I've seen on occasions this invisible ghost (not ghostbusters) with the name "network_connection_base" (forgive me if I got the name wrong) in some of the matches. You could actually shoot them, as the crosshair will turn red when you aim at them.

Sometimes they remain stationary and invincible, not interacting or anything like that. Other times, they run around and actually kill other players (last time I checked with the recolver) and you can kill them too. When you kill them, it would read "'player name' kills/headshots " (it's a blank). When you get killed by them, it would read "you were killed by <> with 'weapon'" (literally that, <>, just that)

as far as I see most of them are hostile, ignoring my signs of friendship such as moonwalking or doing some other kind of absurd nonviolent gesture.

The thing is, I always suspected that these "ghosts" could be an admin/mod/dev checking out on the servers or something, but I can't say for sure.

What do you think? Have you seen one of these "network_connection_base" ghosts?
