This is part of CCP's glorious new optimisation system!
Draw distance (the distance at which you can see players) depends on the weapon you are using and is usually smaller than the entire playable area, leading to players who your playstation isn't even aware of!
Enjoy! |

The server is aware of them and unless somebody Scans them or you have a weapon that can target them they never enter the TacNet. In relation to the game your playstation is aware of them otherwise they could not shoot you. They are simply not drawn.
And the optimization is a common practice so glorious whether truthfully meant or sarcastically implied is not a valid description.
The word you are looking for is unwanted although wrong might work just as well.  |

The TacNet actually often _is_ aware of them. For example, with sniper rifle I can see scanner tags of people who do not render. I can also shoot and kill them, just aim a bit below the tag. So the only issue is that the model is not rendered.

Yeah, I dont think this is the best way to solve the issue though, CCp should take a good look into it... actually you get invisible enemies (only tags are visible) through sniper scopes, turret scopes and tank turret scopes as well. Just yesterday I was shooting a dropship with a railgun turret and while I was shooting it actually disappeared, vanished, gone all of a sudden, not even tag was visible although it was pretty on range. |
