My clanmate send me this screenshot. It was today on Thors Brigade PR ABR SSM server. One of my clanmates was in the opposite team (MEC) but he looked like a guy from USMC (as you can see he doesn't have any name tag over his head). I've seen such thing once in BF2 but never in PR

I remember this from vBF2, I was very confused when the americans did not kill me...

Was the other guy MEC or did your clan member making the screenshot spawn with an M16 to?

The guy that was taking the screenshot was in USMC (that's why he is carring M16

) and the guy in the center of screenshot is in MEC (but he looks like he's in USMC).

Move your self without death and you probably wil looks like those Mr.Bond

Any way as far as i know its a Bf2 engine bug (and some times result of some cheat)
Some times its appears from nowhere some times after "admin decision"

This actually happened to me on Battle for Qinling. Two of our jets took off at the same time, but they both showed up as enemies. So, being behind the hill and seeing two jets flying over, I shot both of them down.

Then I got kicked...

Ah a variant of the 'Red Tag Bug'

My favorite flavor was (in VBF2) when a hostile showed up on my minimap as a blue in another squad, he killed me twice leaving me wondering where the TK message was. then I figued it out and I could track his dot on the map. then the round ended.

This happens, when you get teamswitched alive, normally you'd die out and had a 60 sec respawn.
Happened to me before, was USMC on Kashan, MEC just captured our main so I wanted to teamswitch, and got swapped back, but still had the MEC kits and flag on caps lock map.
