Well I'm not really sure what just happened but I just killed 3 people on my team and I owe them an apology. Everyone on my Hud that I shot at showed up red so I shot at them. I've never had anything like this happen before and I really don't know how to explain it. I'm sure this won't be a good enough excuse but I really am sorry for what happened. I've only had 3 TK's since I started this game with closed beta and that is not the way I play. I really can't explain what happened because I didn't even realize it was happening until people started calling me out in chat(rightfully so). Once again I'm sorry for my mistake.

GOD DAMNIT WHAT DID THEY EVER DO TO YOU???

Bugs in the game happen, newbness and getting caught up in the moment happen.. depth perception happens. Don't sweat it, but good thinking w/ the covering of the 'arse.. I may have reported you based on the chain of events.

I've experienced several games where any resource-bases I stood in would turn red, not blue.

Sometimes you SPAWN on one team, but the game disconnects you FROM that team.

That is how sometimes a base caps 'by itself.' Because this disconnected person is afk or sitting on the base, and no one can tell this is what happened.

It is entirely possible your "teammates" WERE red in your HUD, chances are all other 15 people in the game were, since you were effectively a third team of one player.

sounds like a fun mode

Until the Devs start fixing bugs (such as the one you experienced), MWO is honestly a coin-toss of 'which team has fewer bugged/disabled/blinded players' than a skill-based game.

In any given game, ~20-30% of players have a HUD bug that directly affects gameplay. I have basically stopped playing until I see some improvement in the frequency of these issues.

They just buffed ECM. A Raven 3L was laughing its head off.

You gunned down mercilessly 3 of your teammates? One is an accident, two is a tragedy, three is a massacre. You bad man....

I actually had something similar happen today in a game against Phil and Garth.. I had no HUD, and no IFF markers or reticle.. Talk about Hard mode on Alpine Peaks....

Well I wasn't trying to cover my 'arse, I was just trying to apologize to those I played with and this was the only way I could think of. They probably should report me I know I would be pissed if I was on the other side of things and wouldn't blame them a bit.

Where is the Space Pope? This man needs absolution for his sins!

I believe that this is a known bug. Don't sweat it.

Malachy Kidd is a beast. This was just the matchmaking system attempting to balance teams. He still won the match anyway. When 12v12 is implemented, making it 23 vs Kidd might be a better balanced match for the enemy team.

Massacres are the only thing he knows...he just can't stop at one or even fourteen....he's not satisfied until he's the only person left. He usually starts a match by posting "It's a massacre and no one is getting out alive!" to All.

Brings a whole new perspective to seeing red.

You are secretly a Clanner as of last patch. You will spend random matches killing all you see.
