I assume you mean the parker suited guy.. this happens from time to time in lots of servers, not really sure what causes it , but it may be that someone has \'dropped out\' of the game due to a popup or some other conflict and some particular glitch has kicked in and left his player model behind, the arms and stuff move and it looks as tho he is breathing but you cant kill it, usually the next level change makes it disappear

ENM -pretty much covered it.

Also Ive seen it happen when someone tries to join a server, but gets denied.. but a "ghost" of them appears.... they are in the server, but they cant spawn in.

solution: leave the server and come back

Sometimes when a player tries to join a server, there is a problem. The player is in the server, they can see level, but they are unable to spawn into the game.

Meaning; if they press FIRE they cannot JOIN the game.

The other players see a static character. Also when the "frozen" player tries to chat they are called "server".

I hope this makes a bit more sense.

As Diesel said, this is a random thing that occurs when a player joins and cant "spawn". I call it the "Server Glitch".

I think it usually happens when a player closes a server which they were running and then quickly joins another server. That particular player's computer thinks that the player is still in his own server and dubs the player Server. Of course that's just a theory.

I've also noticed it happen on dedicated servers when the owner of the server opens the Dedicated Server window and begins talking to the players in-game. possibly just a coincidence tho.

He probably has the option "Show First-Person Weapon" off.

I have seen this bug before but i have discovered an even wierder bug .When Parker wears the suit the miner gave him his face turned into the miner .And when u go up the stairs and it is loading Parker turns into this wierd thing .He has 4 eyes one stretched and the other pair are beady little eyes .And when u bring out the pistol and use camera2 to look at him the butt of the pistol is in his nose and the silencer can be seened coming out of his back.really really funny espicially when the guards dont even notice.Parkers suit turns into a mixture of miner envirosuit and doctor suit.And when camera 2 goes farther away the body turns invisible and when u go even farther away his legs turn invisible.If i only knew how to put the picture in here u guys may know how to take care of this bug.This is not a joke it really happens every time i play the level.
Signature coming soon.
