<div class="IPBDescription">What to do?</div>There are a few spots in maps where, during normal play, the marine gets stuck. It has happened to me a few times in the same spot on mineshaft, I have attached a screen shot from my perspective when I am stuck.
I'm guessing this is a mapping error, so would the maps have to be redone to fix this?
If we can't fix the maps, can we at least add a /stuck command that bumps the player?
EDIT: How can I attach screenshots? It says the maximum file size I can attach is 30k, which is ridiculous. My 1280x1024 screenshot is 202k.

But for now, use the annotation commands to mark really bad spots and mappers will get around to adding some invisible blocks there so you can't get stuck so easily.
<b>something you can try as marine with the standard rifle:</b>
use the alternate attack (riflebutt) on a surface near you, preferably the ground. chance to get out is rather low though (i estimate 20%) but its worth a try before typing "kill" in console.
<b>something you can try as gorge: </b>
place a hydra right below you, it can lift you out of your position. the chance for this to work is rather high (i estimate 90%), but it obviously costs some ressources.

Would you rather these reported in this thread or a new one? I've got a screen shot of me getting stuck in an exo suit on Mineshaft.
If its a bug, make a post, if its map design issue, make a annotation.
it should be fixed that indeed. but you can type in console j1 to join marines team or j2 for alliens.
First time I jet packed from mezzanine in to the vent that leads to north tunnels. Got stuck right in the entrance of the vent on the mez side. Crouched with jet running in all directions and couldn't free my self.
Second time I jumped on to the hand rail of the stairs leading to sorting. Stuck in one spot no idea what on.
I've sticky noted the annotate text for next time.
