I think some people are already aware of this, I remember distinctly a thread which was talking about people being able to cap their own base.

This time, I was the one with the bug - basically I was my own third team. When you are the third team, you can cap both bases, any damage you do is not credited to you and any kills you get are not credited to you. However, the victory XP and C-Bills are accorded to you if your team wins.

This is the evidence.

I was the one who killed Grindmonster, and I was capping the base here...

Observe the 0 damage value. Also, observe how 7 enemies are dead and only 4 kills are recorded on my team.

I killed the other 3. It seems like assist xp and C-Bills are awarded to my team, but nothing is awarded to me.

I've had this too, kind of an amusing bug.

I was unable to use team chat, but on global chat I appeared as "NoUserFound". Also no credit for kills. Also able to cap my own base. Targeting was also strange and I had difficulty obtaining lock.

I remember back at the beginning of closed beta we had something similar to this bug where every once in a while a friendly would show up red to everyone else "WTF guys, why u kill me?". Then it got mostly fixed so that it would only happen sometimes after somebody dropped connection. And now we have this one.

You can identify these users by how they will dissapear from your radar map when out of sight/range - simply turning back and forth on your team and watch the radar coverage. The will appear on mini map when in LOS, dissapear when LOS is away from their direction.

Interesting issue, but doesn't always affect gameplay as most don't really look at the map anyway - as evident by the bumping into eachother and walking into other's line of fire.

If they do implement 3rd person view, it will help others with understanding why their rear armor is stripped so easily as they walk into the path of an Alpha strike again and again aimlessly.

Interesting variation:

I have been in full matches (8v8) where "NoUserFound has Disconnect" messages will appear between 1-3 times, but neither side loses any players.

I have been in 8v8 team when this "NoUserFound" has appeared and then "Disconected" (just after the person says "Gl Hf All" or just after the match starts) but it doesn't show in the Line up when you hit the "TAB" key as anyone being "Disconected". Also a few times (when the persons "Mech" is the last one standing) when I have been in this persons mech on "Observation" I noticed that all the players Mech on both teams show up as red enemy on his radar and in the HUD (Red Triangles over the mechs), when I voiced this in general chat the last time it happened, both teams reported that the "Mech" showed up as "Friendly" on thier radar and on thier HUD.

Cannot find it under known bugs, or new bugs.
Bug is known to many beta testers, there were/are topics about it.

All I got was :

http://img11.imagesh...21201174508.png ( 1600*1200 )

Could cap my own base
Teamchat does not work
Global chat works
Get only 300 exp for winning
Kills/Damage not counted.

I killed 2 enemies, have two 30secs videos ( fraps ) that shows me hunting and killing the last mech, who ran into the cave and tried to hide there. But the videos are a little to big... 1GB and 350MB ^^

In a normal game I would have abondomed you and have gone to cap.
Capping = more credits ^^

But because I had fraps running, I killed you.
And then I saw the filesize of the videos ^^.

Had fraps just installed 30 mins ago, because today I get more disconnects and other strange things.
And "PrintScreen+Paint+include screenshot+save" for every picture is not a solution when fighting.
