    I've seen this bug happen a few times in the past few days. It's new in the released version; wasn't in beta (that I saw). When joining a server (or sometimes starting a new map), it'll take an extra long time for me to spawn. When I do, I'll have $650 in cash, i.e. twice the starting $300 plus the first time-awarded $50. If I press tab to look at my scores/monies, it'll only show me as having $300.

    The first time it happened, I joined a new server and picked Tank. It had put me on the blue team, but after taking extra long I spawned on Orange (but curiously with a blue coloured jet gun) with the extra monies. This makes me think that it's related to early autobalancing - you join one team and get the starting cash, then it throws you over to the other and gives you the cash again.

    Second time (that I remember) was last night. The next map on the server started, I picked gunner and it took extra long to spawn. I didn't notice which team I started or ended up on, but I had $650 which meant an early double minigun.

    Third time I've noticed it was between those 2 times and seemed to happen to an opponent. I was killed early in a match by a Gunner with the double mini. But it showed his recorded cash as only being in the $440s. Obviously you can't get the double mini before $550 in legit earnings. At first I thought he was hacking and was pretty mad, but as the match progressed it turned out he wasn't very good. Later on I got the bug again (the 2nd time I just listed), which clued me in and reminded me of that first time as a tank.

    An extra $300 in cash is a big deal early on, so I hope you guys can fix this one quickly.

    Oh, I guess now that I think of it, it's happened to me and my friends as well.

    I think we (my friends and I) all assumed that it was just a server setting or something. I didn't more than a glance and didn't care I guess.

    ...but if it's a bug, could it please become a server option? :lol:

    This was present before autobalance existed, so it may/may not be related to that at all. I kind of forgot that this glitch ever occurred in the first place, so I never posted it.

    This is a bug present in the 360 version as well. I believe they are aware of it, but given it's rarity and relatively low effect effect on the overall game it's probably a low priority.

    This reminds me of a match I joined which was about 20 seconds in already, I spawned but had like $950 cash from the get go, at first I thought it was a new thing for late joining players but since then it never happened, I forgot all about it until reading this.

    I think it was around launch day I had it.

    I used to think people were cheating when having L3 skills at the very start of the match (most noticeable is a Gunner with double barrels when the match starts) until this happened to me. Only happened once but it happens to my brother a lot. Maybe like 5 times in the last 2 nights.
