Just Had The Wierdest Bug...

Just had the weirdest bug on Mineshaft a few minutes ago lol.

So, new game on Mineshaft and it spawns us all in Operations. I spawn in that little fenced area directly behind the comm chair with the sloped up ramp. Anyway, the view circles around and puts me in my body, and randomly, without using WASD, I start slowly walking up the back of that ramp thing. Then, as I start to walk forward to get out, I CAN SUDDENLY FLY!!! Its like I had an infinite cross between a jetpack and a fades blink. Strangely it had momentum to it, so i had to build up speed, but after a second or two I was flying around the roof, jumping off the tops or walls and just going crazy! Most of the team saw me flying around to. The turning response of it wasn't great so I did a lot of bouncing off of stuff, but with operations being open, I was able to make lots or random/crazy laps around the ceiling.

Wanting to show off my new found powers to the evil aliens, I went through drill to central and made a few laps until I bounced off the ground/hit some weird geometry and then the powers just disappeared and I was back to walking normally.

Has anyone experienced anything like this before? I have no idea how to recreate it as it initially started as my random spawn location starting on that sloped wall.

Strangest thing ever.

    Dude, that sounds like a strange trip. Was it mushrooms?

    Haha, that's awesome. Perhaps an admin used a command similar to noclip on you? :P I've actually seen this happen in crevice on summit, and I thought it was either a hacker or a bug related to the comm:

    Quite strange, perhaps these two instances are related.

    Edit: Actually, since the mic icon is enabled for this player, I think he was actually the kham or maybe a lerk. o.O So weird.

    This used to happen when you crouched while climbing to the top of a ladder (i.e. you get to the top and then start flying). However, it seems something similar is still occurring. If you can find repro steps, that would be great.

    He's the alien comm. In Spectator mode you can see the comms flying over the map. I saw the marine comm too at crevice.

    Yeah, why is the comm drawn? Surely that adds network traffic?

    Known bug. Not a high priority.

    Ahh, interesting. This is from first-person perspective, though, so I was alive as a skulk during the screenshot. If this is also a known bug, please ignore. :p Also, my post is different from the OP's, so his still needs addressing.

    I've gotten noclip before when I spawned in mineshaft. I did some bad things in that game.

    In the ready room, I was once an onos, skulk, gorge, and a lerk all combined at once..... So yea, some sort of bug is present
