I have experienced this before a few times. Dunno what it is. It vanished after opening the menu/map several times. Which surely doesn't help during combat

Did your mouse sensitivity also take a crap during that time? That's happened to me a couple of times (only lasts a few seconds, but it's annoying), and i've seen other people mention it too.

I've had that happen but it was before this patch

Might be a concussion grenade?
First time I got hit by one I thought I was just lagging too.

First time I got hit from one it also knocked out my z-culling. Best grenade in the world, I thought.

Those are the effect of concussion grenade. It has a huge blast radius and can sometimes hit through walls and sometimes you can't see it explode at all.

It's a helluhva nade.

Drop Pods were always so useless when I played, you'd pod in and it was a giant beacon showing the enemy where you are, always just had a vehicle waiting to kill me. I never felt that the base spawn stuff was very good either, it seems to sporadic like in terms of where you can spawn, never consistent. The Sunds are crap as well, they need to just call it an AMS and give it a cloak...

The biggest problem though with spawning is you can never spawn to defend because if you do you'll just be spawn camped and that isn't fun, so I always just went back to the warp gate and fly over to where we're attacking or change cont to where we have a zerg going.

I have experienced this several times as well, on different servers. I don't know if it has been fixed with the patch, as I haven't played since it was released. Time will tell, I suppose.
