ExploitsExploits deemed illegal in TWL include, but are not limited to...Bypassing Crescendo’sBypassing crescendos is illegal. For example, on No Mercy 3. Destroying the door, rather then using the scissor lift is illegal.Weapon Switch MeleeConstantly switching between weapons to increase the frequency of your melee attack is illegal.3rd Person ViewAny over the shoulder, or third person view is illegal. All players must play using first person view.Gatling GunAny kind of "bouncing", "jumping" or "teleporting" using the Gatling Gun is illegal.Blocking the Survivors RoutesIt is ok to block the route of the survivors to the safe room with cars and logs etc, as long as there is at least 1 route which remains clear and unblocked so that it is physically possible for the survivors to make it to the safe room. If all routes are blocked then that is deemed illegal.No Mercy Final under rampIt is illegal to camp, or even go, under the ramp on No Mercy Final.Taking Advantage of Catch-upIt is illegal to abuse the Catch-up feature as the infected. The most obvious example of this is when you are a Boomer and you vomit on the survivors, and then quickly run back far enough so that you can use the Catch-up feature, and then spawn near them with your vomit meter full in half of the time it normally takes. It also goes for any infected doing this to regain full health.SpraysThis rule on sprays is in addition to the rule about sprays already stated under the Player Responsibilities section.Door GlitchingIt is illegal to glitch through a closed door.The following are deemed illegal sprays.- Medic Supply Models- NPC Models- Weapon Models- Ammo Dump Models- Enemy Player Models (Zombies)- Zombie ModelsOut of Bounds AreasThe following areas are out of bounds, it is illegal to take advantage of them.Below are some images with the out of bounds areas highlighted in red:No MercyOn No Mercy 1 "Apartments" it is illegal to jump down from the roof of the building you start on as Survivors.On No Mercy 2 "Sewers" , the ledge above the roller door towards the end of the map, and adjacent machinery and furniture is out of bounds.In the event that other possible exploits are brought to our attention, it will be brought to the L4D admin team who will decide whether it is legitimate or illegal.If a dispute is filed for a match with a complaint about a possible exploit which is not explicitly outlined above, the admin team reserves the right to come to a decision and possibly enforce the ruling on the exploit on the match in question, so if you are unsure as to whether or not something is match legal, please get in contact with a Left 4 Dead admin who will clear it up.Game Scoring IssuesThe passing of pills from one survivor to another with the obvious intent to take advantage of the scoring system is illegal. Staff will review this on a case by case basis when needed.If anyone on your team violates one of the above rules, your team will forfeit the map on which it occured.If you team violates three or more of the above rules your team forfeits the match. To clarify, one rule broken 3 times counts as 3 violations and will result in the loss of the match.CVARSThe use of CVARs that give any player an unfair advantage over another player is not allowed during match play. An example of allowable CVARs would be an FPS tweak such as removing dead bodies. An example of an illegal CVAR would be turning off an environmental part of the game such as fog or rain which would clearly give the player an advantage over another. Anything that changes the effect of sounds to give players an advantage is also prohibited. Texture tweaks that in turn change the behavior of hit boxes are not acceptable. Basically common sense is required as to what would be deemed legal or illegal. The decision lies with the TeamWarfare admins and the use of an illegal CVAR will be considered a game exploit. If you are unsure of a CVAR, please contact the lead admin to get an official ruling.Anyone caught using or attempting to use illegal cvars will be suspended from match play for up to 30 days. Repeated use will lead to a longer suspension and/or ban.
