Recently I joined a match and selected Assassin. Just before the match started I changed my mind and selected Support. I thought I was just barely in time but I spawned as Assassin. Bought my skills, ran out and suicided into a Gunner - Epic Fail, I know... Anyway, I respawned as Support. So my late class change was applied after my next death. Bug?
...Two days ago on an Uber Blitz server I joined as Support but spawned as Assult. I only play Support so this was odd for me, had no idea how to function on Blitz. :mrgreen:
I often have problems switching classes. Usually it's when I'm playing gunner, have tons of cash, and want to switch to assault to actually do damage to the moneyball. I'll hit change class, choose assault, wait through the extra-long spawn time, and then it just spawns me as gunner again.
this happens to me on the xbox version pretty frequently. I just don't think the game has enough time to catch up with your decision if you change class just a second too late. When it happens i already know that I have to jump off a ledge and the class will change automatically when I respawn. I never really thought anything of it.
