Oh you'd be surprised. If someone on your team is a competent enough sniper to provide enough coverage for you to get a little distance from base, you should be fine. Unless they have a sniper on top of your base or something. But obviously use your discretion, this doesn't work every time, there's good and bad times to try it.
A better example of pulling the flag through the floor is in ivory tower. This is definatly cheating. The place were they pull it through is almost rite beside the plant site. On this level it is extreamly hard to defend the flag when it is in this position. If you have to guard both spots. Were as in coagulation one person could watch the top and drop down when they see the hog drive in.
Bugie said wall flag grabs are not cheating. You are only doing players an injustice for reporting them. I doubt they would ban somebody if they had a few cheating feedbacks. I'm sure they would look at a little bit of the data first.
I dunno about the banshee. How many snipers do you know that try to take out banshees that would notice a guy on top of it. You prolly couldn't get away with it twice in game, but usually one time is all it takes on coag.
I don't think grabbing the flag through the floor on coag is cheating at all. If you look closely enough, part of the flag pole even stick though to the banshee bay. I think this one was intended.

I don't mind people pulling the flag through the floor on coagulation. This is a easy spot to defend both levels.
But some of the walls people pull the flag through can be very unfair.
ivory tower is the most unfair... followed by the stairs in zanzi...
the person on top of the banshee is rly hard 2 do. u will get sniped off the top very fast. and just about every1 else can take u out cuz ur moving so slow.
and about the warthog thing. i dont think u will get banned 4 doing it. but at places like ivory tower is not easily defended, its almost like dummying.
That trick of standing on the probably won't work very well against a team who knows what theay are doing. Taking the hog through that tunnel is almost a suicide run. If your on defence that is probably the easiest spot in the game to just chuck a couple granades to get a triple kill. The hog is just way to volnurable in that tunnel.
that burial mounds hog thing sounds interesting. the only hard part would b getting the guy on the hood without dieing. and also getting through the tunnel n getting that turn right.
Hey gcskate27, I am curious about the zanzibar stair glitch where you throw a flag through it or sumthing? You didnt give enough detail about it. Since I do the flag glitches, I think it is fair, because once I did it, my lan buddies do it, so I dont think it is cheating. But please explain the stair one. Thanx.
u throw the flag at the corner of the stairs, n from outside u can grab it from the outside.
IMO:
Cheating - Dummying, Lagging, "Blue team has the flag...Blue team scored...Blue team has the flag...Blue team scored...Blue team has the flag...Blue team scored...Game over!"
Not Cheating - Flag-through-floor, vehicle riding
