So, have you found any cool things such as secrety places or glitches (nothing too big, though), or anything else cool to share?
I have a few, but you all probably know them.
1. You can stand on trees. To try this you can go to the place overlooking the town where everyone snipes on Arica Harbor. Then jump up on a rock and jump onto tree leaves. It is a great sniper spot, because you look like part or the tree. It can be done on all of those trees in Arica Harbor. I've also landed on nelson bay trees when parachuting in.
2. The out of bounds line that runs on the top edge of Port Valdez. Wen you parachute in, lean right. Then you land on top of the cliffside (or, you can climb up there in some spots). You can follow the line for a very long time, but sometimes it gets really close to the edge. Also great for sniping because it is so high up, but can be exposed.
There is also a second ledge you can jump on when you are going along the road to the third set of objectives. You can jump from the ledge up onto snow, and you can run a long way along the edge there.
3.The waterfall rock on Laguna Presa in squad deathmatch. If you climb up just right, you can get onto a rock that overlooks the entire map. It is above everything. Only problems are that it is extremely hard to climb up, it is in the map's corner, and you have to sit on the edge of the rock to not be out of bounds.
That is all of mine, so if you all have any others, please share.
Edit: Even though it seems like no one cares, you can also run up the side of isla inocentes To reach a sniping spot higher than the popular corner sniping spot that overlooks the last objective.
I also found out today that by running up the 2nd part of Port Valdez, you can actually run until you are behind the map. As in, up on top of the ridge behind the last two M-COM stations. Very cool spot, but takes forever to get there

If you use up your C4 stock, get on a quad bike, and switch to the passenger seat, your C4 becomes bugged. LMB does nothing, and RMB throws more C4 - meaning you get an infinite stock of C4 that you have to shoot to blow up.
---
Found another one. On Nelson Bay, first part, defenders. You can run down the road to their UAV console. You'll go out of bounds, but even without lightweight you can get there with 2 seconds left on the kill timer. Once you get the UAV the timer goes away and you can use the UAV freely. When you exit from the UAV console or the UAV dies, you'll have 10 seconds on your kill timer again.

v smoke allows you to pop flares in the heli's, flying low has never been easier.

I've never seen the flares thing

just saw something I never saw before...a UAV loaded with C4 ready to take off...never thought of that, I'm sure you could get creative with that

I had that pulled on me a few times in a Rush match once. I guess two guys got C4, extra explosive damage, loaded the UAV up with like 12 C4, and flew it into the M-COM and blew it up. It only worked once, then I started actively looking for it.

There are lots of videos about c4/anti tank mine jumping. I saw one on atacamia desert, it was amazing.

A very cool little thing I found while fooling around with a buddy - on Port Valdez attackers, you can take the BMD-3 (easier) or T-90 (harder) and go right up the hill behind you, then drive it around the hills for a good distance. You can also go on foot this way. A good idea is to take 6x C4 and just blow up the trees all around the hill so you can see where to go up at. The T-90 is harder than the BMD-3 because it's slower, which poses a problem because when you get up the hill you need to get to a part to the left, and you have to go outside the combat zone for a bit before you get back inside it.

The Smoke Upgrade for vehicles lets the UAV launch 3 smoke grenades on a shorter cooldown than the Hellfire missile.
You can get a grenade to land inside a Blackhawk. It won't destroy a full health chopper, but it will kill everyone inside it, pilot included.
When throwing C4, jumping and tossing it at the apex of your jump does not increase the throw range, unlike the Motion Sensors and Grenades, where it does.

Is it worth using the vehicle smoke so you can kill everyone in it (possibly getting more points than just destroying the vehicle)? How much more difficult is it to use than the minigun, for destroying helicopters/killing them?

On White Pass atleast two sniper rifles (VSS and T88) have "eyeballs" in the scopes looking at you sometimes.

After perusing beta videos on Youtube, I observed headshots actually displayed a much more dramatic and gruesome effect, a patch somewhere in the life cycle must have neutered it. In retrospect, it represented the most urgent and spectacular spectacle in FPS memory.
Does anyone remember this? Surely the old code is there but toggled off very simply--is there anyway to restore the original effect through simple editing?

All I specifically remember is when I headshot some enemy on a construction site he flew off as if he were blown up by 12 ATMs and some C4. I think I signed up to test out the prototype nuclear M24s and didn't know.
