strange popup in control point mode

[tommybau 1,033]

time ago i  went in a control point battle. all we know that when our team gets a point, a green popup appear sayng like "our team captured point A" and when we lose one, a yellow one says the opposite. but time ago i readed a strange popup, sayng "Red team captured point A". i got nearly a hear attack cause it was red and for a fraction of second i thought it was a gold box alert. unlucky i did not got a screen in time. but this thing reappeared today as a blue one. why this happens?

because you're still not actually "in game" when it gets captured.

Happened to me too. When a player joins a battle, the server makes him/her accidentally(glitch/bug) a spectator for a few seconds in the spawn jump before spawning you. So yes. you see things like a spectator(most things). Nothing bad :)

This happens a lot when you just changed equipment, sometimes it also says ... captured OUR flag while that person is in your team and captured the enemy flag...

It happens when you just join the battle, and in same time your team captures flag/point
