BF2S Forums Want to help bring down a cheater?

Just my penny's-worth, but...it is a glitch. I've had it happen to me.

A guy in my base who is (supposedly) a friendly. I think nothing of it, but he jumps into an APC and starts shooting at me. I don't fire back as I think he's just mistaken. He kills me. I scream gently about him being an asshat, and complain to my 2 housemates who were on the server with me on Teamspeak. I then wonder why it didn't show as a teamkill for him. I read out the guy's name and ask housemates which team this guy's on. They both say 'the enemy'.

He had a blue name tag, showed up on my radar and was dressed in US gear. It seems the red name tag bug thing is reversing sometimes.

Hurrah. If EA/DICE release Special Forces in the same state as BF2 was released in, I'll be calling up their helpline to chew the ear off the phone monkey who answers it.

You didn't say that in your original post. Post facts first, then argue the toss later

Seriously, if it really gets to you, just change servers... Is it really worth the hassle and blood pressure just to catch one alleged hacker when there are possibly hundreds of them. Just go elsewhere man, it's just a game. Take this message with you when you go to bed tonight, play it throughout the night. . . it's just a game, it's just a game

Sleep well my friend



Thank you for saying that, more people need to read that.

You're welcome

Okay guys, just got an AIM message from buddeee.

It's hacks. You all were wrong, and he admitted it.

All is well, he said because we play on the same server he'll stop.

And you have proof of this?

Just because the guy SAID he was hacking doesn't mean he was. I guess you don't know what sarcasm is do you?

IT IS A GLITCH. And unless you prove otherwise it will remain to be a glitch.

Alright, so you're saying this is a glitch.

Any Chinese guy crosses your path. Chinese red name, Chinese clothing, Chinese talking. He doesn't see you team talking, you can't invite him into your squad. He's running, and he shoots at you. He's running to take your flag. He kills your teammates. His teammates, however, do not kill him. You kill him, no teamKILL penalty, No "Cease Fire", but you get team damage. Let's say you run to revive him, and it doesn't work.

Alright, read that carefully and get back to me. I've encountered the red name glitch a few times, I've killed a teammate with a red name and they later reappeared as a friendly, and I got no damage. Then I ask Buddeee if that was a tk, and he says "you fucking fag". Then I call him a cheater, he repeats the swearing. It's happening to my other teammates too, and A PERSON ON THE OTHER TEAM SAYS "Oh, you finally caught him for that?".

Apparently the person on the other team might have accidentally killed him, because they got the teamkill negative points AND the extra team damage.

So counting all of this, this is the red name glitch? No sir, considering I've played in games that had the glitch.


edit: Boomer, don't think your smart. When I mean enemy name, I mean enemy colored name. Not like XiuZhang, but a red "buddeee"
