Dark Carnival, Part 2, Carousel Crescendo. Online versus mode.

[McBibulous]

We were playing an online versus match against some friends of a friend who was on our team. The previous match was fine, and we wanted to have a rematch. They chose Dark Carnival and all was well until we had gained the lead by a good margin, and something out of the ordinary happened during the crescendo part of DC Pt. 2. When we hit the gate button, the music started, the sound of the gate moving happened on queue, but the gate didn't budge. We moved about, trying to hold out for as long as possible but finally fell prey to hordes of common and plenty of spitter goo. The gate finally did open, but only after we were all down. I'm talking we were fighting the horde and SI for at least three to four minutes and the gate opening sound had long passed. We called a vote to return to lobby, but were never obliged, so we bailed, figuring they must have glitched it or something. I was just curious, as my friend of these friends has since told me "the AI Director can do this", can the AI Director actually do this? I find it hard to believe as it has never happened, even when the scores are so oddly mismatched. The Director has never done anything this crazy (that I have seen) on this specific part, at all. Please help. Thanks.

I've never heard of that before. Probly just a server glitch.

FINALLY, something happened the same with me but the gates NEVER opened. I know the caused of mine. Since we had the worst server EVER this is what happened.
Me and my other friends were playing versus mode and we were winning in a long run......then it happened, when i pressed the button that opens the gate we had the biggest lag ever, then everything was normal but the gate never opened. We died since we couldn't hold out.
The other team didn't make it where you open the gate so we never found out if could happened to the other team.

It happened to us once. We started to incap each other because we couldn't go forward, then the gate opened after 2 people got downed.

Remember that if it ever happens again the gate demands a sacrifice before it will let you proceed.
