[The_Eliminator]

The pulse meter only shows where they were when you scanned, it doesnt track them, they could, and most likely have moved by the time you got to them.

[whitehunter]

the squad leader uav thing does the samething

ROFL! LMAO! LOL! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I had once some funny thing too. I saw with BatNEt system an enemy through ally APC. I pressed "Q"
button and then "SPOTTED". But I forget that I cant point through smth. Well ..I made our PAC and enemy sniper, or whatever. The engineer ran around the corner and BOOM - blew our APC...I was so imberessed that I left the server:cry: :( :laugh:

[Dr_Zyklon]

yeah, it only scans them it does not track like an UAV. you scanned and probably the second you did he got up and moved, the hud is still going to show that he is there but in reality he might have moved, that is what balances it other wise we would have people with the scanner in their hands all the time, it should be common knowledge by now

[nutcrackr]

I thought these stories were bs but I've seen a few guys out the corner of my eye before only to turn an dhave them disappear. I also often see enemies spawn and disappear quickly (move to another spawn spot I guess) which might be half the reason I see these ghosts.

[Oompa]

Sometimes the diamonds get stuck for me. Like I'll be standing infront of an empty spot where there's a diamond and be looking at it and no one is there. If I take out the scanner again, the diamond pops up right infront of me again, with no one filling the space..

[Crisis]

the squad leader uav thing does the samething

Not true, the NetBat system works with all members and tracks spotted enemies wherever they go for a limited time. The deployable UAV beacon also does the same thing however i can't remember if its a static or dynamic tracking system.

I can concur with this one since I've seen this many time... empty spot and a red diamond that never goes away... sometimes the ghost diamond actually has an 'active' health meter too meaning the health goes up or down.

[pedestrian]

Just because the diamond is right in front of you it doesn't mean that the enemy is right in front of you. You will see the diamond even if the enemy is on the other side of the map, obviously not diamonds spotted by the pulse meter since it has limited range. So you may see a diamond there after scanning with your pulse meter but the enemy may be on the other side of the wall you're staring at.

[venny]

ive seen it too. empty red diamonds in the ground or at some impossible spots on the map and nobody there, like the red diamond is stuck on that spot. u can keep scanning that area and the diamond still appears there but there just isnt anyone there! i should take an ss of it one day...

Ghosts don't have heartbeats... 'cause they're ghosts!
So, that's not your problem.
Are you sure you aren't pulling out a PK meter?

(I wonder if anyone is gonna get that one)

Seriously though, how can you be sure there wasn't someone there that moved? He coulda darted around the other corner while you were darting around yours or he coulda been an active cammo user.

[BrotherWill]

It does indeed track them. The problem you are having is you are misjudging the range. Sometimes it will look like they are right around the corner, when they are actually the next building over. It doesnt do range, only direction.

looks like something i had to blow into in the woods one night then had to pay a bunch of money :rolleyes: but i still say im innocent...it was the residue of the guy that blew before me :cry:

[UBERFurious]

I use the Otus all the time and it is a massive problem. Some times it puts a red diamond on a dead enemy's pack and sometimes just on empty ground. The HUD is very buggy IMO.

Thanks Talus... I was startin ta feel old.
Old 'n geeky.
:p

[HG_Eliminator]

I too have see ghosts.. typically when im turning around fast or moving quickly il see a glimmer of a form and then it's gone...usually around spawn points... i think the game partially renders a player for spawning then realizes its under enemy rule and moves them to a Free spawn point...

[|D|-Max]

the ghost thing started after one of the Patchs were Released

[Aegis001]

I saw it happen, not when i was spinning, it was on cebere, full so i wasnt scawerd ¬.¬ I saw a guy pop right in front of me, his legs move like he was landing and then he dissapeared

I also saw a guy spawn in as a walker on the minimap...then it dissapeared, these where in seconds of each other

[SkyRaptor(RUS)]

I ain't afraind of no ghosts! The ghosts are afraid of me!:mad:

[fshy94]

Actually the ghost bug is a problem, albeit minor. When I see a "ghost" I know that someone has just spawned in the vicinity around me, and I can surprise them. Helps a lot when capping silos or flags, but bad for defenders.

[Aegis001]

OMG yous is using teh H4X!

;)

[SkyRaptor(RUS)]

As for me: I NEVER HAD these bugs...

[tonks950]

I actually had this problem in the demo and I think its only happened once in the full game.

I was running through hills near a silo and when i look down to the road leading into it I see any enemy in the middle of the road in the "sitting pose", sort of like he is in an fav but without an fav. So I open fire, it does some damage, then the bullets start going through him and then he just suddenly disappears.

[so1id sn@ke]

These ghosts appear all the time with the CO sat-track. UAV doesn't have them to my knowledge though. I look like such an idiot when I'm pointing to my team a red dot from the sat-track and there's nothing there. :rolleyes:

[venny]

bump!
i finally got an ss of a mystery red diamond as proof that the dystek pulse meter doesnt always work. there was definitely nobody there, never was. cos i was there.

Hmm....

That diamond looks awfully small, I wonder what's the cause?

lol, right.

Rofl! :rofl:

As other have said already, the Pulsemeter only puts static diamonds after scanning, the enemy could have been blown off to the other edge of the map meanwhile ;)

And judging by the fact there are no damn footsteps sounds in the game, and you can only hear a car when it's 1 meter behind you - doesn't make me skeptical of ghosts :P
