Am I losing my mind, or is it possible for the enemy to spawn into your base?

I was on Operation Clean Sweep, at the most-easterly MEC base. It was being overrun (and after such a promising first fifteen minutes), and enemy troops were everywhere.

But the same guy, dave1612 in sniper kit, spawned into our base twice. I'm certain, because I killed him both times. We still had the flag for that base, because we were spawning in there (it was our last base). There was seemingly no enemy squadleader. So I've no idea how he got to spawn from our spawn point twice.

A couple of minutes later, through the hole in the fence next to the porta-shack, I saw an enemy appear. Then he vanished. Then he appeared again. Maybe he was just crouching and it was my graphics card taking a cig-break. But it looked real odd.

Any ideas what's going on? Can the enemy spawn into a base with your flag, if they have enough troops in the area? Or can a squadleader be on one side of the fence and his squad spawn in on the other side of that fence? Or is this a manifestation of a known bug?

Oh, and I ended the round with -4 teampoints, despite never knowingly hitting my own team. Altogether, it was a real weird five minutes.

Yeah, I've had some weird spawns on squadleaders - different levels of a building, in water. He could also have jumped in a plane at his main and bailed out too - some asshats do that.

Probably his squad leader was hiding somewhere in the area.

What do you reckon was going on with the enemy soldier who appeared, disappeared, then reappeared? Thought I was seeing things.

either the squad leader was hiding somewhere or... you got bit by the red flag bug, where team mates will show up as being on the other team
