When ever i creat my own server this black guy appears and i can kill him. it doesnt say it in f1 about that person?
I also was on a public inf server and i saw him and nobody was him but he couldnt be killed. Nor did another person saw him only me?

Ahh...Those are called black ghosts. Theyve been random bugs that have been happening for as long as I can remember. All they are are just bugs the server farts out...and thats all I know.
They're scary..

Yup, Michal knows about them and I'm not sure if he really wants to "fix" it anyway :)

I doubt he will and that he shouldnt its not a very big problem, unlike some other bugs out there.

I personally kind of like it. It's a special treat that only comes around once in awhile and makes you laugh and say..."what IS that guy?".

Why is it that everyone wants to remove the black guy? Martin Luther King, Jr. must be turning in his grave.
Just kidding.
I think the bug is neat, leaves this mysterious feeling when you see him. And who knows, if he ever chased after me and I couldn't kill him, that be pretty cool.

I see him, and anyone else on my server can't. I kill him, and i get a kill and it shows in console as " " without quotes. Quite funny to watch him stop bullets from client-side!

... I think I'm gonna dress up all black and stand in the servers waiting for experienced players :))
bugs like that definitely should be fixed though :/

Were you guys recording demos at the time? As I remember the black guy used to appear when recording demos. (in old betas)
EDIT: Yes its from demos, the black guy appears to spectate your game and records what your doing, thats what I think, but theres a bug thats making him appear..
