Identity crisis?
Do you ever forget what team you are on? I certainly do ,quite often. I remember one time on the Berlin map , spawning at the south flag near the river and finding myself surrounded by Russians. I blasted away at them and felt pretty good when I managed to kill 3 of them. I was thinking what a great infantryman I had become when a quick check on the scoreboard revealed that my points score had gone down to -6 doh , what an idiot I was a TK'ing Russian
Last night playing Guadalcanal , I was an Allied player and I bailed at the village flag where the sp gun and tank spawns. I quickly jumped into an empty Sherman and got out of the base quickly before the Axis planes started bombing. A quick look at the flag situation told me that we held all the flags (Red) so I thought that I would head up the road towards the Axis base and knock out some vehicles as they sped out of their base. I was confused when they just did not appear , what's wrong with those guys don't they want to win this game said I. At this point I thought a drive by shooting run through there base might wake em up so off I sped and managed to kill a couple of Axis on their airfield and destroy a couple of planes. Then someone complained about me base camping when we did not hold all the flags. At this point it dawned on me that all the flags had been red and I was allied doh another embarassing moment
I think it may have been the fact that the Sherman was empty at the Axis held base had fooled my peanut brain into thinking we held the flag.
Has anyone else suffered from this embarassing condition or is it just my age

Re: Identity crisis?
Havent suffered for BF team color-blindness for a while. Somehow my brain sorts that thing out automatically nowadays.
Funny stories though:)

Re: Identity crisis?
I too suffer from BF color blindness at times...mostly nadeing WT or MelonFarmer.
Sometime I get in this "zone" and am not even checking/noticing color of the targets tag, I just shooting at movement. Kinda like T-Rex...terrible sight so kills whatever moves...and eats it. LOL

Re: Identity crisis?
I remember when I first started playing, I don't know which server it was but the map was CAEN. I got confused cause I spawned at what I thought was the enemy flag surrounded (Canadian Base), so I started shooting and they shot me back, I died then reappeared at the same spot with the same enemy freaked out, started shooting, they shot back, and I died. It happend one more time before I realized It was my own team.
Another time was on jif and it was the first or second time I was using a Sub on Midway. I was scooting around and saw a carrier which did'nt appear on my mini map (maybe because I was too far away) so I started shooting "Torpedoes Away". After some hits the carrier started smoking, when all of the sudden Corn and Redshirt started saying "CowHide what are you doing??" "CowHide STOP". Carrier sunk, they both drove over in the boat and even jumped on my sub and gave me the dirtiest looks. OOPS!!

Re: Identity crisis?
I've had it when switching teams to even them up.
You have got in a zone with killing 1 colour & just because you switched sometimes the old brain doesn't switch sides too!!!
Thanks for coming clean Shell. You were not really the target of my wrath last night. A player called mapman kept coming in after dropping out of a plane.
It was a waste of a plane & pointless camping when his team didn't hold all the flags. He made no attempt to use the plane as a weapon, just a means of transport.

Re: Identity crisis?
This happend to me one time. I was playing Allied and died. I switched side because of the teambalance. And i didnt know that i changed the team, and i totally forgot that the color didnt changed too so i spawned at a german base and saw alot of germans. I though they didnt saw me, and i blasted them down with the MP40. Hmmm, that gun noise wasnt from a thompson. And why do i have a steilhandgrenade? And why do i hear german voice on the radio? AND WHY DOES IT SAYS: GNOME-FATHER KILLED A (better said TEAMMATE. X8
Jango fat is no more

Re: Identity crisis?
Hehe.... Yeah I know that prblem too. Mostly happens to me when teammates steal enemy vehicles. I normally start to engage targets with my zook from far away so i see no name tags. Should better check the map sometimes....

Re: Identity crisis?
Nice to see you back last night Kyle , even though my tank insurance costs have now gone way up through the roof!
Re: Identity crisis?
Yup, that can happen - to me, too. But on servers on which auto-balance isn't activated it's usually not a very frequent problem...

How about a T-Rex with a P-40 painted on it, at least we would be safe in the air![JiF]corn wrote:
