<div class="IPBDescription">ahh the horror!</div> I was playing ns_tanith as alien gorge. everything is going good, we have 2 hives up. then i see the commander sensor sweep our sat comm hive and all of a sudden its under attack. i hear the bullets, i see the hive under attack but i cant find the marine doing it. i thought maybe he was in the vent right next to the hive, so i just gave up caring after the shooting stopped. then i saw our fusion reactor hive was under attack, so i take the movement chamber there and this time i can actually see bullet ricochets off the ceiling right under our hive. it doesnt take a genious to realize the commander was somehow cheating and shooting our hive from above.

anyone else seen this yet?? do the dev's know about this??

    Are you sure it is not a jetpack marine shooting at the hive from the top?

    positive, i could CLEARLY see bullets shooting through the ceiling, plus we had angry fades shooting at the top of the hive, but there was no one there to kill.

    Nah, seriously, this sounds like a huge bug.

    I don't know anything about the game engine but it is rather interesting how bugs pop up. Any l337 people out there know why doing a scanner sweep on a hive would allow this? Are you sure maybe it isn't somehow cloaking a marine? in the ceiling and removing his hitbox?

    I know that sounds unlikely too. Anybody tested anything like that?

    This isnt the first time I've head this. There is a bug that when a marine enters the CC he can still shoot his weapon. From what I understand, it's not easy to reproduce and seems to happen on its own. Therefore, whoever was the commander hit his fire button and said..."Wow...I can shoot!" Just be glad he didnt have an HMG or a GL. LOL

    This is a known bug, and is already noted. Noted in bug reports forum also.
