Operation Metro Raptor/CTD Glitch

[RaptorIII]

While playing Operation Metro [CQ], my game glitched out. I saw CTD's avatar/soldier running around shooting people while mine got lost in the Netcode somewhere... Initially I thought that I disconnected or my internet was acting up due to my rather higher than usual ping (hence the frequent visits to the score board). Eventually, I committed suicide.

That's so weird. It's like the player observer mode that all the admins wanted but never got.

Was built into the game but never released, along with ingame VOIP.

I've never seen that once over how many hours of playing? It's still kinda broken, where my aim reticle was down at the ground. Wild.. See something new every day.

That has happened 3 times for me

So it's a random code fragment/feature that decides to execute whenever it feels like it. It's the first time it's happened to me too. I usually get the no gun and especially spawn beacon when there's no ammo crate in sight, glitch

This happened to me like 5x already, annoying as hell. Especially since it doesn't disappear when the person your view glitched onto dies. But you can however press esc and commit suicide... Or you try running next to your observed player and try to kill something

Losing your spawn beacon I think happens when you switch to it too quickly after spawning. A little less than half the time you spawn on a beacon it will not disappear for a couple seconds. If you quickly bring out your second beacon, they will both get cleared at the same time. Just wait a few seconds to make sure the other beacon gets cleared before equipping your new one.

The observer glitch seems to happen to the higher pinged players more often haha. I have never had it happen to me. Is there any method to who it starts observing?

I agree with RaptorIII.
