Say Im standing at a window, looking out, with no iron sights, and I step to my left or right, just a step, would that be considered running?
Or same scenerio with a noob tube, would it be considered running?
Thanks for any clarification on this question.

For 1 step to right or left...? no
But... going from a window to another (ex: station's original spawns)...will be considered as running.
Hope it clarified your interrogation.

Running is running. I played a majority of the games supported here with that simple rule and I frequently work a window or doorway back and forth or look over a box or barrel while standing and shifting and have yet to ever be called on it. I don't see it as a problem but then again, I don't make the rules.

Hey DraynBamaged, the rule states that if you are walking then you HAVE to have your sights up and in my eyes if you are working a window and you are standing and you dont have your sights up, then you are running. So TO MOVE, you must either have your sights up or be in the crouched position.
You can click the rules/faq tab to see a list of all the rules.
You're a great player and I enjoy gaming when your on!!
I hope that answered your question.

Thanks for the comments.
REFORM thanks but my game play is but a reflection of those around me. And since BK is were I land 99% of the time, you guys make me a better player.
NOW that I have different answers from BK members It looks like we need a definitive answer.
Because if im standig and looking out from a spot with my pistol iron sight my field of vision doesnt change, so a step to the left or right doesnt matter.
BUT in same scenrio with a rifle or noob tube, in order to keep the wider field of vision I'd have to crouch move then stand all for one step.
In my opinion I wouldn't define it as running step right or left in one spot without iron sights.
Just trying to keep things a little spicey, in a healthy way.

I see people (including BK members) run a very short distance to be able to make jumps from one high place to another. The big pipe in the back corner of Corrosive and the round tank between the department store and brewery roof on Revolution are 2 such places. Strictly enforcing the running rule in these cases seems to take some of the game play from the maps.

You can step and jump.
You cannot run and jump - even for a couple of steps.
If we don't observe you running and jumping then we give you the benefit of the doubt.
Having said that, if you are in a location that can only reached by running and jumping then we will ask you to move from there.
This is stated clearly in the rules.
In the situation that started this thread, you are not allowed to walk upright from one window to another unless you are sighted (WaW). In BlkOps walking upright is not allowed, period.
You are allowed to take a couple of steps from spawn as you are spawned upright, but honestly most people who play on the servers automatically crouch.
Hope this clarifies this. If you have queries then join us on TS and a senior officer can explain.

Every single one of those spots, this one included, can be reached without running.

Yep, you can make that jump WITHOUT running. It's all about timing. I credit my ability to make "impossible" jumps with many hours of guiding Mario through castles...

How did you get your screen set up like that?? I've never seen that before.
