Jetpack rules (important)

We need to straighten up the rules since we have this jetpack epidemic going on.

My proposition for an addition to the rules is: You cannot jetpack to get kills or to avoid getting killed (Example 1: Someones on the roof above you and you jetpack from T spawn from a window to get the kill) (Example 2: Someones shooting you from behind and you jetpack to avoid bullets why you bhop away)

This is something I think we all have to do something about so we admins really know what is right and what is wrong.

I do both of these things and they are pretty cheap. I think we should still be allowed to break fall damage with it though, it's kind of the point of it.

I agree with Apathy, I always slay players who do stuff like this BUT ONLY if i see them, i wont slay if someone tells me they did it because im not going to "guess" that player did infact jetpack for their advantage.

avoid breaking your fall is not the point of jetpack, it was placed in to have fun with it without causing any problems or players complaining (which has been since day 1 lol), not use it to your advantage whether thats breaking your fall damage, jetpacking to get kills or be killed etc.
Example, if you are 1 v 1 on a map and you fall off a building, you die, its your own fault, should have been more aware of your surroundings, but if you fall off a building and you use jetpack to minimize your fall damage and end of killing the other player, you just used jetpack to your "Advantage" which is this whole situation is about...not to use jetpack to your advantage

I thought this was the rules with it to begin with. But it seems the longer the jetpack was on the server the less strict admins were on the rules and the more players got away with it. But it also wasn't a big deal awhile back because not many people had it. Admins should just start handing out stricter punishments and kids will start learning their lessons with it haha

I have seen many people on the map Kegs_course fall off the glass break and jetpack to land safely and just delay the round.

People are exploiting the no fall damage thing and if you are useing jetpack to disrupt every1s gameplay then u should record and ban.

What iPhone said. But people actually play in mg more now since Fire gave everyone the 30k credits. Ofcourse I want the server to stay populated, but this shit is just getting out of hand. I mean nowadays you can't even cap a motherfucker without him disapearing into the friendly skies.

Just start banning the abusers and others will take awareness and not abuse if they don't want to be banned
