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...
I kill the same people over and over in my matches - Especially if someone tries tbagging for no reason, I will go back to the scene of the crime in hopes of exacting my revenge.
It's quite rare to see people play outside of their normal style - Once a camper, always a camper, and if I see the same guy hiding in corner, I know to check all the ones I run by and will start hunting their known "territory", that sort of thing.
If you want to rid yourself of a nemesis, you just need to cut your losses and choose the path less travelled... Unless you have a cool dogtag, in which I will harass you until you leave the server.
@TTZ_Dipsy Problem is its not just people camping. They follow me from flag to flag. Yesterday I had a highly suspect enemy jet pilot (firing at extreme angles and having missiles coming back on me, plus that ultra tight turning they do that no amount of speed control will achieve), where I ultimately had to bail out. Today, that same player was back, this time in a Wildcat. No matter where I went on a flag, they were constantly firing at me, and frequently ignoring other players right in front of them. Only when I finally get shot by them do my team actually have a go at destroying them. This happens in other rounds where enemies have friendly players literally right in front of them, but they completely ignore them to shoot at me way in the back, and of course are never killed and if they are, its always after I'm dead.
Been playing BF for many years now and getting the feeling of being 'unfairly killed' by the same player over and over will happen sometimes, just by coincidence.
Like running in squad and being the only one being killed by a level 5 player, who has 2 kills and 25 deaths.
BF is a mix of randomness and predictable behaviour by players (as others have stated), there are no conspiracy against you.
@Padding_Ur_Stats That's the thing. Often times I don't. I'm frequently saddled with teams that don't hold or defend flags much, so when we inevitably lose it, I'll respawn somewhere else. Within moments, the same enemy who killed me will traverse the map to that exact flag (even if it is not next door) and kill me again. Frequently they'll come in a group, and you will be able to fight and survive a fight with all of them except that one player. Other times they straight up run out to my spot in the middle of nowhere. Or they will spawn on an ally who is being shot to pieces just in time for me to run out of ammo.
I had one guy run up and put a throwing knife in me the second I deployed a Vulcan. Respawned on another flag, deployed the Vulcan, and I'm instantly hit by another throwing knife by the same player. Not even in line of sight from the last spot, which was indoors versus outdoors. Enemy snipers can have plenty of targets but they will ignore all of them to watch my location until I leave it. Sentry guns and Ranger drones likewise have a habit of ignoring allies to fire at me, even if I'm not the closest. Hell, I've flown helicopters over Rangers firing at other players and it will stop to shoot at me. Meanwhile, my own Rangers frequently fail to attack enemy players up close.
