	Xor1an sticks Zolimox and he survives.  <i>(Zolimox did have
	an overshield and Xor1an was in the lead and thus doing half
	damage, but this is the first time I can recall seeing this in
	multiplayer.)</i> <i>(Zolimox identified an almost identical
	film clip.  I uses both his clip and mine during video capture
	so I could get first person views for both of us.)</i>

	Xor1an was playing around with a gravity lift, hovering atop
	it.  (This happens when a gravity lift would push you above
	the invisible ceiling of the map.)  While up there, he fires
	his brute shot down at FDragon.

	cazador has lost most of his shields but figured he can take
	warlock who's waiting outside the bubble shield.  It turns out
	he was wrong.  warlock takes him down with some bullets from
	his assault rifle and a meele.  <i>(cazador was not in the
	lead here, he was doing full damage.)</i>

      <comment>Xor1an hears cenotaph coming up the air lift and throws
      a frag grenade at the top of it.  cenotaph takes damage from it
      after he reaches the top of the lift.  Apparently a little
      flustered he circles looking for his attacker and walks off the
      edge, crediting Xor1an with a kill.</comment>

	warlock gets a chance for revenge on cazador.  cazador swings
	his hammer, damaging warlock and sending him up into the air.
	warlock springs back (with an almost exact vector reversal)
	with a sword lunge for a kill.

	Zolimox somehow realizes that cenotaph is chasing him, in
	spite of the fact that he's in the lead (and thus has no
	motion tracker) and in a different room (and thus can't be
	looking at cenotaph's screen).  He turns and sticks cenotaph.

	later, the box falls on warlock's head doing him some damage.

	kill from it, but it didn't do enough damage for that.)</i>
