Any idea why in some multiplayer games my soldier gets a mind of his own.

He'll start shooting and moving around etc etc.

Could be a lag thing'but don't think from me as i have a ping of less than 70.

Anyway any advice appreciated.
I am patched at 1.10

Thanx

If you don't believe the answer lies in yer question, then....hmmm.....can you hold thine potatoe masher? Ty.

What?
i know what you mean
it often happens on good but small servers when people join or leave or fire rockets or switch teams.
It usually not enough lag to make it unplayable but enough to annoy you to the point where you say "screw you guys, im goin home"

Don't you just hate that. You are walking along minding your own business. Then all of the sudden you switch to grenades and drop a couple at your feet for no reason. Then when you finally get back control and bring back your rifle BOOM!! There go your grenades killing you. Now this is one thing that bugs me one wierd lag bug.

at first i thought you were going to say something that I have experienced. My guy was actually taken over. He went into different rooms shooting people, running, switching weapons, getting health. I think someone took over him. It was wierd.

Hmm, that's as likely as me wearing Telstra-orange velcro pants with sponsorship stickers stuck all over it. (i.e. not likely)

I want a Telstra orange whatever pants too Daddy! http://www.alliedassault.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I was playing yesterday and my gun was not shooting on its own, but it would for no reason point up or down real fast. Today it never happend, not sure what it was.

It's not lag, it's a bug.
