Ok so last night I had a really weird glitch happen. Me and a couple buddies were hopping around Jaegar defending some of the smaller bases that were burning (we're only a small 2 to 3 man squad so thats our bread and butter). We get to one of them and the enemy have a couple infantry and a couple maxes (NC to be specific). Ok so we start fighting yada yada, I kill the max on the flag, take a lot of damage, kill another infantry, almost dead at this point and pop my medical kit while on the flag. Turn the corner of the flag and come face to face with the other max, pop my resist shield and just start to unload. He unloads on me (as expected)but I'm taking zero damage, no red screen, shields at max, health at max. I kill the max obviously, and am wondering what the hell just happened. A few min later I die to a tank shell. So question, has anyone ever experienced this before? It appeared that I was invincible for a brief moment, maybe something with the medical kit? Anyways just thought i'd share. Edit: Dang just saw the gameplay bugs section, mods you can move this if you feel necessary.
I've had this happen both ways at random times, i take shots but take no damage, or unload a clip into someone and they kill me, but show as taken no damage(the kill screen shows them at full life). So yeah, i've had that, but it doesn't seem to go one way or the other.
hm interesting...i guess i lucked out with this happening right when i was going up against a scat max lol
Indeed you did, wouldn't mind that happening when i come face to face with an NC Max, those shotguns are pretty brutal.
Happens pretty often with maxes. Had it yesterday - none of 12 sjots from both scatters registered at very close range.
VS and probably the TR max has the same hit detection issues. Went up against yet another infantry who knew about the bug so ran right up in front of my face crouched and started shooting at point blank. A MAX slap was in order.
lol dat max slap. funny you say that though, in this situation I was point blank and was crouching...
It's a way to exploit the dead zone issue with maxes. Especially if they forget they can MAX slap. Two MAX slap and it's all over.
I had something similar on the same server, after going up a grav lift. I was playing as TR, and a Vanu soldier started firing at me. With the terrible reaction time that I have, it took a few seconds to see where he was shooting from, and once I found him, I shot him dead. I had one health bar left, and it didn't start regenerating in the time it normally would. I died running across an open area and getting shot.
All MAXes have had the hit detection issue with point blank ranges where you cant seem to hit since beta. Nothing new but extremely annoying.
