Knowing that I couldn't get my weapons back from this unusual glitch I'd thought I'd run to an enemy and die, but then I found out that I was impervious to harm [as he wastes his clips into me] - I'm not sure if it's due to connection or if it was the actual glitch...But I had the whole of the other team shooting at me and absolutely nothing happens. I'll admitt it was fun while it lasted but what dampened the effect was not being able to get my weapons back until I exited the game.
Having said that I exited the game and joined another and everything was back to normal. I found it quite amusing, but at the same time silly. I'd noticed that I was probably the only one affected by this glitch as everyone else in that game appeared to be dying around me.
