St. Marie-Du-Mont glitch « Thread Started on Oct 30, 2009, 7:11pm »
On the St. Marie Du-Mont map, on the south side of the bakery, second floor, there are four windows. The second window from the left, when facing north and examining the southern wall, has a pair of shutters on it. If Grumpy, for example, is shooting through that shutter and accidentally shoots me while I'm in spawn protection, he will bend forward, go on all fours, and rock side to side as if wounded. While he was doing this, his head protruded through the wall and I was able to shoot him in the head. This was not THROUGH the slit between the shutters, but was under the window, through the wall, as his head stuck through.
I'd apologize to Grumpy for taking advantage of this glitch, but I thought it was funny.

This is a game issue and not confined to this map or server. Commonly seen on COD2, especially on sniper servers where gun barrel protrudes from the dividing object (wall, tree, etc.) and gives players position away. If a body part protrudes from the object, then the player can be wounded/killed.
Most regular players on sniper severs are aware of this aspect of COD2 and is why they often do not get too close to objects which they are hiding behind.
