Maybe this is already well known but it was the first time I ever saw it (names have been hidden to protect the -possibly- innocent):

Is This A "Nice" Glitch Or A "Naughty" Glitch?

Probably a wall glitch. That's old school cheetin right there. You put a beacon close to a wall/object and sometimes people spawn inside the wall/object. Usually you can't fire out and it is extremely bad form if you do.
IMHO firing for kills from such a position would be ban-worthy.

I did some quick googling and it looks like you can just crawl into it or something? Reminds me of that Dawnbreaker one overlooking C where snipers hide sometimes...
Can the statue be blown up? If it can then that shouldn't be a bannable offense in my opinion.
No need for a beacon to go into this object. This stone lion isn't always there when Tower C comes down, but when he's there, although I don't do it, I know it's possible to walk through it and when you try to destroy it, it rebuilds immediately. It really is a weird bug. Hiding there to kill enemies is no different from other glitches abuse. At a minimum, the player should be advised that this is prohibited. Because honestly, even for a regular on the Shanghai server, this bug surprises a lot and can arouse curiosity.
You can't destroy it, not after the tower has fallen.
The first time I encountered this glitch, I was in a transport helicopter and I tried to destroy it, without success. I was surprised to say the least to see that. There weren't many players during this particular game, so nobody minded me trying to do it while capturing the flag.

Omg thats pretty funny actually lol
Wow. I didn't know about the respawning statue part of it. That's wild and I can definitely see how it can be abused.

Interesting. I wonder if you destroy it before the tower falls does it come back? Heading over to 24 to find out.
Yup, if you destroy the statue BEFORE you topple the tower then the statue is destroyed.

So should like...people hide in it and stuff?
Absolutely not! I am very certain this person would be banned from any server running the BA plugin, without the ability to be unbanned.
Just checked out the glitch. Yes, you can crawl under the statue from pretty much any direction.
No, you cannot just fire from under the statue without exposing yourself. So not a rule violating glitch IMHO.
BUT...it would be a handy place to hide from an attack heli if you want to cap C.

And hiding in a glitch, even just to capture a flag or serve as a spawn point is punishable to my knowledge. There are other places in Shanghai where it's possible to hide and even see through walls (ex : when you fall under the map), and I avoid those places like the plague. I've seen people get banned for this sort of thing.
Memo: Destroy the statues on Siege of Shanghai before you drop the tower.
Try it out for yourself and just shoot at nearby concrete or something (not another player!). You'll see that you have to get outside to actually do anything. Perhaps you might be partly covered but not fully. In any case using this for kills would be 100% wrong.
