Subject: Is this lag?

Every time I use my equipment, it disappears. I really don't know what's causing it. Could it be my disc? It's kinda scratched up.

No, it isn't lag. Equipment is one time use. You use it, it's gone. If you want to use it again, you'll need to find it on the map when it spawns again.

And no, I didn't laugh. Nobody did.

That's not what I meant. I toss it and nothing comes out. Sorry if I didn't phrase it properly.

And ah, sorry about that then thread maker. Thought you were spamming with a silly question. OK that's legit then, haha.

I would say yes, then. Funnily enough, the response I made to my good friend Cobra above is related. BUNGLE.

In BUNGLE, essentially we do everything we can to cause lag (weird, yes, but so fun). We'll deploy 50+ bubble shields, send off a tripmine asplosion, fusion core hallway, mancannons everywhere, the works. It's fun.

And when we go far enough? Sometimes we'll drop equipment but be unable to see it fall. That's lag. So... eh. It doesn't happen often.

Edit: Mind you, if you're hitting the button and nothing is happening period (I'm under the impression that your character is showing himself deploying the equipment but the equipment isn't deploying though), not even the deploy animation, it could be your controller. Just a thought.

It's showing the animation. I guess it's just lag. Thanks for the response.

Equipment Lag
This actually is when the lag works in favor of you.
I labeled it as 4 for 1 at the time, but just realized in watching it again, there were actually 6 power drains generated by this 1. 2 were on the far side of the hill.

I do this in matchmaking - get 2 elephants on top of the crashed phantom on sandrap. See how many players lag out. So much fun >:D

I run Skirmish!!!

like someone else said, its just the equipment either lagging or glitching out... Happens to me sometimes on the pit when i grab a regen, deploy it and it disappears out of my inventory.... its rather frustrating when it happens
