Has anyone else noticed camo is buggy / strange now? Here are some things I've noticed:
1.) As a marine, sometimes aliens are totally invisible and appear out of thin air - other times they give off an obvious shimmer even when standing still. Why so seemingly inconsistent?
2.) As a marine, I have had a few occasions watching a skulk running and jumping around and his body is phasing in and out of cloaking while he is moving at a very fast speed. I would say he stays about 75% cloaked while running around, making it difficult to track in darker rooms. Is this a bug / exploit?
3.) As marine, I have watched aliens try to run away and cloak around the corner - sometimes when they do this, the cloak takes a second to kick in once they stop moving - making it easy to spot them when I chase them. Other times, I have noticed they are instantly fully cloaked as soon as they stop moving, sometimes the camo even seems to be starting to take affect before they even come to a stop, and again I'm not talking about shift walking, this is an alien bouncing off walls trying to escape, so he's moving fast and then in a millisecond hes totally invisible.
4.) As alien, it seems inconsistent. Sometimes it seems like no matter how well I position myself, even with 3 veils and waiting a solid 5 seconds without moving, some marines still spot me instantly without a scan / obs nearby. It does seem to happen more in well lit rooms but it happens in dark rooms as well. I realize marines check corners but if I am fully cloaked and not moving he shouldn't see anything when he looks there.
I'm just noticing all this stuff since the recent changes to cloaking - before this I thought it worked pretty well, and it was very predictable. Now I feel like I never know what to expect as a marine or an alien. As marine, I can't trust that I will see a shimmer. As an alien, I can't ever trust that my camo is working properly.
