For those desiring further guidance on how the Grapple Hook is to be used, or not used:
Rule 5 in the TTT Rules: Do Not Exploit, Hack, Metagame or Otherwise Avoid the Game's Intended Limits
"Do not try to escape the map bounds or exploit map/server bugs."
"Do not exploit or abuse the grappling hook to gain an unfair advantage such as flying horizontally with it."
From the TTT Staff Guidelines: Map Exploits / Glitch Abuse
"Exploiting largely applies to map exploits with people trying to get to places they should not access. Examples of such places are outside the walls in bank, going underneath the map on aircraft, and the top of many buildings in amsterville. Generally, if a player cannot be shot or reached where they are, it’s a map exploit."
The Known Exploits Guide
"Exploit Requirement Checklist:
1. Can you be shot or damaged?
2. Can you be seen AND identified?
3. Did the map maker intend for you to get to that spot / get in that area as a certain role?
4. Can ALL players reach that area?
5. Does it offer an unfair advantage?
ttt_casino_b2: On top of the balcony. Getting across or in the river. Top of the roof behind small ledges."
If you read just the quoted portions of these three respective documents which provide guidance as to map exploits and exploiting in general, this is a pretty cut and dry situation.
The two locations shown in the screenshots were both exploits. For those who do not have the best interpretative skills, I have gone ahead and underlined the text which demonstrates this to be true.
The locations were not intended to be reachable by the map makers.
Not all players are able to reach that area, regardless of whether they have a jump pack or not.
The location provides an unfair advantage. Players are not on notice to be looking up to the rooftops of the map on Casino. Therefore, they are liable to be caught doing a traitorous act or just get sniped from above without being on the lookout. That is not right and that is not within the scope of the game.
Both locations are demonstrative of map exploitation.
