Very weird bug...
I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this 'new' bug but...
I was playing mashtuur city, and this lone MEC wolf is in the heart of the US controlled area at the Mosque. It was quickly captured by one MEC, and recaptured by a crap load of USMC. Pretty much all the other bases were captured in that main area, so it was this one MEC that flukishly spawned right before the recap - most of the USMC troops fled to capture the remaining bases, so it was me, and 2 other guys that noticed this lone MEC Medic.
Anywase, so there is one MEC Medic, I wanted to get a C4 kill, so I throw one, detonate, but it wasn't close enough, you could tell it hurt him. A friendly sniper comes by and shoots him with the pistol a few times. I don't want to get a teamkill, so I hold my fire, he emptys his clip on him, meanwhile this medic is trying to paddle us all, and his dead friend (to revive him). Another friendly is firing at him from a distance, getting the odd shot on him. I was firing my carbine at him, since it was close quarters, I was spraying. I noticed A LOT of dust. The sniper gets killed. The dude firing from afar throws a nade, which kills me. Then the MEC Medic paddles the dude from afar.
I have never seen anything like this, I thought he might have been cheating, but then I thought to myself "Ok, theres not really such thing as hacks in BF2 - only lag, and a crap load of lag since 1.2." So I dismissed it as that, a freak case of lag.
A round later, its mashtuur city again, I pick up a medic kit to revive a friendly, and I see that he is long gone. I notice a crap load of MEC guys around me and there is no USMC troops to be seen, and friendly arty is coming on me, so I blitz to the closest MEC soldier in a fruitless attempt to shock paddle someone.
Get this - EVERYONE is shooting at me, I hear the "zip sound" from the med pack, but I don't have it pulled out. I look at my health bar as they are shooting at me, and it goes from 100% to 10%, and I see it zing down quickly. Then... BAM just as fast as it whent down from 100% to 10%, it climbed back up to 100%!!!!!!!! This was happening very quickly as I was still charging at the MEC soldier to paddle him, so I shock him, he dies, I go back out to the opened, and everyone is shooting at me, I see my health bar zing down, then zing up constantly. This time I am looking at it for a good second, going up and down. I'm standing there in awe, I whip out my gun and kill a couple of people. Then I switched to my medpacks to see what would happen, and then the zipping sound stopped - and I got shot and died.
