Summary: While playing CBE2, I ran into opponents, on multiple occasions, that were completely invisible and not just cloaked. We would be dueling, guns blazing, and all I could see was the red box around their mech. I don't think this "ability" was intended.

Steps to Reproduce: Saw it on multiple occasions, on multiple servers, with multiple different mech types (at least by the sound of their guns). I can't think of anything on my side that would cause this.

Frequency: Maybe 4 - 5 times over a 3 hours session.

Severity: Severity 4. Annoying yes, but you can still kill'em.

System Specs: Windows 7 64 bit, 8 GB RAM, 2x Geforce 480s SLI.

I've notice this happen once so far, on Alleys, with the invisible mech being a Rocketeer (I could see the rockets and repeater ammo appearing out of thin air).

Australian? Like Hawken? Then join the Drop Bears! Or actually maybe don't, since it's kind of dead.

related: http://community.pla...invisible-mech/

And confirmed. The only pattern I've been able to notice is they play infiltrator prior to switching to the "bugged" mech. I haven't been able to replicate it myself though

May possibly be related to me switching to Rocketeer after using Brawler and noticing I was getting health regen while in Turret mode. but it only happened once and I haven't been able to replicate it

I have to say that I have seen this also.

The mech is invisible yet we see a red outline but no player name. The mech can fire and be fired upon also.

Unsure if this is a bug, a glitch or just the server randomly not sending the right information to the client.
