Tonight I ran into a player in a game that was frozen in the "holding a dinner tray" pose that you get when you're holding a nanohive. While they were in this pose, they took no damage at all. I emptied 4-5 shotgun shots at them while they were stationary, hacking an objective. Afterwards, they glided around the room in the nanohive pose (sometimes clipping into walls), firing rounds from their invisible mass driver. Every time I saw this player, they were frozen in the same pose; at no time was I able to register damage with my shots.
I've never seen this before. I'm not sure if it was an animation bug (player appearing in a separate location from their hitbox) or some sort of new glitch. |

The player was most likely getting disconnected.
Your client software running on your PS3 believes the Red unit is there. You shoot at it while sending messages to the CCP server the game itself is actually being resolved on. The server is trying to talk to the Red but that machine is locked up in some fashion (froze, disconnected, network dropped out, router died, etc.).
They will eventually just disappear when the server figures out the Red player is gone. Your client will receive a message from the server to that effect and the Red will vanish from your view.
Fun with servers, networks and online games.  |

I doubt that their machine was locked up. This player was moving around, hacking, and killing people, all while effectively invincible and frozen in the nanohive pose. |

Somewhat similar to what I saw couple of days ago. It looked like the red player was sitting on the ground legs stretched out in front of him and he was "surfing the planet surface" back and forth while shooting at me. |

I've seen a similar glitch where a guy was cruising around in an invisible lav. He didnt appear to be posing a threat to anyone, other than making me laugh hysterically for the entire match. |
