BF2S Forums The red tag bug lives in 1.4!

the red glitch isnt the a problem with ea or dice, so quit bagging on them...ive seen it happen, its the player that causes the red glitch, and the server also has something to do with it....when a player just joins the game, by default they will be forced to go into the mec/chinese side, but if its uneven then server changes them to US side, problem is, server does not register that player as an ally but still an enemy. and vice verca for friendly enemies....anyone who has bf2cc, do this on ur server and see what happens: have an uneven team, and switch one of the guys to the opposing team using admin command Move to other team by force, if the player spanws at the same time that command is given, the player spawns on the team they chose, but with the red bug, and they still have the original costume, only difference is that they're actually an enemy

oh, so its not their fault that the software they coded cant properly recognize that a person switched teams, especially when forced by the program itself. that makes no sense whatsoever. you even say yourself that it has to do with the server not registering the player properly. which is what, coded by dice. so how its not their fault is beyond me.

also to you idiots who say if you cant tell someone is on your team you deserve to be punished: its impossible to tell when they are across the airfield in wake for example or in a vehicle. compared to the people i play with my tk's are half and 90% of those are from the red name bug. unlike most i can actually hit my target even in a crowd. if someone is close i can see that their uniform is the same as mine. however there are times that it can not be distinguished. due to this the punish system needs to be revised, or removed altogether.

its funny that poe2 can recognize that someone has the red bug and will kick that person from a server but dice themselves cant even do something like that. no, its actually really sad that the mod community can do a better job with their engine than the company that did it themselves.

I'm sry.  I am not from the UK(thank goodness) so is that supposed to be funny or something?

If you're more than 50 metres away from someone, it's v hard to distinguish uniforms, and unless you're a sniper, you're gonna let off some rounds. Team damage is the least you'll do. End of the day, this bug is fkin annoying, and you're a cunt for trying to say a player is at fault for TK, and not the game designers.

What have you got against the UK? What's so great about Canada? Twat.

He doesnt represent Canada (thankfully) - you know how there are always some bad apples, well hes one of them

The UK and Canada are both fine

Disgraceful of DICE/EA to still have this bug... think this will go down into game history as the most embarassing they-can't-fix-it-bug ever!

To those twats that says LOOK AT THE UNIFORM!... try looking at their uniform thru those thick vehicle armour, genius!!

The way I look at it, its 1.3 with a new map.  Sucks, but good enough for me to keep my interest in the game for a little while longer.  I was starting to get bored with BF2, and considered moving on for the most part.

except for the fact ive played this game for hours on end without a crash. 1.3 my ass.

lol.

I think if EA had spent the time and money on re-writing the bf2 engine instead of releaseing patches to nerf things and crash others the game would be half decent.
