start falling down again, but keep pressing C(but press again
before the bar reaches max) and you'll slowly start climbing up
to the top of the tower.
This works on every map where you can climb something. Just crouch,
climb and crouch again in the middle of the climb and you'll start
floating backwards. Then you can use the C key to "climb" anywhere
you want.
By posting this I take quite a risk(everybody could start cheating..),
but taken into account that this bug takes an incredible amount
of time to pull off successfully, I assume not too many people will
use it. The chance of successfully gaining an advantage from
the manoeuvre is very slim. Besides, it's pretty easy to catch
cheaters. If anyone keep climbing and/or crouching by the big door
on Siberia I, they're probably trying to cheat. Then you can cap'em
and boot'em ;)
"Cheat" can be defined
as "To violate rules deliberately, as in a game",
and therefore the use of this technique can legitimately be classed
as cheating. However to "cheat" in a game is to "seek
an advantage by unfair means", and to suggest there is
an advantage in leaving yourself open for the 2 minutes is takes
to complete this move would be foolish.
