invincible infantry: bug or hack?

[Webs961]

It's a bug: there is no invincible health hack. Health is controlled server side, so you're probably just experiencing bad hit detection, lag, or a number of those 2142 bugs we just adore.

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.

Hi joe, I am CAN)S.T.A.R.S., currently number 2 on the walker leader boards(just a madder of time before I get 1st).

I use the walker every time I play and I can assure you that this guy was not cheating/hacking nor glitching. I have suffered this bug with the Bogatyr walker for a long time and I have figured out that the only way you can fix it (which works 100%) is too get extremely close to an enemy target and shoot it. It always works, and then the canon and the rockets are fixed. YES, if you get really close it will work even though you are having the bug...just get extremely close.

Personally, I prefer the PAC walker(!!!!ONLY WHEN THE WEAPONS ARE WORKING!!!!), the canon is a bit more effective than the L-5 Riesig's machinguns. Perhaps, it's rockets are less effective at long range(bogatyr).
But well...guess what? I play with the EU walker more often, just because I'm sure that it's weapons aren't going to shut off while I'm playing.


In my opinion, the first bug EA should fix in their next patch are these Bogatyr bugs, I do not recall having seen any bugs in any other games that have annoyed me more than this one.

The bug does not apply to the L-5 Riesig.

Hope it helped.

I always play on the =w= clan server 24/7 Berlin FF=OFF, come see me if you wish, I'll show you some tips.

bug, lag, whatever. PAC walkers are annoying to use.

Not really.
