I've become stuck multiple times while coming out of an egg.

Once, in a game we had a hive in locker room (don't remember the map name) ... I finally had saved up for a Fade... it was a game in the balance... I popped out as a fade right as a marine came through the vent... but I was stuck... so I sat there out of range while the marine unloaded on me, wiped me out... 50 res... and also, the game. it was fairly balanced, the extra fade could have tipped it...

    The egg getting stuck issue is unfortunate indeed... There's a bit of algorithm that tries to put you into a safe spot but it doesn't always work. Sometimes you can get stuck on props in a map if you evolve on top of one.

    Just in case I most of the time evolve without upgrades into higher lifeforms, because just evolving again sometimes unstucks you.

    We had this issue yesterday when a guy grabbed an onos egg and got stuck. The thing was that the egg was like a feet away from the wall, but once he evolved, he was stuck against it =(

    Eggs and Phase Gates do this. . .

    It's a touchy area because if too much freedom is given players will be able to clip into walls
