Map Slap? Map Slap you say? Come on it has happened to us all. You're in a BFM server, minding your own business, racing and killing then BAM! You got slapped right OUT of the map! Mostly falling. I was thrown through the skybox once though. (must have been Battle Creek) You just look at the outside of the map as you fall away to a quick death. Bungie has a sense of humor as you only 'Die' when it happens. Any input, thoughts, or comments? Hey just remember "With BFM-All Things Are Possible".

The "Map Slap" is the second most annoying thing is halo behind spawn killers.

I've seen people be slapped up, down, sideways, and inside out. I've actually wondered for quite some time, is this simply an un-intentional "glitch," or was the game programmed to allow you to fall through the map? I mean, I'd doubt that it was programmed to allow you to fall through solid ground, but I've seen crazy logic before.

Hiya!

To be honest, I find that quite funny as long as it doesn't happen too often, i.e. not more than once every couple of maps. Sometimes, though, it happens multiple times during a single match ... mostly caused by myself.

It also seems that some maps are more prone to let you clip through the level barriers than others. It happens (relatively) often on Danger Canyon and Sidewinder. Also, the more lag there is, the more likely it is to get map slapped (lovely term, btw

).

Cheers!

I must be the lucky one! It's only happened to me a couple of times and they've been on Ice Fields. I'm surprised because I lag a lot I thought it would happen more often...
