Odd bug I just ran into


(sh4d3Z) #1

So I hopped on Brink to try out the new patch and something odd happened on the second map I played. I was playing Shipyard with my Heavy (online objective) and got killed (incapacitated) while repairing the crane. When I went to redeploy I was redeployed near where I died and somehow committed suicide in less than a second. I think there may have been a grenade going off as it happened (didn’t see any indicators) because I was flown 6-8 feet in the air and landed on top of a wall.

It kind of reminded me of the sticky bomb bug but there was no sticky bomb on/near me. I wasn’t familiar with the kill/suicide indicator it showed either (IIRC it looked like a falling death icon). Has worldspawn come back to haunt me?

This is the first time I have ever encountered it. Anyone else?

Ive encounterd these falling damage symbols a couple time. I dont know how the person died first time, but then theres this falling damage symbol in the obituary, often twice. I even had this myself when repairing the generator in 3star be more objective.

BTW:
SD, there is no obituary message for being crushed by the MCP, eh bot in CC!
