<div class="IPBDescription">No,you will NOT be told how to do this.</div> This is a bug/exploit.

I am not going to say how it can be exploited,because i dont know myself.

Players in spectator mode(according to the TAB button) can somehow walk around in the map,with godmode.Thank god they cannot kill people,or games would end in 2 minutes flat thanks to lamers.

The things they CAN do(which is why this needs to be fixed ASAP)

1.Spoil elvators.In a certain map,2 alien hives require elevators to exit....this means all non-skulk/lerks will be stuck in the hive and be forced to evolve to skulk/lerk to attack the enemy.

2.Block people in a major attack.The marine commander shut his team up in a base with like 20 turrets,we were all ready to charge....then lamers exploiting the bug suddenly ran infront of us and blocked the way.....of course this alerted the marines who proceeded to spam greandes our way.....

3.Block turrets so that they cannot fire at their targets.

4.Waste server space because there are lamers fooling around instead of actually playing.

    I know that bugg........ It happend to me on a 1.02 server ( I don't think it's the patch though ). I could run around with normal players with weapons and such but I didn't die when an ONOS came and tried to kill me <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    This needs to be fixed. IF you know how to do it of course <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    LOL I did that too.... except my HL/computer (HL would not start again) crashed when the round was finished. Luckly turrets don't attack "specs". It was fun though. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    We thank you for your original post. It has brought the bug to the attention of the correct people. However, telling more people would just cause more 'llama' behaiviour on servers.
