Bug in Siege in the Sewer?

Saw something interesting yesterday, might not be new but it's the first time I've seen it. Was playing with fatty on Siege, as CTs, we went down into the sewer. He had an MP5, I had an M4 (unsilenced). Came round a corner and there was a Terrorist with a Glock crouching in the water. Now, despite being literally less than a foot away from him, and us both emptying our magazines into his head, absolutely nothing happened. fatty then threw an HE grenade at him, again, nothing.

Now this is definitely a bug of some sort. The bloke had obviously found some way to crouch in the water and as a result he can't get hit (something to do with player binding boxes?) He stayed absolutely still when we were firing at him, didn't attempt to move at all (in fact intentionally stayed still), or fire, or respond to us in any way. None of the shots did any damage to him, although I caught him with the last bullet from my M4 mag as he was standing up (he stood up to time with us reloading, got up a fraction too soon), which took some health off.

I then cammed him, and he did exactly the same thing to another guy - ie saw him, stayed absolutely still while the guy emptied his mag into him, then stood up and shot him while the CT was reloading. The round before, one of the other guys had said that this bloke was cheating somehow, which at the time I hadnt taken much notice of, but when he told us what had happened it was exactly the same.

So, without giving too much away (ie so there aren't 100 lamers doing this trick), does anyone know the source of this bug? What causes it? More importantly, do the dev team know about it? (Although I get the feeling the chances of anything being fixed in CS any time soon are pretty slim.)

Like Perp said in the other thread, this should be something that's down to the mapmakers to fix. It's starting to get annoying how almost every single map in CS has some sort of bug that can be exploited to give one of the teams an unfair advantage. And the fact that some of them get fixed, and then get put *back into the game* (ie foption electricity death trick) is inexcusable.

I'm gonna have a play with that on a lan today. I'll let ya know how it goes. It must be map related because the same thing would happen on aztec in the water down below too, but iirc, i've taken out several crouching terrors in the water.

Damn mappers

Its a bug in HL afaik. Basically if the water is more than a certain depth when you crouch you take no damage. Hence the reason for Docks being removed from a league. Siege is affected by this since the water is slight above the limit.

That has never has happened to me whenever they are crouching i kill them all the time with M4's and MP5's to me it is easy to kill them and then they do the same to me but the crouching should not have anything to do with it.

StealthViper perhaps you should read what people have posted before you respond, it'll make you look like less of a flid.

Its the basic bugs that tend to bug most, its not so much cheats any more but more a case of exploiting holes in the game :(

StealthViper its a bug in the game, its not possible to kill someone when they are crouching in the sewers in Siege.
