I hate it when I mow down a teammate because he lacks a lable and it is red when I target him. What is going on?

a bug they have yet to fix despite EVERYONE with eyes having noticed it.
the worst part is when they are in your squad and you're the leader and they respwan on you and you mow them down again.

I wish they would have just kept it simple like Bf42 and BFV. US/Allied = Blue. Everyone else = Red. None of this my team is always blue and enemy is always red.

AND have friends in game. 42/BFV they were green, squadies are green now, so make friends yellow or blue

yea unfortunately they didn't fix this in the patch. I thought they did so when I saw my medic (I was squad leader) he spawned right behind me and I saw him with the shock paddles. I thought he was going to shock paddle me and kill me lol. I unloaded on him killed him and all he said was wtf lol. I was a bit jumpy so I was shooting anything in red. Good side of the story is I did revive him. Bad side of the story is they didn't fix the glitch :(

Oh man, I disagree big time. I wish the enemy was always RED. In every game.

yeah.. it's real helpful when you don't notice when the server switches you :tongue:... I can't count the times I've been auto-switched in CS, and all my teammates are like 'WTF? why are you shooting us' :hehehe:

I agree, switching teams sometimes confuses me.

This is a known bug and happens when a player is autobalanced to the opposing team. If you're autobalanced to the other team, make sure you join a squad so you don't appear red to your teammates.

Guess what. With the new patch we are also beginning to see the opposite of the "red bug." Today somebody was stating in Dragon Valley that an enemy was blue and that he needed to rejoin. I dunno if it was true myself, but it seems every time EA "fixes" something it seems to get worse.

Whoah! I could have sworn that I saw a flash of a blue name above someone who killed me today... but it didn't say it was a teamkill... I wondered if somehow I was imagining it.. but I guess not :dunno:
Watch.. next patch there will be the offspring of the red and blue bugs... the purple bug! :D

The SQUADLEADERS worst nightmare, a enemy beside him and ready to dump a mag into him and it turns out to be your own man spawning on you.
It HURTS to kill your own man when you were needing him. :yuck:
