Strange bug, does it only happen on this map?

I noticed today, when playing map Amazon by Irritant, that names of bots would appear beneath my crosshairs.

I then realized that the names are of the bots who were recently killed.

The name seems to appear if the bot dies within your screen, and will change names if another bot is killed.

I have only experienced this bug on this map, however that may just be coincidence. I have no idea why a bug like this would happen on just 1 map.


Here are some screenshots.

I can almost confirm that this only happens on this map.

But why would that happen?

Perhaps it has something to do with falling off the map?

Yup, it's not gonna be map related.

hmmmmmm, used to do that when people were cheating, sometimes used to center on them too, but that's fixed now lol

Strange...

So does it happen when you join another sever too? Or just on a listen server/single player game?

happens on random servers and maps
i thought its some sorta lag, but you played singleplayer..
it usually go away after a few mins, so not a big problem

This should be fixed in hte new version. It happens when dead players fall out of map boundaries. It is very common on Amazon because it has no polygon boundaries.
