Yesterday i think i seen a light bodytype with heavy weapons.
Or am i wrong?
Because i think it isnt possible.
A few players where confinced he played with a light bodytype but with heavy weapons.
I got another screenshot from this player, a few minutes later, and he looks different, different cloths and with heavy bodytype.
I believe it happens because the game has not loaded his character yet. I’m assuming that even though he looked like a light, he still moved like a heavy. Later on when he looked heavy, it was because his character loaded.
Anyway, it happens sometimes…but its just a visual thing. I don’t believe that there currently any light-with-heavy weapon exploits anymore.
There used to be an exploit where you changed body type to heavy, selected a heavy weapon and tehn changed body type back to light and as long as you didn’t go back to the weapon screen you’d be a light with a heavy weapon.
I’m not sure if they fixed that at all. Someone said that you looked like a light but moved like a heavy??? I never tested it but it wouldn’t surprise me either way. (How difficult is it to reset weapon selection when changing down a body type? Not difficult at all. Couple of if-else statements and a method call if things are done properly).
I believe that the glitch was patched, or at least that it was claimed to be patched. I have also noticed players with light or medium body types holding Heavy guns, but it seems likely to me that this is the result of models not loading or whatever rather than the glitch still being in effect. I have certainly seen other errors related to incorrect player models displaying before, so that seems to be a plausible explanation to me.
Just watch the guys drop dead and suddenly they show their real appearance. The models were just not loaded in time (skipped the intro?)
Though it would have been a good move to have at least the different body types loaded first, so there is no tactical misperception happening. “Oh careful, here comes a light on our flank!” “Where?! I only see this poor heavy and hes dead in a sec!”
For a game that’s pushing the customization aspect you’d think that funny glitches that prevent people from properly seeing the customization would be one of the first things you’d want to patch as a high priority item?
I’ve played games where everyone looked like me until they got killed and then suddenly their model changed to their real model. First time it happened was a bit disconcerting (especially since I was playing an Op at the time and it makes you wonder if your disguise is going to work now).
At least that glitch seems to work itself out fairly quickly in a match.
I was the one that made the screenshot, i am not the player with the lightbody type and the heavy weapon.
But: this player played the first half of the map as light with heavy weapon, after the second half of the map he was playing with the heavy type.
It looked like he moved like a light bodytype.
Well ok, lets hope it was a loading error.
