At first I think it's just a glitch in the rendering of my two claws, and that in the game I'm actually visible. Then I make the mistake of rounding a corner and seeing three marines in HA with HMGs. Two of them are looking right at me. Then they turn around and go about working on some turrets.
I take a few steps closer, intrigued... I'm well within turret range, but they're just ignoring me. I spend a few moments just walking around the marines and the turrets, utterly facinated.
Alas, I succumed to the horrible temptation.
I hit my chuckle key in the pop-up menu.
Moments later there were three very dead, very confused former HA/HMG wielding marines spamming chat with: WTF?!?!?!
I haven't tried to reproduce it, I don't know if I could if I tried, but it's only happened once to me, and I have absolutely no idea why.

Its like the guy the other day on the alien team saying.. if we go to the ready room.. and come back.. our team gets more rps!...
Dont exploit bugs people.. it ruins the fun.

Much to my surprise, not only did the marines not kill me but also the turrets didn’t fire on me either. Given that I was the last alien and I didn’t have the RP to morph, and create a new res tower, I just played around with it a little until I told a marine where to fire so the round would end. Freakiest thing in the world staying cloaked like that and being able to attack…
But it's also very freakin' cool.

Well reproducing it wouldn't be as easy as thought unless you build the chambers and a few turrets right outside the enemy base, oh the fun!
the kicker is that the guy doing it let on that it was definitely not an accident, and was in fact quite intentional. when questioned about it, he even said something to the effect of "it's not really a cheat ... rather, it's an exploit" (yah, whatever!) when asked how exactly he had done it, he declined to give specifics, saying he did not want his "secret" to get out.
and so begins the never-ending battle of just trying to keep the game honest and fun. Chalk up one more pathetic loser amongst the many!
