New Lame Cheat Laying down????

Well this was the first time I ever saw this one. A guy on my server was laying down. I didn't believe it at first, because I try to stay current on what these lamo cheaters are using, but this was the first I ever saw this. We were on DV and he was laying down, it looked more like he was half in floor and half out of it (No it wasn't the going under the map bug, he was doing it on the second floor of the Apts). I called him on it and he said it was not a cheat. He was completely adamant about it being legal, then I asked him, "ok then how did you do it if its supposed to be legal". Of course no response, so I booted his ass.

First time I've seen this one. Looks like Sta7ic must be getting bored again. MOHAA is starting to remind me of Counter Strike.

It's not a cheat, it's a glitch. EA knows about it, but they didn't find it until about a week before the patch released, so they didn't get a chance to patch it. It's in the works for their next patch, I believe.

Is this what they call "Land Sharking" ?

No, landsharking is when people use a ladder to glitch themselves into the map. When you see someone walking through the floor of the map, just their chest and head above the ground, that's landsharking.

This is just the ass-slide. It's a glitch.

Thats strange. Laying down? was it really laying down or was it all fucked up looking?

Interesting experience on my end, my secondary system decided to eat its registry -- as Windoze does occassionally -- so I had the wonderful fun of reinstalling everything -- except I forgot to reinstall MOHAA, figuring I could just run it, without registry support. And it does EXCEPT when I got SH and it insisted I didn't have MOHAA installed. Being the typical slob that I am, I of course couldn't find my MOH disks, so I just copied an installation from my other machine (my guess legally questionable -- but I'm the only one brain damaged enough to play MOH and I can't use them in both places at once -- drat those pesky laws of physics! ) and got it up and running.
Now when I got the SH patch installed on my primary machine, I copied the mainta directory over -- but I forgot to update the updated SH files in MOHAA directory. Now, when I connected to servers I couldn't get into patched SH servers, as I kept getting MD5 checksum errors, but I could unpatched and (I think MOHAA), and I have to tell you things sure looked strange, anims slid all over the place, and when people crouched, they disappeared into the floor. I quickly realized my error, updated all the files then jumped back in and everything was fine, but truly a bizzarre experience.
