Ok, so I keep running into a player.

 

He's always piloting the same mech, a yellow HEAT infiltrator. He never seems to communicate in game or between rounds. 

 

Here's the odd thing: His name changes. Constantly.

 

It'll be Recruit33 one day, and Recruit2 the next. But it's always the same mech.

 

So here's the really odd thing. I'm a 2300 MMR player, and I can't even TOUCH this guy. It's insane. I can't ever seem to engage him in a straight fight, he always has the drop on you. It's not a situation I'm used to being in.

 

Is this a bot that somehow got loose? A ghost in the machine? Any thoughts?

The Recruit XX naming thing is a glitch that has something to do with logging in when the accounts or names server or w/e is messed up and sometimes it gets stuck on the account.  One of my alts has the same problem.

 

Also, the irony that Hustler O1 would post about a mysterious robot pilot with insane skill is top shelf.

Recruit XX is a fallback name when a person's account does not have a callsign set (or in some rare cases, an early sync error). Anyone having this issue, please contact support (and include 3 callsign choices) and we'll get it fixed for you.

I've played this guy. He's spooky good, always seems to know where you are. Used to think he wasn't legit but he uses scanners.

Still...aren't scanners legal to use ? Or do you mean this person may/might be a hacker who also uses scanners ?

 

confused   :confused:

I thought he might have been hacking at first, then I noticed he was using scanners. So, I came to the conclusion that he's legit, if cheesy.

And then it turns out Laila and Recruit 54 are the same person AND the final boss of the game. Whoever manages to beat him wins Hawken.

As an aside, I'd really enjoy it if all of our errors were themed like the old spambots.
