Invulnerable Marines (with Pictures)

<div class="IPBDescription">marine in HA is invincible</div> I have just made some other play tests.

I was attacking an alien denfense wit marine in HA and HMG.
And this it looked like:

I was in the beginning only at the corner, but when those offense chambers were firing back at me and doing no damage I standed just before them and nothing. They were firing at me but doing still no damage. If you want to see pictures of it then download the zip files ns_tanith1.zip
I will post all the zip files with pictures.

You must really see them. I could standing there and nothing was happening to me and could safely destroy those offensive chambers.

I choose some of the pictures, which were the best.

It was all done on 1.01 patch wit showing the damage in numbers feature turned on.

    Here is the last set pictures from the view of marine. Notice the number of health and armor.
    The commander was droping to me only ammo packs. No medkits.

    And here is the same marine from the view of Kharaa.
    I repeat that the showing of damage in numbers was turned on, so from that marine should rising some red numbers like -22 when he is hit but nothing.

    THIS IS NO TRICK OR EDITED. IT IS TRUE. (I'm not yelling, only stressing ) <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    it looks like the towers arent hitting him, which is what ive seen before too.

    once i took over a marine base and built a couple of offence towers before my team destroyed the rest of the inoperative turrets and when the towers started to shoot at the turrets they completely missed them every shot.

    Yes, I was standing there for 3 minutes and it wasn't doing anything. I could believe my own eyes. When I have done the same thing yesterday, offensive chambers killed me in a few seconds (I was wearing HA). This they were hitting me, but not killing. I'm sorry for the poor quality of pictures, but I needed to keep them as small as possible. I have also much more pictures from it.

    Do you anybody also have the same experience?

    imo giving them small splash would fix this problem up nicely

    Whoa, I've run into this as well.

    At first I thought..."Err, perhaps a laggy server, or maybe it's not hitting me." (I was crouched behind a corner, firing away at a group of about 5 offense towers, each one firing at me.

    I moved out into the centre, and no, sorry. Wasn't getting hurt at all.

    Now that other people have been having similar problems, perhaps this *is* a bug? Not sure (please do not flame me cruel, cruel NS forumites.)

    I've had that problem before too, I didn't really notice it, until I really started paying attention. ::asrifle::

    The exact same thing has happened to me on a couple of servers running 1.01 patch.

    I could just stand there infront of a wall of offensive chambers with HA and would take no damage. Even while 5 offensive chambers were shooting at me, still no damage. Not even my armor would go down.

    by the look of the impact it would seem they should have a small splash anyway

    I hope this bug will be corrected in the next patch (1.02).

    It is very sad when marines can this easilly overcome those offense chambers.
    They only need to stand, so they can see the Hive and just keep firing.
    To kill Hive you need some 2 clips of HMG. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    The offense chambers sux O_O. Yesterday when I played on a 1.01 server I got killed by ONE burst from a turret... I had 50-60 ping and I was a Skulk with full health. The offense chambers need splat damage or an instant hit as the turrets have almost everytime <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
