I am so sick of this still happening. I got punished twice yesterday even after I tried to explain. I am not complaining in this post, I am just wondering why this is still happening. Hasn't EA or DICE or whoever's fault it is some up with a fix for this yet? I have version 1.12. If anyone knows about this problem could you please let me know if anything is being done? Is anyone else still having this problem? Please don't post complaints as this is not intended to be a complaint post. Thank you for any help that you may be able to give.

- Red Dot on Map + Red Text Over Player's Head = You Were Punished 4 TK
I get the same thing on my server, others have it happen as well. the player will look exactly like the enemy, have red name and red dot on map but be on your team! Pretty nasty bug. It would be nice to have a kit that could do that naturally, like a spy or something.
DICE is definately working on this bug and is adding new features to it with each patch. Since 1.03 I've also seen blue enemies, and since 1.12 it is even possible to lock on to red teammates with the stinger/IGLA. Sometimes teamkills are not even reported.
It's hilarious to read all the curses on the teamkilling fucktard until you notice it's yourself who killed at least 8 teammates without even knowing.

This has happened several times to me, once they were the enemy, the other they were allies..
I reported the problem to EA four months ago. They told me it was a server side issue. Since 1.12 patch I've noticed it decreased. I only notice it on servers with autobalance. It only seems to be players that get kicked to the other team when someone teamswitches to replace them. I've not noticed it any other way. God only knows if EA will ever fix it.
Yes I hate autobalanced servers. I get switched to the other team (usually losing team) fairly frequently. The servers I usually play on were barely populated so I had little choice but pick another server. Sadly I chose two autobalanced servers in a row.
I was playing on Wake on one of these servers and this guy named GPalmer got killed by me 4 times in a row. HE EVEN had the MEC spec ops uniform. I was also wondering how the hell he got to the North Base so quickly with no mode of transportation. I apologized when I finally realized that I had a -16 score as I wasn't prompted that I teamkilled. He screamed at me for teamkilling him, and then he realized that he was wearing a MEC uniform from his sleeve. I was the gunner in the jeep and I had a red square where the driver is situated on the vehicle occupancy icon found on the bottom of the screen. It really messed up my game as I had to be extra cautious at times and point at an enemy to make sure it wasn't "GPalmer" before I shot at them.
Autobalanced servers have been given an Official Seal of Cack's Disapproval. Never again.

There's also a benefit in a different way. It never fails there are some that will exploit it. While you saw an enemy who was actually a teammate, someone on the other team saw him as a teammate while he's really their enemy. I figured this one out when I got kicked over when someone teamswitched. A friend of mine stayed on the other team and noticed I had blue tags, though his tags were red to me. He was able to see my tag through walls as you can anyway when you are a teammate, however in this situation, I was MEC and he was US. He tracked me down by my name tag and kept killing me while getting points for it.
I noticed it another time when I walked up to give a guy ammo and he TKed me, though he gained points for it. I knew right away what it was and was able to find him like I was using a wall hack. Quite strange to be able do and very unfair for him.
Another time I ran into 3 clan guys who were ALL doing it. At first I thought they were wall hacking by the way they could kill me around corners at different heights. But I figured it out when none of their names showed up on the scoring screen while holding down the tab key. Switched to their side and no commander so it was definitley not UAV.
So yeah, no more autobalance servers for me either.
