Anybody Met An Invinible Alien Yet?

I was playing on a server the other day, the map was ns_bast. There was a gorge at feedwater control plodding about and my friend started to shoot it with his hmg. Blood splattered the walls and it didn't die. It ran round a corner and then came straight back out firing, my friend shot it a load of times with hmg, blood but it didn't die. This kept happening until in killed my friend. I've played ns since it got released and know that how much my friend shot it, it should have died. From the really short time it took for it to run away and come back defence chambers could not have healed it enough. It was definately the same gorge each time.

I'm posting it a bit late because just a second ago somebody said that they had the same problem with a skulk. Are we the only people who have had this happen? Or is this a bug/cheat?

Edit: Sorry about the misspelling of "Invincible" in the title, your damn game and the lack of slee... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

    Well there is a bug right now where people can bring models from the ready room into the actual game but since you said he shot you that wouldn't be possible, if hes not shooting at all though its probably the ready room bug...

    I bet it's a cheat... I just left a server with at LEAST 3 cheaters... They where all marines, and fighting them was like fighting a 2d sprite... allways facing you... it must have been ogc or something, because they knew my exact position at all times... (sure they had motiontracking, and an observatory nearby... but with its current update rate, you can't know the position THAT exact...) We got totally owned by them, and they got 2 of our hives almost emediately, and we couldn't do a THING to prevent it... if more cheaters start to show up on the servers I play on, then I guess I'll have to give up NS until the next patch is released... (where VAC will be supported)

    DEATH TO CHEATERS! <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    edit:
    And I've noticed the invulnerable gorge too, by the way... I think 150 HMG bullets prooved that... <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->
    Also, I've seen a Fade attacked by 2 HMGs and one GL without dying... and the thing is, when I'm a Fade, one LMG mag is enough to kill me sometimes...
    Also, yesterday, another *cough* cheater (or 2d sprite) killed me (I was Fade) with ONE pistol mag! ONE!!! WTF!!! There must be some kind of weapon damage exploit or something... We need VAC! NOW! (phew... that felt good...)

    I've only seen an invisible Marine... Guess if THAT annoys you <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I played on one of my favorite server. It was 4 people from ' up ' dunno if it's a clan but they have had that in their name. Anyway... I attacked a Marine as a Fade. He shoots me rather much but then he starts to reload, he runs around the corner and poff - he's gone <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo--> . I attacked their base a little with bilebombs, ran back to get my health up ( I had regeneration ). And all of the sudden I got shot by that Marine from the corner he dissapeared in <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo--> and I couldn't see anyone in the corner only the tracers after his gun.

    Bug or cheat? That's one thing I want to know.

    I dunno about the immortal Gorge since Marines are a little more dangerous...

    Sinister, is it possible that you were fighting with "BOTS"? Because I read in the bot thread that they are currently godlike in the game and from another poster, that they can shoot in all directions even if they are not facing you. Is it possible for bots to play online with players from an admin thingy?

    Yes i have.

    I was part of a 5 man power armor + HMG/Shotgun(i was the shotgunner) and we encountered a fade.Now we all had pings of around 100 ms and we ALL emptied our clips at it while it was rushing at us in a corridor(due to shotgun 10 clip size,i managed to reload once).Now 2 others in that squad were elite/vet status and the other 2 were questionable......but guess what?The fade sustained 150*3*16 + 100*2(im DOWN estimating here,figuring in 150 hmg bullets and 120 fragments as missess,which is obviously exaggerated).You do the maths.....

    Ive also seen a skulk rush through 2+ hmg fire + a base with at least 10 turrets firing at it and live.......

    Its a cheat or bug exploit......or maybe hit models are screwed up.......(if you tried to shoot the legs of a skulk,you would do no damage)
