diving off stairs above stage..glitch or..?

[TheSnowmanPacino]

created account just to post this to see if anyone else came across this on ascension. was in the middle of a marathon zmb match and while i was messin around at the box my buddy started diving off the stairwell above stage (with flopper/jugg) (to the left of stage if you are looking at it) and he did this a few times..but on his last attempt he dove into a puddle in front of main stage. this put him into a "downed" state for all of .5 secs and then he was "gone". the little girl laughed as this happened just like when you throw a gersch out of bounds. i killed the crawlers and he came back but with nothing ie thundergun perks gersch.

tried this the next day at his house on split screen and the same thing happened. after a few attempts he hit the same spot and was instatnly "gone".

anyone came across this yet?

its hotfix for the lander glitch for some reason there have been alot of players who go down and instantly to spectate mostly occurs because they are jumping around idk exactly how it works but its been happening all around the map

ahhh that explains it..thanks for the reply. The new rule we use is dont flop. period. good for the cancellation of explosives and ray splash but other than that im seeing alot of people posting their examples of flopping in certain places and insta-killing themselves. thanks again! [brains]

no problem i mean you can flopp just be careful the hotfix is lame about it but not all spots will instantly kill you

floppn really only works on rounds 10-20..hordes relatively small and not very powerful..later in the game its only gunna get you downed and piss off your teammate
