Possible Fix for blue/reg tag bug.

[CaptJordus]

I think DICE should simply code back in the way BF: Vietnam was.

Allies= blue ALL the time
Vietnamese= Red all the time (in this case, PLA, MEC, etc)

I think its simple enough and would alleviate the trouble in locating the tag bug.

What a stupid solution... PLA and MEC would have insane friendly fire for months!!

..but like all things...you'd get used to it.

Not a bad idea at all.

Now...just before the latest announcement, there was mention of work on fixing the red/blue bug. Just because it isn't in the official patch notes, doesn't mean it won't be fixed in v1.2. If not, I'm sure it'll be in the next patch.

Let's see.

not a good idea, I remember in BF1942, and vietnam, when teamswitch happend and things like that, you started to make mistakes .

Also this wouldn't solve all the rest comming with this bug (shooting enemy and getting TK , etc....)

if this is a solution for you, well, then maybe for getting all the other bugs out of the game, we must use the BF1942 engine, .... rolling something back isn't good

People will figure it out after the first match they are in where they TK 3 times and are insta-kicked.

No..The best thing they did was to always have you team blue and the enemy red.
As long as they can fix the code you theoretically will reduce those kinds of TK you get from being team switched.

It works in CS if I recall correctly. If people don't have a clear visual on the target anyway, why fire? :S It's not like the nametag shows up instantly and you base your shooting on that.

Yeah coming from BFV I had to get my head around that, going back to BFV is the same, but if they had it that way from the start maybe the bug wouldn't exist.

Our solution is once we find out someone is bugged we politely inform them and ask them to leave and rejoin, if they don't we kick them with a polite explanation of why to fix the problem. We do this because 1 player can annoy half the server.

Re: Possible Fix for blue/reg tag bug.

look, this isn't a solution, first because the red tag bug is not only wrong tagging, it also switches much more (kill enemy you get TK, ....) the wrong tagging is just a fraction of this bug, it's the server who switches the player wrong, and making a red and a blue team won't help .

And second, now it's like this, it's better, and if you have a problem with it, they should just turn it back like it was ??? this is horsecrap, if human beeing in history would have solved everything like you guys (it won't work, lets change it like it was) we where still living in bushes

Re: Possible Fix for blue/reg tag bug.

There is a way to fix this bug ingame manually. All you do is switch teams rapidly and it will be gone. If autobalance is on, you are screwed.

It WON'T work? More like it DOESN'T work. It's a REAL problem in the game. Just because you can't comprehend the idea of one team being one color and the other team being another, doesn't mean the old idea is the worse of the two forms.

I agree that the name tags should be revereted to the form in 1942. It's how the series started, it worked PERFECTLY, and then they change it and introduce bugs? Rather sad really, because so many things they had under their belt that worked, now are broken. The change was un-needed, but beyond that, it introduced a horrid bug which they can't even fix that they've had MONTHS to work on.

And I don't see how the MEC/PLA would suffer such longterm consequences. If someone is too stupid to comprehend such a minor change, they shouldn't be playing the game in the first place.
