Third floor beacon glitch on metro which causes an unfair advantage for the US team on metro. It is very difficult / nearly impossible to get on the third floor when there is enemy presence, thus enemies can camp there and slaughter the Russian team spawn.

Is this allowed? If not, can someone do something about it?

I did a little research and I think I see the dilemma here. It's not just that the beacon is in the wall, but that the only way to get to the 3rd floor is to do the MAV jump thing sort of on the outside of the exploded wall from the 2nd floor. Is that accurate?
Yep, very accurate.

The beacon can easily be destroyed with a mav.
We've allowed the mountain "glitch" on Lockers so far because it's easily countered by infantry, MAVs, motars, SUAV, etc. Point is there are multiple ways to counter it.
Based on what I just found in my research even if this wasn't in the wall there are some spots up there that can make it nearly invincible if a squad is actively defending it. I'll talk to our other admins about this and we'll decide something soon.

Even in the wall? What if it's down the stairs a little? Seems like it'd be easy for a squad to shoot a MAV trying to come in there to get it behind the grate things in the middle of the stairs if it were behind there.
Nevermind I think it's just a different angle of seeing it.
well then one day me and you can go n try em all out.. if you ever stop working
I'm gonna try to get a few of us together tonight to get in an empty server and test these and figure out how/if beacons there can be killed so we can decide appropriately.
Ima go to empty server and experiment
Easy glitch oml
Can be done on every building. Heres the thing tho. Its easy to get to third floor glitch. BUT i think its possible to get to the fourth also...

No MAV jump is ever required. Blow up the window, hop up on the ledge, jump into window. You can do this on either side of A, and also in the alley building. Most of the walls can be taken down opening you up to fire, and plenty can be thrown in to kill you. And I use it to defend A as a Russian, so it is used by either team. There is no "glitch to it. It is simply a jump and you're through the window.
It is a glitch. EA doesn't want you up their. But its not a abusive glitch. Just a new spot
Honestly i believe if they didnt want you up there they would patch out being able to blow up the wall that gives you access to the jump
It's not new at all. Been there for years, and been used for years.
Yes your video is BF3, and it's pretty close to the same thing in BF4.
Ahh sorry didnt realise it was 3 when i put it up.. but never the less thats pretty much how i remember it being done in 4 also
