Tricksy machine gunners! >.<

[skewp]

Noticed this a few times and it really annoyed me

I see an enemy machinegunner lying on the ground looking in the completely opposite direction so I try to sneak up behind him and give him a stab in the back. I pop out of cover and he sprays me down. Then I notice that he's in a position which can be best described like this: " |\ " The straight line being his body looking north, and the other line being his machinegun pointing in my direction.

That's some serious prone deployment issue.

EDIT: erm I should have probably posted this in the Bugs section. Move pls.

It's possible to move a gun that's on a turning pivot without moving your body and just moving your arms. If you lie on the floor and turn the gun left on the pivot your body doesn't slide with the gun, your arms just move and maybe you move yourself an inch closer so you can look in the sights still.

What I'm saying is that a person shot me while his gun was facing 180 degrees in the opposite direction. That's not pivoting, thats a bug.

Yeah, that doesn't sound right.

Kinda hard to reproduce without someone trying to help you.

Do you remember exactly where he was set up?

 

[NinetyNine]

Are you positive that you're being shot from that location?

If so, are you positive that it's not a MG'er sitting inside a corpse?

Because I do that after I'm killed and want my old spot back. I just nudge up until I can see out of the blockage(my corpse).

Seen it happen a couple of times, apparently looks fine in first person.
Might be caused by people moving and turning while deployed.

That's exactly what happens imo.

Yes I'm sure I was shot by that person since the camera points at him after I die. And no, he was not lying inside of a corpse. The same person killed me 3 times in a row so I'm positive it was him and that this is a bug. I was mad as hell ;D
It happened in Station and he was lying inside of a bomb crater. It's like whichever route I try to flank him from, his body is in the same position and his weapon is looking at me. Extremely confusing, every time I thought I had him and he killed me, I nailed him after 4th attempt though. I've seen it happen on other maps on all sorts of locations as well.

There you go, proof.

Nope not what he was talking about, that is someone using a static MG emplacement. The op mentioned the MG class and being prone.

Yea but I'm talking about the MG class, however this issue seems to be happening with every weapon which can be mounted. I have no doubt that it happens with AT rifles as well.
