Instant Hive Building?

<div class="IPBDescription">bug or fact?</div> Anyone ever seen this?

I was on a server with whatever plugin that is that allows you to see health of structures, and a group of us did a jetpack/HMG rush on a hive.

It was noname and we flew in there and cleaned up, the hive went down in seconds. So, we took out all the structures (there weren't many) and turned around and the hive was up again. BAH! So we took it out AGAIN. As soon as it was down it went back up so I jumped down into the pit (this was the nameless hive, btw) and in the pit there was a cloaked gorge building the hive. So I shot him dead.

Then I flew back up and emptied a full lv 3 clip of hmg shot into the hive, as I was reloading I noticed the hive was around 2500 hp. Whilst I was trying to figure out how the hive got so much health, a skulk popped in and xenocided me.

Imagine now, how long it takes a person to fly down into the pit, kill a gorge, reload, and fill the hive with 1 clip of hmg shot. That's not long enough for a hive to completely build. So why did it have so many hitpoints and why did the skulks have xenocide. I claim it's a bug, the other side says it's because they're leet.

Has anyone else experienced this phenomena? Does the hive continue it's "progress of construction" if you put it right back up after it is killed?

p.s. another thread on the forums reminded me of this so I suddenly became curious.

    ok first, was there an admin in there at all? because i HAVE seen this where the admin would turn on cheats or "sv_cheats or sv_fun or sumthing which gives all hives instant build and or one hive to do this actually i wa in a game this morning and they relocated to comp core so we all rushed in wuith a gorge and he built it in there they killed us all but the hive was completly up in elss than 2 minutes and eys they were attacking it. if there was no admin i would assume its a bug like you said the hitboxes might have been "messed up" and when you thought u hit it you really didnt <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I love that cool alien voice, it goes, "Our hive is complete!" Buahaha, that ensures certain death for the marines, if only they could hear it.

    If you've been playing for a while, and you see something completely mysterious happen, chances are it's the server or a cheat. If you like it, favorite the server. If you don't, leave. Not much more to it than that. There are a lot of really bad servers out there, but plenty of good ones, so be picky about where you play <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I have't actually heard those sounds in game before but then again there's a plethora of sounds in the NS directory that aren't used. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they're enabled by the server admin by turning some easter egg variable on.

    i.e. "We Need Better Players!!!!!!"
