Sadly, you've accused him of cheating when he wasn't and probably meritted your banning.

It's a glitch where any one player can appear invisible to you and you alone - It's totally a local error. To fix it simply type "vid_restart" in the console and it should fix it - failing that reconnecting will fix the error (for you or the person who is invisible).

Your friend who spectated him would have been able to see him so it would seem that you were making it up.

Sorry, that's all I can do to help you - if you really want to be in the clan still then I'd suggest contacting them and saying sorry and that you now know what it was that was causing it.

Other than that, they were well within their rights to kick you really - Never accuse or confront someone of cheating (especially a clan mate, lol) until you are absolutely 100% sure.
only one player???

that bug made half the other team and half of my team invisible!!!
the funny thing is I killed a couple of the "invisible" guys just by blasting the hell out of the common "camp spots" for this map. Eventualy I got wise and vid restarted.

(Also in one of these bugs you see a frozen "shell" of the player, that tells you it's a graphics SNAFU)[/quote:736ba]

No, any one player. Not just one.

The shell thing only happens on Objective game mode, so far as I remember. So that isn't always there to give the hint. I normally realise someone is invisible when I get killed and don't know the location of the same killer more than once or twice in a row. With 5.1 audio and headphones it's very easy to pinpoint where someone is shooting you from and if I can't see someone where they should be I instantly go into spec.
