Hey all,

I don't know the name of the map but it was the one with the Church on it. It was a full TDM, 5vs5, and I believe it was public TDM. Anyway, my team was the Locust (if that matters) and myself and one other guy downed a COG player. Before we actually killed him, he was in the DBNO position and was crawling away quite fast, almost like the days of crab walking in Gears 1 (where you could be moving quicker than roadie running while crouched). The animation for crawling didn't look like it was sped up to mimic the distance he was covering but he covered quite a bit of distance in a really short time as we watched him crawl away. I shot him where he was and that killed him but it was weird that he seemed to be moving so fast. I didn't experience any lag and no one else mentioned anything or saw anything weird.

yeah, I've seen this a few times. He basically looks like he's on a skateboard.

It's possible that he may have been lagging.

I wish I had a capture card or thought about recording with my camera phone but, a las, it wasn't to be. I'll keep an eye out if it ever happens again. Even through the Beta, this was my first time seeing this.

I had the same thing happen to me on hotel, There was a DBNO cog that all of a sudden teleported about 20ft and then was "skateboarding" over and over in the same 10ft section... a few bullets solved that ;) Anyways, it seems to be a lag related issue in my opinion. That was the only time I saw it happen, so the dedicated servers are doing their job well.
