red names but a friendly model skin, blue names but an enemy model skin. and even better: kills on red names showing as regular kills but still giving negative points. i was having what i thought was a good round of support spraying on karkand as mec, until to my horror i checked the scoreboard to find i was 0 -17 14 4. !!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea, it's a bug. But you shouldn't be shooting at names, you should be shooting at player models to begin with.

Actually i think almost everyone shoots at names. U cant really not shoot at a name when a guy just rips around a corner from an enemy base with red tags. I think we would all shot at him. I always try to stop myself but its hard. I hate that when it happens to my teamats to who just keep killing u when ur on there team and the other guy next to u is getting a whole buch of points from reviving u. It gets anoying. They really need to fix that right away.

pretty amazing how long its taking actually... makes you wonder if they give a shit at all, or whether they're too busy swimming through mountains of cash and snorting coke from the cleavage of crack-whores to notice.

its the same old ea/dice song and dance

we know bfv is a buggy piece of shit, so here's a boring world war 2 mod (because we know you haven't played enough world war 2!)

bf2's just as buggy? well hell, have a (boring, almost complete carbon copy) port that we didn't even make of a map from a game we released almost 3 years ago.

bf2's still buggy? here, buy this expansion pack!

ea/dice is like the bush administration. people start asking questions, they just raise the terror alert level a notch or two.

I've encountered 2(two) times when I have teamkilled a player because of this bug. However, it's a little different. He had a blue tag, but..he had an enemy model! So I kill him, thinking it's just the color bug again, and guess what happens. I kill him, lose points, and get punished. As far as I know I don't know anyone else that has seen this before.

I have seen all of the variations listed here, and usually they are on Karkand. It also seems to stick with the players; ie. they can disconnect and come back with the same problem.

I think there is a hack going around too. Two nights ago there was a guy that had a blue name tag and his skin was friendly and he even showed up on our team when you hit tab. But when he got in the tank, I tried to jump in as the top gunner. But I could not get in the vehicle, then he shot me. And it was not a teamkill.
I just have to say "shit like this sucks". I don't have his name with me now. But i will post it when I find the paper I wrote it down on.

I think it may be a problem with the team switching, because it seems this happens when a player gets switched on teams, and shows up on the red team, and has a red tag, even though he is on the blue team (aka your team).

Yes, you should shoot at player models, but at distance a person you see in the distance and then lite up with the red tag.... and when a guy just appears at your base with a red tag, you should shoot reflexivly when your xhair goes over them
