invincible infantry: bug or hack?

[joe2]

i've played for 1400 hours so i've seen everything but i saw this for the first time last week.

i was in the PAC walker, seat 1 (shoots explosive rounds). there was an infantry dude on a hill maybe 200 feet away in silhouette. i put about 50 rounds through him but nothing happened so i figured he was lagged out or something and there were other things going on so i forgot about it. but i did see his name (you can see the enemy's name when you target them for a while).

a few minutes later, same walker, the enemy was attacking the silo hard. an enemy transport was landing nearby and a couple enemy infantry were running around. i went up on the hill to make it harder for them to reach me. the one guy ran straight up to me, about 10 feet away, and started shooting pilums at me. i had him dead in my sights and started firing and nothing happened. he had full health the whole time. i just keep firing right at him - i couldn't have missed, he was standing still and just a few feet away. i put shields up to block his pilums and kept firing and eventually after 3 or 4 shots he killed me but the whole time i was shooting right at him and never did any damage. and i saw at the time he was the same person i had been shooting at 200 feet away.

anyway i didn't happen to see him again that round and i looked at the scoreboard and he had a reasonable score - something like 15:3 which is normal for a good player.

but it made me wonder:

was he invincible because of some kind of cheat? or was it just a rare bug i've never seen before?

i got plenty of other kills in the walker including other infantry so it wasn't a problem with me or the walker.

Thats a bug sometimes with the PAC walker my shots don't register no idea why -.- but with the EU walker I mow people down like when Iam cutting the lawn.

Exactly. It's quite common for me to have the same problem with the Walkers. Not sure if it only applies to the PAC Walker or to both. When I shoot people the hits register, but I can't kill them.

weird, never seen that happen before. i know about the right-side gun on eu transport (who doesn't?) but i didn't know there was a problem with the pac walker.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't invincible. It's just a bug...

[Dtneter]

yeah i had it to lol first i thought he had the infinite health hack on but later it seemed that they didnt even saw me, reason dead connection without being kicked so basicly i saw them but they couldnt see me (i was just idle at my base as pac)

Thats why in maps with walkers everyone prefers to be on EU... PAC Walker has HORRIBLE hit detection.

no it doesnt, you can slaughter infantry just fine with it.

I had 1 instance when i was using a bogatyr on belgrade and this EU assault player stands out in the open shooting at me, i turn and discharge a bunch of shots into him from a short ditance and i get baffled caus nothing happens to him, i try moving to a different distance but nothin so i just ignore him and stomp away

Pac walker gets bugged quite a lot , two things happen the rockets criss cross and cant hit **** , and the machine gun does 0 damage , i think if you jump in and out of the walker it fixes it sometimes....

You just said "Your point is false" and then said "Your point is correct". Which is it? If you just stomp away, you just missed out on one kill that someone in an EU walker could have easily gotten. Besides, the EU Walker chainguns can shoot through fences, the PAC walker can't.

I think you exagerated about the pac walker being HORRIBLE with its hit detection. From my experience it'll bug out once in awhile when I get in it but not ALL the time and the only reason to really hate it's cannon is if you want to shoot through fences.

no that was the 1 time i ever had some wierd stuff going on with the walker. Thats 1 out of 8000 or so (i think). So 1/8000th of the time i have had hit detection glitches with a walker. I am actually supporting myself.:|:

no no no, actually 1/10,000th of the time i have a hit detection glitch so i dont actually think it was a hit detectio glitch i think the guy was just haxing or something silly like that.

It twas an annoying bug, i get it some times, annyoing but it happens.

[imported_SpLiTz]

Bug. Been there twice, with the unexplainable shooting at a non-moving dood who would've easily been vaporized. Lost packets or lag was my guess.

bug, I never have problems with walkers, but 3/4 of the time shepeard machine guns have no register, I am a big solo pilot, so when I plop down and switch seats to clear out some guys, I am in for a fit. As for walkers, I much rather prefer the Boya, its splash damage is great, and the rockets are both the same btw, but the one thing that makes me despise walkers is the stomping glitch, its about as bad as being a tail gunner on 1942, and Ive had people steal when I get in and out.
