This is what you call infiltrating! Op? - Page 2

I think this is quite normal. I've seen it a lot and I've done it myself, only I didn't get to be there as long as on the video. A lot of times I seem to be the only one that sees enemy in the middle of our group of people. But it's kind of hard to shoot at him, since there are so many teammates around. I think it happens because people are dumb or they just don't expect someone to just run in a group of enemies alone. Either way, it happens a lot.

And it is a fact that some people can't see infiltrators at all for some reason. I can see them sometimes up to 20-30 meters (medium graphics quality) while the teammate that stands right next to that infiltrator is completely unaware that he is next to an enemy.

As someone who plays an infiltrator fairly regularly I've been able to do things like this on occasion but this guy went on quite a run. It's suspect, but you would be surprised how often people totally don't look in amongst themselves.

Point is, if it's in the game as a dev tool, it can be hacked.

It's been improved - can't run people over with it

Blatant Hacking

Even with as confusing as battles can be sometimes, there is no way the medics didn't see you shooting them in the face if you were playing legit.

The medics did see him. They where just reviving others at the time and he was able to kill them or loose LOS before they had time to get their weapons out. A few of those medics even hit him at times.

^^This

About 2 times since game launch I have found myself following 3 to 5 enemy that were running to a cap point. I mean I'm like right on their heels. And of course me running as an Engy with Prox mines, well you can guess the out come as they stop in the room with the cap and I run in with them and they just don't seem to notice me... or the Proxies I dropped.

Well, sadly there are a lot of players who have the situational awareness of a moss-covered rock.

Got a picture of that vehicle, I don´t know Hamma, but it can be him inside:

Looks like lag, now and then he attempts a headshot and it doesn't even register, though that could be spawn invulnerability.

But people in groups often leave an enemy in that group to others, or they completely ignore them as they don't expect an enemy to be brave or foolish enough to just walk in there. Considering there is no Dark Light and nobody really giving chase, plus the killspam is somewhat poorly designed (can't backtrack, hardly look at it as it is opposite to the chat) so you don't know if the guy has been shot or not. People figure others must have dealt with him.

There is also the chance that there were rendering and frames per second issues in a big fight for some of them I suppose.

In other words, wouldn't call this hacking, presume combination of lag and herd behaviour.
