Last night I was on PTG and in Bravo squad. There were two squad leaders and two number 2's floating around. I would spawn at one or the other it seemed randomly. Is this a new ability with the patch or was my game bugging.

It's the red tag glitch. I've seen it several times over the last few months. It's actaully the enemy squad 2 squad leader and his tag is showing blue to you. Next time you see it, follow him and check his uniform and you'll see.
That should explain it. But I would be very surprised if I noticed that ingame.M1-Lightning wrote:

It's like a legit minimap hack... use it to your advantage next time.
Now i know why enemy sometimes spawn behind me !
Miles from a spawn point, leading a squad, and they appear !
Right next to me, scares the crap out of me.....
Thought it was just me *relief*

Glad I haven't encountered this one yet...
Problem is that you have to first know that this is happeneing and then remember the name and by that point thae guy has already killed you 7-8 times because you keep thinking he's a teammate. But yeah, I'd definitely take advantage of it otherwise he will take advantage of you.wannabe_tank_whore wrote:

Thanks for the enlightenment I'll definetly use it to my advantage next time.
yep - i've had this as commander. i have a screenshot which i'll post later when I'm at home so everyone can see it in action. after i figured it out, i tried to direct my squads to take them out - but (get this) it was one of those times when no-one fucking listened to me. So there I am, with inside intelligence on one of the enemies larger squads, and it was useless!M1-Lightning wrote:

be careful of suggesting that people should use this to their advantage though: i don't doubt that many idiots would want to argue that this is "exploiting a glitch for an advantage" contra the bullshit ROE or TOS or whatever the hell, and you'll probably get your stats reset.

lol..happened to me 2 when a clanmate was on opposing team but showed up as green on my screen ....was great!!!
I was a commander and the glitch happened to me. My teammates kept on shooting at me... so I went into the enemy's base and sat around and killed the guys there if they got too close.

It happened to me last night in Dragon Valley.
I was standing on a friendly base and suddenly there appeared 3 enemy guys out of nowhere.
They just spawned there and I didn't know how. I thought maybe there's a enemy squadleader hidding in the area. But now I know, I was this squadleader!!!!!!
