Ghost bug (boo!)

[Extension7]

So I was playing on Red October Factory, after the first round I got selected with that battlefield commision stuff, so I took the tank commander role. And when the next round started I was not in a tank. I was able to run around so I ran over to 3 germans, they did not see more or shoot at me. My player autosnapped to the position where I was standing (which was ontop of a german player). He got sniped, and I was able to grab his pistol and MG, and was able to be a static ghost. Able to kill people.

I got kicked shortly, not sure if this can be duplicated. The tank commander slot was full and I battlefield commisioned it inbetween the round switch. Then that happened.

Quite a hilarious bug.

Still not as hilarious as the backwards machinegunners.

This 'ghost-bug' has happened to me too 3 or 4 times.

I've been able to control my character from a fixed camera in the spawn. Not very practical. At least the bugs still in the game are kinda amusing. I've also seen ghost hands (translucent) flipping around through the air. Red Orchestra: Ghosts of Stalingrad.

I wonder what went through the head of a player when a spectral being holding a TT-30 killed them.

I had something in the same vein, but reversed. I'd gotten force-respawned right as I clicked on the squad leader spawn point, and I got stuck in limbo spectating the SL. In my effort to get anything to happen, I eventually left clicked - and discovered that the game apparently thought I was actually alive at the spectator position, because my SL immediately died from a headshot at my hands!

This is spooky.

Hehe this happened to me once or twice. Seems like when you spectate between spawns and the forced respawn happens at exactly the time when you switch between players it can happen and trap you in someone else's head.
I call this the "Being John Malkovich" bug.
I too shot one of my own not knowing or seeing from my own POV. The weirdest thing is however when the guy looks at your own avatar....
