Afaik considered glitching the Obi, therefore no.

[iK4l3l]

thats how i also know but ppl are doing it..

[ChriS]

think it was allowed

[shaitan]

I think if I catch them, they always get a warning.

[Joetorp]

If they are not back walking, I don't see a problem.  The glitch is, the ob doesn't recognize a player when walking backwards and won't fire upon what it can't see.

I assumed it was allowed, since it's allowed to use the lamposts on Field on Under afaik

[Volcom]

I allow it, but it depends on the moderator/admin at time. I usually say its ok because Nod can walk to AGT from tunnels.

'twas 4.0 that fixed that glitch I believe

[Good-One-Driver]

I personally don't care about it as I like to do it.  But field is much harder then under which is my fav.

[BillieJoe67]

I can easily get round the nod base on field with a balance of luck, skill and a sense of direction.

 

And provided I'm on nod

Yeah Billie, it is quit easy to get around your own base and not have to worry about the ob. 

[BillieJoe67]

If I'm on gdi, the harvester runs over me

Ob walking is when the obelisk shoots you but does no damage because you're jumping around like a maniac and/or walking backwards. This was fixed in 4.0. Using objects to block the shot isn't ob walking.
