Okay, I've passed this video around to a few people who know their shit and no one has been able to explain it. So basically, it's a clip from All Out War, Dr. Whooves POV, and this guy was able to get a refill of remote C4 without a crate or utility gun. Is this possible?

Best time to start watching is around 0:50.

Maybe the weapon can be dropped (and immediately picked up to refill the ammo) if sv_nodrop is false with a modified client, the same thing that got Galactus and some other people banned a while ago.

Either that or a coding bug on the mod's part.

You don't need a modified client to do that.

Dropping weapons in competitive gamemodes? I thought it was a client-sided check, which the modified client could allow if sv_nodrop wasn't set to true on the server's side. Wasn't that the whole thing behind Galactus and the others getting banned anyway?

It's very probable it's the dropped item prediction bug that happens often in net games. Often seen in vanilla Complex DooM and All Out War.

Also, see how Whooves walks over a burning corpse.

Nope, it's actually sv_limitcommands being checked that lets you drop weapons in competitive (when sv_nodrop 1). It should have been checked on the server (as it's a sv_) cvar but it's mistakenly checked on the client instead.
