Assigned Enemies
I can't be the only one experiencing this, but I'm convinced every Battlefield game assigns four players at least to multi-kill you throughout the round. In every single match, out of 32 or 64 enemie...
@Moab23take a screenshot after death that shows your score against them. You must have players that you are 0-5 against (or worse). This would make your concern more credible because I do have some theories that this would fall under, but not for the reasons you are giving.
My theories:
1. There is a bug that shows the wrong player name that you encountered. Most likely. Have you ever seen in the kill log, Player 8 or Player 10? The game tracks by player number, not player name. So it is very easy for this to be broken where the same player or players show up over and over again on your client. This also goes for the Specialist/Skin they are using. That is what you see, not necessarily who they really are.
2. DICE gives random player names to bots. How many players use lowercase characters for their entire names? Apparently 90%. To me it just seems odd that so many players have such random and basic names. They feel like they are randomly generated. Hmmm.
3. DICE randomizes player names in general, so the player killing you might not actually be the one that is. The same goes for the scoreboard. It is all fake.
To be honest, I have noticed this before. I would die and think the death was odd. Spawn somewhere completely random and away from that player, then encounter them again seconds later at the new location. One time I literally spawned, ran to a completely random part of the map totally out of view of any player, friend or foe, and within 30 seconds, that player just randomly popped up out of what felt like nowhere and killed me. I just quit.
@Adamonic Probably not allowed to screenshot with player names and put them here. The number of deaths against me is always, at the least, four. Always. You can have a single digit rank player who will inexplicably zap you and it will always be four times or more. Every match has 3-4 payers who do this, and they're either impossible to kill, or constantly ambush you in a manner that suggests they constantly know your precise location. They're frequently on the higher ratio of KDR as well, so when I see brand new players doing this, something is off.
