I was in a tower, in 3rd person running to get something at the equip terms then i was like wtf.. and I stopped running, I had to position the cameras a lil bit, and finally got it to stay up. Its just a weird bug I am guessing, but there is water in the tower! Leakage (http://www.frailart.net/members/syke/water.jpg)

yah, like I said though, it took me a couple times to get it, i ran down the steps and noticed it for a second, then it took me like 5 mins to get it back.

I've seen that a couple of times post-beta. It nevers stays around though.

Looking at it from a technical view, I'd say it's when the tower basement goes below the continent's preset "water level" (which would go through the entire continent, including land - you just cannot see it). The insides of bases should normally "tell" the water to not be created within its boundaries but somehow this bug is stopping that from happening at times.

... I know this can happen because it happened to me a few times when I was making Tribes 2 maps and I'd imagaine it's a similar problem. :D

Water is temperamental, I mean, if I have a harasser in there for 15 secs it dies, but I could stay under for like 2 minutes easy. I crossed this huge stretch of land underwater, it was pimp.
