So I did a bit of looking through the code and I found out it screws up in TransformAnglesToPlayerSpace. Not sure exactly why this isn't working, but setting SetIgnorePitch to true deals with the issue, but you loose that somewhat neat rotation the object is given when you move the object above your head. Since the team I am working in prefers this since it makes it easier to stack objects, I probably wont get around to actually tracking down the problem.
If anyone is interested, all you need to do is: In function CWeaponPhysCannon::AttachObject( CBaseEntity *pObject, const Vector &vPosition ) change this to true like so m_grabController.SetIgnorePitch( true ); and in function CWeaponPhysCannon::ManagePredictedObject( void ) change this to true like so m_grabController.SetIgnorePitch( true ); Its a great quick fix until somebody hunts down the problem, and I personally prefer it this way.
