Did you look at their skins? It s pretty sure that their skins were those of your team. Their names were red due to a bug that is around since BF 1.0. Happens quite often.......always look at their SKINS not the color of their name.

Probably the best-known bug in BF2.....

Earlier today, joined a squad and spawned on the leader.  Immediately, he turned and killed me.  Same thing happened a couple of times until I finally killed him and the server registered a kill for me.  No team damage.  A few moments later, it was back to normal and we were recognized as being on the same squad.  Weird.  Ever since the new patch, I have been able to play the game without much prob, but have many crashes and being disconnected etc...

David, that's due to the joys of 1.3 mate.

Sorry to say it's like the rain of blood and boiling seas end of days shit, at least if you believe the conspiracy about EA/Dice nerfing BF2 to lineup the release of 2142 =P

But yeah, awful bug to have in a game where you focus on name colour as your prime indicator of threat, just gotta try and register the skin in a firefight as the other guys suggest.

I have had the same problem.  Right uniform skin wrong name color so I checked to see what side they were on.  It said they were the enemy, yet every time I shot them it said "team damage".?.

not always the case though... skins sometimes get mixed up just like tags...

Here's me playing as SAS, shooting a player with an SAS skin and getting credited with the kill... if you look really closely you can see that he had the correct colour tag, but the wrong skin...

It seem like since 1.3, theres the classic red tag bug in some reversed way, so people ARE on your team, spawn at your CPs but get kills for killing you, although having the same uniform... weird, happened to me today at Kubra dam. It was a new round, I started, and that guy was beginning to shoot at me, so I thought it was just a morin who didn't know the bug and jumped into a transport helo, but he shot me down with a vehicle and got points for it. Weird. Didn't say "teamkilled" or something either... When I looked, he was on the enemy team on the scoreboard too.

This has also happened to me.  I spawned at the uncap in Ghost Town, see some guy in our uniform but with a red tag.  No big deal I know about the bug so I turn around to man the TOW and he kills me and doesn't get a teamkill for it.  Turns out he is on the other team.  What can I say?  Play or quit because complaining doesn't do any good.

Basically the same as in my post above... weird. But I must say it doesn't really happen that often, so it's not that big a deal.
