USMC or MEC?

[Neo_Mapper]

I was just playing Jabal at the mec site. We were in the city, when I saw a USMC just running to me. I was like: WTF!?!? WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE? THEY DONT EVEN HAVE THE DAM!!!!
Moments later I saw the "blue name" popping up at his head. The most curious thing was, that he was screaming for a medic in english, don't know if he studied english, but usally mecs don't speak english, do they?
Well the medic in my squad rushed to me cuzz he saw a "medic-needed-symbol" popping up at his map. He said something like: ZOMG! THERE IS A ENEMY JUST INFRONT OF YOU!! well then he realised, that it was the medic needing guy, popped up at his map. He wanted to heal him, but it didnt worked xD Well funny moments =)

Maybe it was a kit-picking-up-bug... Maybe we could use it for make some spionage work at the enemy site x)

Well here two screens I made with xfire:

Wow, a spy! I've seen stuff that turns your name red....but not turn you into the enemy.

This can happen if an admin switches a player's side without killing or moving him. The player retains his original location and appearance, but is simply swapped over.

Like this?

[cyberzomby]

Happened to me as well. I teamkilled a guy because he was enemy in appearance but was in my team somehow...

Huh? So one minute you can be happily walking and talking with your squadmates and poof, all of a sudden it's go time?
That would be sweet though.

This indeed is freaky, never happened to me, and I hope that it wont.... too confusing.

[cannibal23]

at least you guys were smart enough not to just drop the guy based on what uniform he was wearing. hey maybe that would explain some of the friendly fire incidents that seem to go on.

i was playing ejod with a friend once, i was on mec side he usmc, so he tried to switch, it worked but he still could spawn on US bunkers n Mainbase n stuff, and he had US uniform, pretty funny watching him kill those poor, confused marines

[WeeGeez]

This happend although it was an enemy that looked like a friendly, we didnt shoot him at first...
We all died.

Server admins can

• Switch players to the other team when they next die
• Switch players immediately, leaving them where they are
• Switch players immediately, moving them to a friendly base in the process

The second two are what sometimes (not always) causes the enemy kit/appearance to be retained, as the player being moved is not killed in the process. They are merely 'insta-switched'.
