What the heck Infected O.o

So, whilst playing in the ‘Living Dead’ playlist, I havestarted to notice that time and time again the same thing happens to me, but never others. When I am on the human side, and kill a zombie with the shotgun, I sometimes get a Bulltrue. Which is just sweet beans, until I still end up dying </3

The definition of a Bulltrue medal is ‘Kill an opponent who is in the act of a sword lunge’… Which to me implies kill the dude with the sword while he is lunging at you, but has not killed you yet.

I’m curious to know why I always end up dying in this situation. I never still kill the person I lunge at when I am infected. I know i’ll probably get responses like “Stop complaining and get better or don’t play infected”
I’m not trying to complain left and right, I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen to them and could explain what is happening to me or send some advice my way.
Thanks :slight_smile:

Obviously when he died the sword flew out of his hand and into your chest infecting you.

Not entirely obviously, as I was unaware that could happen.
I do not normally play infected very often and can kill an enemy with a sword easily with a DMR before they reach me in other game modes. You didn’t need to be so condescending, I was just asking a simple question brah.

The way the shotty-sword bulltrues work in Reach is quite flawed. Even if you kill them, the sword lunge still manages to kill you. I guess it’s connection based and how OP that lunge is (and it’s VERY OP).

It used to be that the human would kill the zombie for the bulltrue, die, and get a betrayal for it (the game would register you as a zombie as soon as you die). That’s how it used to work and man, did many players get booted this way.

.

So my advice is that if it happens again, just roll with the punches and do some work as a Zombie. As a human, don’t be afraid to use the shotgun but for distance, bust out the Magnum so you don’t risk risky bulltrue.

Get used to people being condescending (and sarcastic), it’s how the internet works and while i am not big on LD, most view as a joke playlist and any threads related to it. Not i am being condescending, just helpful.

It’s called sarcasm brah.

Yeah, happens to me a lot too, in Infection and also now and again in Grifball. I’m not sure if it’s a lag issue or whether the sword is just bugged in general - but Bulltrue sure as heck doesn’t mean “Well done, you avoided death at the last second” any more.

The Bulltrue glitch has been going on since release and hasn’t been fixed yet. It has happened to me many times. It sucks because you timed your shot right and killed him, and yet he still ends up killing you. It is stupid.

But, the most you can do is just suck it up and continue on.

Happens all of the time to me…but most bulltrue medals I get I don’t die, like the one where I sniper a guy lunging all the way across the map… :smiley:
