So this has happened to me a grand total of two times since I've owned MNC. I don't know if it is lag or something else. Maybe a random bug on Spunky Cola but here is what happens. Event #1: I was an Assault on Spunky Cola it was on the upper area where the spawn rooms connect. I was on my teams strip, inside/towards our side, and close to the jump pad. I was confronted by a Tank and soon dealt with him by charging him and sent him flying off of the map. I still had 1/4 of health left and wasn't on fire. Suddenly before he dies I am killed and drop dead. The 'how you died' part on the top right said I fell to my death without anyone as the cause. Event #2: I was a Support. Near the same area as I was as the Assault but I was on the section between the place above explained and the ring next to the spawn. I came back up to hack the firebase. Shortly after I began overhealing it. Then boom I'm dead. Never was shot, touched, looked at, thought about, heard or anything. I got the same "rung out" death with nobody by myself at fault. Has anyone else have this happen to them? I can't even think as to why this would happen. I mean with the Support I wasn't even near combat at the time with full health and then I suddenly die. =/
Yes, it's happened to many many times, mostly with a bunch of lag though. Not sure if that's the problem, but most likely it is.
Something similar happened to me. I jumped down from a ledge on Spunky, landed on top of a Blackjack, then I just died without warning. It gave me the "leave game" suicide icon.
usually happens to me as i walk through a dead body that barely begins its disappearing animation. My character just drops dead with the suicide icon and my name, but im still in the game
I also notice, not sure if this is intentional or not, but like say a Tank charges and you kill him before he deals damage to you, his body will kill you. Same thing can happen with an Assault and even Assassin when she lunges. Though I personally see it happen more with the Tank than any other class.
