    Phantom model

    Ok.. Has anyone else been playing BF2 and noticed a phantom model that may pop up on screen for maybe a half second? lemme explain..... ive logged a total of about 300 hours on the game so far ..... the more times ive played the more ive noticed this. One night i may play for 2-3 hours and never see / notice the player model pop up. Another time I could be playing for hour and the model may pop up randomly for a fraction of a second. I want to take a screenshot the moment the player model pops up but it happens so quickly that there isnt enough time. The more times this randomly has happened the more evident it is to me that there is a motionless player model that can be seen. What really got me typing this post here is a couple days ago i was playing and the model not only poped up out of nowhere but it stayed there for atleast a second and a half. Im looking at the thing and i said "what the hell"? anyone else gettign this weird freak occurence?
    Im running all settings maxed and it looks amazing but this is just randomly weird.

        Play less, smoke less, open your blinds, and maybe - just maybe you should go see a doctor

        never seen such a thing.

          Yeah that **** has happened to me, basically in every round. Just for a split second I see an oposition soldier. Scares the **** out of me sometimes.

            :laugh: , I dont believe its my video card because I recently had a 9800 pro before i decided to upgrade and it happened atleast once before I got this x800 xl. Im running all settings maxed on an xp3200 1.5 gig ram and that x800 xl. Its not artifacting or any abnormality its the entire player model "for which army" i duno it happens so fast, also its the correct size for its location on screen.... meaning if it pops up infront of me like it did that last time a couple days ago it is the correct size it should be as if there was really a player there in the spot i see the model in but ive started remembering this more often because each time it happens i think what the hell whered he come from and by the time im thinking this the model has dissappeared.

              lol, and i thought i wuz goin crazy.
              ya, i've seen it a few times. mostly as soon as i spawn.
              it usually pops up bout 10 ft in front of me and then goes away really quick.
              weird.
              one time i spawned and saw it, shot it, and it just dissapeared. looked like a normal player.

                I saw that a few times. But for me I see them sitting above ground in most cases. I guess its some sort of mount/dismount-possition lag when a player enters/leaves a vehicle.

                  YAAAY IM NOT CRAZY! - ok now that ive got that out the way , the phantom model made me blow some c4 I had boobey trapped an alley way with on karkand.... im laying there prone with the detonator ready and here pops the phantom model and my mental reaction is where the hell he come from and my physical reaction was to blow the c4 ...... then the model disappeared and I was highly ****ed because I got fragged right after that from a position that my c4 wouldve destroyed.

                    Maybe there should be a support group like "AAA" for those few of us who have been harrassed by this model.... Hi, im john , "HI JOHN!" .... Its been almost 2 whole weeks now since Ive seen the phantom model, "Good for you john!" "Can everyone say Yay! , JOHN!??"
