Ok, I am flying on Dragon Valley as Chinese. Some dude with a really long name is on the US. I am blowing everything away, but there is one problem. Every single time I would kill this dude with the really long name, I would get team damage, team kill etc. And he was on the opposite team! It said he was enemy on the UAV, and everywhere. And every time i would kill him, he would PUNISH me. I don't know why but he even started a kick vote against me. On top of all this, IT WAS TAKING MY POINTS AWAY! Yes, it was destroying my score, I lost about 20 points because of him. And when I would go bomb some enemy, I would'nt be able to tell if it was the dude anyway. Anyone else ever encouter this??
lol, i was repairing a satellite station, and my own team bombed me but didnt kill me, and i dunno, it kept reducing his score, every second, so he ended up with -40 before he left, it was going down constantly, i loved it
yeah once, shot a guy about 7 times before i realized what was going on, but when the round ended he was on the other team with the top score.
I've had this happen once before. Same as you described. He was a red dot on the UAV, had red text, was on the other team when I pressed Tab to check and had the enemy uniform on. Yet every time I killed him, I got a teamkill and got punished for it. I just kept killing him anyway though.. just confused me a lot. I even tried to talk to him to see what was goin on, but he didn't respond.
This is the famous red team name bug, EA don't know how this can happen and are trying to fix it, but they need more info how this happens. happens me a few times and only 1 time I been kicked.
But check if he has same clothes, if he has don't shoot, if you do kill him try remember his name if he punish you.

It was a pain that it was taking the points away though. I wonder if he was actually able to forgive or punish.
Thought I might add this, dunno if it has been mentioned before, but along with that "Red name tag" bug, well its not always "Red." For example, several times I have encountered this glitch, but the enemy appeared on my map AS A FRIENDLY(blue) and in plain view AS FRIENDLY(blue). Pretty cool having a bug make it so you can locate an enemy on your map if you have an idea of where he was at. Next time it happens I'll try to remember to take a screenshot. Cliiiick
I wonder if this is some glich/hack that these people take advantage of. Reason I say this is because I have gone into servers already, and one of the rules was that if you had a blue name tag and where enemy, that you would be kicked.subz3r0mkt wrote:

I ahd it opposite in a clan war, I was medic and a teammate shot the enemy commander, but it looked like i could revive him (emty healthbar, heart icon). I didnt try I though, so I dont know of i actually could. but it was a wierd bug.
I had the same thing happen to me today while playing Karkand over at http://www.game-monitor.com/GameServer/ … 11:16567/. His name was in red text, I got negative points for killing him and a punish! His name I believe was (AEF)PTE_SilverFox http://bf2s.com/player/47910019/ This has happened a few times, and now am very cautious about it!

I think, or have noticed, that every time one person on your team has the RED BUG (is on your team but shows up as red); there is another person/player with a BLUE BUG (someone that appears friendly, but isn't, and of course has the enemy uniform on).(BRU)Timothy wrote:

Since this RED BUG - BLUE BUG thing happens so often, I never just shoot players in the back and type:
"Oh my God, you've got RED BUG"
I always look at the uniform myself and which direction they (the players) are moving. The only ones (players) I have ever TK-ed on accident are snipers from a distance. Their uniforms are hard to tell apart and the color gets obscured by the fog.
