The new flare gun, aim it correctly while having your right side facing a wall/corner of certain things. Bam, the flare is stuck in the wall and particles. Fire 100x of these and what do you get? Tons of FPS lag, fantastic. Some jerk was doing that in a server I was in that was 24/7 fort, and fort is apparently perfect for it. He did it so much that wherever you went, it was consistently FPS laggage. :( We banned him and reset the map.

Did you use the report a bug feature?

Nope. I will sometime, but I am quite sure this is well known.

I've actually never seen it done. I want to experience/cause this. :p

Same thing happened on our server on Sunday. I logged in and everyone immediately asked me to spec this guy, as they saw him doing it. Needless to say, he was banned in a few minutes, but I checked the Steam forums yesterday and saw no mention of it either. It lags everyone out terribly ... I mean really, really chugging it with (guesstimate) about 33% frame rate dropoff.

I couldn't heal at a med station while on fire last night. I got there with half second to spare, but it didn't heal me.

Yeah, I keep my health all the time after a medic heals me. I think there is a weird glitch. If you get healed and then like go to a dispenser or something, it like keeps it there.

I've seen a flare stuck once on the 2fort battlements. Luckily, no one knew it would screw the server yet. Guess the 'tards are coming out now.
