Not sure if this is a glitch or if it was on purpose, heh. Anyways, enjoy my first TFC video. Hopefully more to come.

Didn't we just have a thread about this?
I was going to post it in there but I didn't want this "glitch" to get lost in the shuffle. Any idea what happened?
Saw that glitch as well recently. Another glitch I witnessed, I tossed a grenade and it got stuck in a dispenser. It exploded with myself quite a distance away at full health and it killed me.
Was FF on, Help? Or not?
Last night for some event I was a Soldier (I think it was during Lag/ Spam fest) and I threw a MIRV. Never seen that happen before. Also I noticed that the “You can respawn in X seconds.” Appears now when your attack damages anyone near the spawn exit (I don’t spawn camp but I threw a nade at someone running back into spawn and the blast also hurt someone coming out) or sniper spawn (which I thought it was legal to toss a grenade the sniper spawn exit on the battlements and never the drop down). Heck even when I’m alive it shows up which is weird. Also noticed the glowing yellow from a few days ago is gone….maybe drippy is doing some experimentation?
Now that you mention it, I had that "You can respawn in x seconds" pop up while I was still running around last night.

I saw some people talking about the MIRV thing, too. But I didn't see it myself.
MIRV thing happened to me last night as well. Maybe during the Lag/Spamfest event everyone tosses MIRVs now. I also see there is now a no grenades event which is real shit when the enemy flag is top spiral.

None of these changes are noted on the "Changes" page.
Well, I was playing as a Demo at the time.... so of course I wouldn't spot it, since MIRVs are part of my inventory anyway.

But.... can some of you guys start recording your playtime, to see if this may be part of the event?

In console, just type "record <filename>". just remember at the end of each round, to open your console up, type "stop", then up arrow until you get to the record command, and..... I dunno... add a number or something to the end.
Where did you get those models?

Confirmed, though I killed myself with the nade in this instance... might need more testing:

Does anyone here who sees these glitches play on a Linux system? I installed Steam on Ubuntu last week and a few things weren't right. I played around with my update/rate cvars and went to X-bot's to see if it was server specific. By some miracle, someone (Gigabyte) knew exactly what the problem was and directed me to the fix. I'll explain more if anyone wants to know.
The server itself is Unix based I thought

From the various sites that people have posted here in other threads, lol. I can post them later when I'm on the computer if you want.
I'm actually considering now that this is not a glitch.

"Gas Powered" = farts AND spy grenades

If so, pure genius. I approve.
Still hoping someone might corroborate what I think I saw once: a grenade I threw bounced off one of the imaginary grenades that you see when you're under the effect of a spy pill.

Might be wrong @Illusion >:p
Happens during the Lag/spam fest event also... This time everything turned into mirvs xD Jajaja!

Picture, just look at chat bottom left (chat after the event):

Proof of during which event this was- Video, look top right:

Unless it's indeed something new... taking the "Lag/spam fest" event even more seriously - with mirvs only >:D and Gas Powered = Spy Gas? o_O
Yeah, Lag/Spam Fest.... I'm usually a Demo when that event happens... So I don't know if it changes grenades to MIRVs. I've already got MIRVs.

THAT is why I'm asking people to record their gameplay for when that event comes on.

Drippy- usually keeps his cards close to his chest about these events. So it's not easy to get him to tell us about how they work.

I can't say I blame him... but it would be nice to understand them all.

Hahaha "Fart time" is Fite's voice.
At the end I could hear Boo Boo, but I can't tell what is she saying.

It happened to me with an emp stuck in a dispenser too. It didn't kill me though.
