highroofing

Highroofing is a type of map glitching common in first person shooter games such as Battlefield 2142, where it was frequently an issue.

Highroofing essentially consists of getting up onto an extremely high roof or structure where nobody can reach you or easily hit you, and then totally exploit whoring the hell out of that position.

Because with highroofing you can advance to the roof edges unpredictably, quickly pop up, use a weapon, then retreat to total cover and safety, it is considered to be a lame or cheap tactic by many. Prolonged use of highroofing may cause some players to ragequit, which can be hella funny but is somewhat mean.

However, if no exploiting or glitching is involved and it is an intentional game mechanic, it is generally not considered highroofing, though some noobs will accuse people of it and whine a ton about it anyway.
