How did he do this?

[imported_Rafterman]

I remember something similar posted a few weeks back, but can't find it.

Anyway, was playing Karkand 64 player last night. The map restarted for a second round and the server I was playing on did a 30 second or so countdown before play began -- i.e. everyone started at the same time.

I spawned at the factory flag nearest the shallow drough in the river as I like to always C4 that to keep guys from bum rushing through the front lines in a Humvee or APC to take our back flags. First thing I did was run to the ramp going into the river, throw down 4 C4 packets and ran back and climbed the stairs to watch for bad guys.

Just as I got to the top of the first 10 or so steps, a teamate calls out "enemy sighted" and I see a guy going prone overlooking the factory flag -- now this is less than 30 seconds after the map started. Luckily we took him out.

But I started wondering, how in the hell did this guy get to that position that fast? Is there some kind of superman bug like on DC's Docks map?

Re: How did he do this?

or his machine had a raid setup with sata raptor disks or scsi disks..

that can decrease loadtimes alot imo

Re: How did he do this?

Maybe, but with a thirty second spawn countdown there should have been no way he could get there. Honestly I have no idea because even if he did take a vehicle you would have seen it go by.

There's no way b/c he would have gone right by me. I was at the drough, right on the ramp, remember.

Also, I should add that not only did he get to the flag area in less than 30 seconds, but he also climbed up the back stairs of the factory in that time as well.

It's just fishy.

jet jumping maybe?
Some guys will get a jet and fly to another base (usually the opposing team's main base) and bail out trying to parachute to a building or tower top that can't be reached from the ground. This can be devastating if he's a coordinated team leader.

You must be seeing things if you see a jet on Strike at Karkand.

Re: How did he do this?

He was on your team and spawned at that flag, however the red tag bug made it look like he was on the other team.

Thats my best guess.

No he was definitely on the other team as we saw him. At this point I'm inclined to think it was some kind of speed or jump hack I guess.

Just fishy lol

Auto Balance can and has been known to have this affect on players joining the game at a certain point. The player joins as your team but upon sporning the player gets switched to the other side. Something to do with ping rates.

But having said all that there is a warping hack out just like the ones tools used in JO

Re: How did he do this?

I killed a enemy on Wake Island at one of the far Island spawn points. I was reloading and ran around a corner of the building and the guy respawned right in front of me. No less than about 5 seconds later. Killed him again. I did forget to check the spawn time on the server but it was ranked and should have been 15 seconds. Damn wierd if you ask me.
