<div class="IPBDescription">0 hp</div> I love regeneration!

Weird though,
when I get shot,
I go down to 0hp,
my screens flips on it's side (death view).

But I still get regen and come back to life,
anyone else got this?

    Yes, i remember that someone has mentioned same thing long time ago.

    Also i have heard, that a marine has arised from the death too. (when he dies, com drops a medpack on top of him and he "wakes" up.)

    I had no upgrades as gorg, I fell down the ladder to tram entrance on bast. Suddenly, I'm looking sideways, I can walk but its kinda weird. So I take the ladder up to feed, build a DC to heal me and suddenly I'm the right way again.

    Weird I tell ya.

    The dropping the medpack on the marine just as he dies and watching him spring back to life is a rumor. Try testing it out for a couple hours and 3 billion medpacks + 400 skulk dinners latter you'll see what I mean. It's simply a matter of the fact that a marine does not have any internal regen scripts, which means that the marine dies and any script that fires off after that is useless. Therefore, the marine cannot "touch medpack" "get medpack health" "gain health". The alien with regen however, gets another regen when the timing for it is JUST right, otherwise aliens would be regening from death everytime they died.

    I as a marine got the "near death" syndrome too, just yesterday. Unfortunately I fell down the ladder into tram tunnel and died for real, before the apparently busy commander could be bothered dropping a medpack in feedwater...(or maybe it was cause he was finnish? It was on a finnish server after all...)
    EDIT: I forgot to say, there was a fade and 2 skulks attacking our sieges, and we had full armor upgrades, then I got badly hurt, and an acid rocket hit <i>just so</i>, bringing me down to 0 hp, but not less... which is, as far as I have heard, when this occurs(EXACTLY 0 hp, otherwise you=dead for real).

    it's not some random luck of the regen hitting at the right time necessarily. I used to get this a LOT as a lerk (with cara or regen). I'd be shot in mid air, and my screen would go sideways, so I stopped trying to fly (first time) thinking I was dead, but I wasn't, and landed then got shot.

    I've had many occasions when the screen turns on its side and there's no HUD, but you're still alive. Sadly, it's mostly happened to me when I can get away and to healing, or it's freaked me out when flying high and I've ended up falling to my death, thinking I was already dead.

    Weird

    I just love the little bit of random luck involved where you do happen to escape through a regen revive, i have done this many times before but the best one was i ramboed as a fade killed the whole marine team and the base including IPs but forgot the obs.
    2 secs later the rine team back, i ran for my life as health was very low and as i was about to sneak around the corner my vision tilted then i regened back to full and finished the rines off 'twas so funny to watch knowing they nearly had me.... pity they were n00bies...

    once I had 0 hp as a marine. I was running around the map with a tilted screen begging the comm for a medpack :\

    I don't know if this is related but healing spraying a corpse makes a sloshing sound <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The health in HL is a floating point number and HL makes approximations. You probably had something between 0 and 0.5 hp. (I know it for sure because I got trapped while coding something for my mod and I couldn't find the bug until I realised that it's a float value).
