15 sec fade?

I think this might be an exploit. The server I was had a big ping spike for all players, then my NS crashed. By the time I joined the game the round ended and a new one was starting. I went aliens again and noticed that I had 58 res. So I clicked fade and evolved into a fade. To both mine and the marine surprise it worked! Oddly enough we had a very bad team so in a way the exploit helped me balance the team. It was about a 15min turtle as the aliens were going solo onos into base w/o heals. We eventually won. Even though I went early fade I was still astonished how limited the fade was w/o carapace and celerity.

    that epic lag spike was funny as hell as one gorge ALL OF A SUDDEN destroys everything when server got back up, but ya when you went fade that was odd.

    i think when you left/crashed it saved your res node, its feature since a certain build update that when you rejoin same team on same server from a crash you keep your res, you probably crashed at 58 res, got back into the alien team with a new round and had 58 res again

    That reminded me of exploiters in CS:S when they would buy TMPs/Mac-10s in the pistol round. Good times :D

    //I envy you :P

    Hmm... I thought that got fixed already, apparently not.
    If your NS2 crashes in between rounds, you sometimes preserve personal res from previous round to the next.

    At the same time b/c of the lag spike I lost my fade that I was playing at a time. It started when I was around a marine and when I finally got to some craigs and was reg'ning my health started dropping from invisible gun fire and i died :( Then I re spawned as a skulk and then my system crashed.

    TBH an onos at that level would be even more deadly as a fade. w/o celerity, blink, and carapace you are a lot more squishy when all the rines stick together.

    Same thing happened the other night, except the guy went Onos after saving up a bit.
