If they spawned on the squadleader, shouldn't you have had 3 red dots?

as I said, only TWO red dots

pretty soon it will be like steriods in baseball. All the honest people start using hacks just to keep up.

Its a reverse teamkill bug. Instead of a friendly showing up as an enemy, its an enemy showing up as a friendly. In this case it was either a squad leader, or a medic. The UAV doesn't pick up friendlies, so it didn't target the bugged enemy (tagged as a friendly).

SUPPOSEDLY, spec ops are supposed to evade the UAV aren't they? (I've heard they in fact don't, but I've never actually tested this) If a squad leader wasn't picked up by the UAV by being spec ops, that could be how he evaded detection. Also could have had a 3rd person that picked up a medic kit to revive them that wasn't shown on UAV due to their spec-ops-ness.

The same people spawning COULD be due to hidden medics, hiding in this game can be so darned easy at times. (then again can be so hard, depending on the situation you're in :P) Although as buggy as the game is and the quality of service we're receiving from EA/DICE/whoever-you-want-to-blame I wouldn't rule out a bug either.

I think that's exactly where this game is going.

Crossbow is right, this is the explanation you're looking for.

I believe there's a bug that has to do w/ autobalancing. Both times it happened to me were on Autobalance=1 servers. Where you die, and get switched to the other side but switch right back again or something.

I'm not sure how, but I failed to defend a flag from hostiles, and they capped the flag (MEC). However, on my spawn screen, the flag still registered as USMC and spawnable for me.

Needless to say I wreaked some havoc until friendly forces were able to legitimately recap the flag.

If this is true, would the bugged enemy medic/squad leader show up on the minimap as a blue dot?

I'm not a hundred percent sure but in my last game a "blue" vodnik ran me over and it wasn't on the mini-map, and it wasn't a teamkill neither :p

When a friendly is bugged as an enemy he does not show up on your minimap as a blue dot or at all. His name comes up red and if you kill him it will be ME Killed Him, will not show as a teamkill. The only way you know it was a team kill is if he punishes you.

Re: please - do NOT say they spawned on Squad leader

We just had rather bad night our server where we had what seemed like quite a few hackers present.

I observed this one. I was taking a flag when a defender came to stop me. I killed him and the flag went white. While the flag WAS WHITE he spawned right in front of me - same guy. A team mate was on the other team and could confirm that he was not in a squad.

In addition to this I observed a spec ops hurl a pack of C4 about 30 feet. I also saw a rapid fire M203 laucher!

I suspect many are using chams or wallhacks also but these are difficult to prove due to the UAV, scan and spotting abilities.

Is your server ranked? could be a dodgy mod?

Re: please - do NOT say they spawned on Squad leader

I've seen some players appearing directly in-front of me & immediately disappearing again, they are only visible for < 1 second. I'm sure there is some kind of "teleport" hack, as I've cleared an area (& am SURE its clear), there are no enemy troops near or spawn points/vehicles/aircraft in the area and then get shot in the back by someone appearing from nowhere. This was on PB ranked servers.

Re: please - do NOT say they spawned on Squad leader

Ive seen one thing that seems wierd and would explain some of this. Ive seen, only occationally, enemies who dont show up on radar at all. Ive killed and been killed by them a few times even. Dont know if its a glitch or a hack but Ive only ran into it a few times so Im not to worried =)
