legal hiding spots
How do I determine a 'legal' hiding spot?
Obviously a 1 inch ledge isn't very realistic, but there are many bigger objects that people can jump to that seem questionable. When is something too small to be standing on?
If you have to boost to the spot, is that still legal?

Re: legal hiding spots
Just try to use common sense in different situations. Sure you could stand on a railing but you wouldnt normally be able to stay on a ledge when your firing a gun. Just think things threw and if what you are doing you find a bit questionable then you probably shouldnt do that.

Well if you are balencing on it with one foot to your teammates view then you should get off that object.

Re: legal hiding spots
I would say height is no question, as in real life you would be able to pull yourself up. Boosting is a teamate linking his fingers together and helping you up (see army of two for more details).
The only real question is, could you fire a weapon from that ledge and still maintain balence.

I know this, but what if your on a block that both feet fit on and your back is against a wall?Well if you are balencing on it with one foot to your teammates view then you should get off that object.

Re: legal hiding spots
As I interpret the rule you can only judge legal spots based on the width of the object you're on, not to the degree at which you can stand near the edge (Sorry if that sounds a bit confusing). There's always a bit of discrepancy between players about how wide the objects need to be but as long as it's not ridiculous I just let it go. Boosting to spots is perfectly legal.

Re: legal hiding spots
LOL for those who have never shot an automatic weapon this seems like a hard topic to discuss. however for me I can tell you I would love to see someone win a gunfight sitting on a 6 inch ledge or balancing on top a railing while firing an automatic weapon. That would be amazing. I have guys failing their gun qualifications in the prone position never mind balancing on a railing.

Re: legal hiding spots
I try and stay off ledges alltogether it just doesnt make for a realistic feel to the game and sometimes its just cheap.
