A few questions (nametags, hiding bodies, massive damage & hackers)

[lukasaurus 1]

So I'm on NZ16 (don't normally play on this server, but NZ20 had a hacker in it teleporting around making kills) headings towards Stary from the north. We cross the open field and start getting shot at when we get to the hill behind Stary. We turn around and find a guy back north, near the Deer Stand we came from.

I shoot at him and so does a mate, and he goes down. Two things

i) His name tag was orange. We don't normally play on regular server, but I know that my mates names were green. Was this guy we killed an admin?

ii) His body automatically hid (sunk into the ground). There was no other player near him. Why would this happen? We didn't want to loot the body, but it was surprising seeing his body sink.

After that, we start to scope out Stary. Then, we hear fire again, sounds like a CZ sniper rifle, pretty slow rate of fire, so it is a bolt action of some sort. My mate gets hit, and ends up dead, and then I get hit, and get taken out. My final blood count is -139000 (there are no decimal places there)

iii) Is that even possible, or were we facing off against hackers?

1) Unidentified targets appear orange.

2)He combat diconnected, so his body sunk into the ground as he wasnt dead.

3)He shot you with an as50 inflicting 35k damage in blood. or around 150k if he used nato rounds.

1 and 2: Someone can correct me if i am wrong: the orange thing is when someone is connecting. If the body just sunk down he definitely alt+f4.

For the blood lost, it must be an as50 or m107 to performed that kind of damage.

Again, i'm just guessing.

Can't really weigh in on the first two, but the third: The AS50 can do 174205 damage in a shot. They may have found the gun legitimately, they may have hacked, but the gun can do that much damage when it is loaded with it's native ammunition as opposed to the m107 rounds. It's an anti-material rifle primarily used for killing vehicles, but players die from it no matter where they are hit and it is a favourite for hackers.

Well... i wasn't very far from that :D

We definitely got him. Also, he was firing at us, so he wasn't connecting. Mates kill count went up and his name flashed along the bottom as dead. he probably tried to alt f4, but wasn't fast enough. But that's all good to know that at least we weren't facing hackers, and they just got the better of us (we all noobs).

Maybe not a hacker, but a pussy yes! combat logging is just... cowardliness at it's best

I randomly hit ALT-F4 and nothing happens? lol does it not work for me?
