Some Kind Of Spectator Hack

Visser

<div class="IPBDescription">or at least bug.</div> I was just trying to play a game (every game since 102 has been lamed out somehow but i havnt had many) and i found that a bunch of people on spectators were walking around the map as marines. They had no weapons, couldnt hurt us (as aliens) but didnt die even taking at LEAST 20 skulk bites. While it doesnt directly kill you, they block passages, distract either you or the marines (ive died due to trying to eat the wrong marine between one of the specs and a real marine. Also marines were getting distracted by them walking around them like a spaz) and give away your location, hiding places, bases etc. The whole server (i assume) was able to hear them on voice com ala when you are in the ready room.

This rar has screenshots as evidance. They arent of any interest unless you dont believe me.

Everyone on spectators was doing this but i didnt bother to track them all down and get shots of them (rather hard with them constantly zapping around)

edit: Tripod doesnt like rar files so i added an extra .zip extension. Remove it after downloading and open in winrar 3+

Right clikc -> copy shortcut, paste into a *NEW* (blank) IE window or tripod wont allow it.

I have experienced this too and have actually figured out how to do it, and would definantly like to see this fixed. It can completely ruin games with people blocking vents and such.

When you join a team, right after you enter the join team in the waiting room, before you spawn if you become a spectator again, you will spawn as a spectator, but instead of spawning in the waiting room you will spawn where the game planned on spawning you for whatever team you joined anyway.
