Red Tag Bug [Different]

[SillyHalfMexican]

Has anyone been getting a red tag bug?
This is a different kind. Where YOU see normal tags, but you keep getting TKed by half of your team mates because they see you as red. But you see them as blue and the enemies as red. It's quite annoying. I just end up punishing because all they do is look for the red tag and shoot. They don't take any time to actually try and identify you.

This keeps happening to me, if I reconnect, then it will be just fine.

I personally have never come across the tag bug. So I don't know what happens exactly.

This is THE red tag bug. And why are you punishing them? Are they supposed to hit tab each time they take aim at someone? Seriously, don't be so quick to punish next time.

They should be smart enough to distinguish between uniforms. And there is a way to fix it. If you KNOW you have the red name tag bug, switch teams and it will go away. You can then switch back. Jeez, i hate noobs who just sit there for a million rounds with a red tag when they can easily fix it. I tell them that but they are too fukin lazy.

Oh, I always took it as usually one person might see another person as red. Not the WHOLE team see you as red.

And SFTC AKHeero, this guy TKed me 5 times, as soon as I spawned in the base he would see me spawn, and still shoot me, without taking the time to hit tab after he TKed me to see if I'm on that team or not. But no, he just TKed me 5 times, and any time after that was a punish for him. Then some other guys started TKing me, and told me that I'm showing up as red. So I appologized and reconnected.

Just wondering if thats a different bug when the WHOLE team see's you as red. My bad guys, it's just that I've never experienced it up until now. Please no flames :p

Ok, didn't realize that he'd done it 5 times. I can see him thinking the first few times that an enemy squad leader may be nearby but you'd think after 5 times he'd figure it out with.

Earlier i had it happen to me. I was in a squad and a squad member got killed in front of me so I killed the guy that got him then my squad guy calls medic. So i revive him, then i here the call of medic again i turn round to see the enemy i just killed who appeared as a blue tag with the medic symbol above his head, the one you get when a friendly calls you. Ive not seen that happen before anyone else seen this?

Come on Samurai, now you are implying that it takes some semblance of intelligence to play this game. You know better than that. The new patch should have made it really clear that by noob proofing the explosives and nerfing half the vehicles that intelligence is NOT to be an active factor in this game.
