The heck did I just see at NWAF?

[TheWizard14 372]

After I died due to a zombie knocking me out and killing me at NWAF, I decided not to be a little pussy and rage quit the game. I respawned somewhere near Three Valleys, then took the hike up to NWAF while along the trip I found a Mosin + food + drinks.

 

I entered NWAF at the north side at tent city, and while I snuck over a military zombie came over. I quickly batted it to death with my base ball bat, then peeked at a nearby tent. When I looked, I could see a player spawning in and his weapon was just freshy taken out. I decided to stay hidden and try to watch him because I didn't have any ammo for my Mosin and trying to bat him to death was... bat shit crazy. Anyway, I saw him go down the last tents of the tent city, so I went into one of the tents with no floors. Then boom, he teleporters right in the walk way of my tent with his arms in a loop of equiping his gun or something. He was trying to take out something, but he didn't shoot me and he walked away super fast (like speed hacks fast).

 

After that I saw him go towards the direction of the police station north of the tent city. I searched all the tents after I thought he left me alone. I made my way south into one of the hangars and got myself a PU scope, but still no ammo. Then I saw the same glitchy arm speed hack dude being chased by zombies, and he went into the ATC tower. Then I notice he has a friend with him and they are both up there looting. I scope them around and they aren't really doing anything but I couldn't shoot because I had no ammo still. Then a damn zombie aggrod and I had to use my bat to kill it. After the zombie died, I scoped the ATC and they weren't there anymore. I started to get freaked out and just ran off into the forest to log for the night.

 

Anyone know if that arm glitchy dude is a cheater or something?

Since he didn't kill you and he was too lagged out to get his gun out, he was probably just desynced. People move in glitchy, annoying ways when they are desynced.

I see guys doing that all the time. I'm convinced there is something cheap centered around doing it. The first guy I saw doing it was waiting at the control tower of the old NEAF, guarding a friends body. There was three of us outside and he was up on the upper level doing that crap, no fear of being shot. My best guess is that it's some weak sauce shit that efs with your collision box.

 

Or, it's a recurrence of a bug that was present when the alpha first came out, and that is that on his screen he actually had a gun out and aimed at you. Just waiting for you to do something aggressive towards him and catch you off guard since you don't think he has a weapon out.

 

Anyone other thoughts?

me and my friend were on last night at NWAF, and he was also doing the crazy arm jingle - looked fine on his screen though. We stalked a pair going around the hangars and ATC but didn't engage. We didn't come across any loan wolves that might have been you though.

I've seen this several times with other guys in my squad, its a quiet common bug when everyone can see that player taking out a weapon over and over again and when they walk the just kinda glide across the ground. No hacks or anything, its just a simple bug in the game. :P

Ask the person to put the gun away and then they can get their gun out again and they will stop glitching or "doing the Macarena" see video >

Did it looked like this that starts at 6:40?

If this happens to a guy in your squad, just ask him to take another weapon in his hands, for example when he gets the bug with a M4 in his hands, tell him to take out his axe, then back to M4, and zap, weird dancing gone.

Thank you for posting this one, wow brings back memories, but I can tell you back in the day this song was so annoying as it was in the top of the charts for months if not years and being played everywhere.  ;)

I kind of feel like this whenever that happens.... XD
