Exclamation I Spawned With a Tank on My Head or Inside Another Player! (Pics)

Well, I was in a MP match on xbox live with some friends and we play one round. The next round starts and I find that my field of view has worsened, it seems as if there was either a tank on top of my head or I spawned inside another persons body. I saw a tank roll in front of me so I figured I spawned inside someone else or inside my own body? I don't know, what do you think:

On a side note; MP isn't actually THAT bad, but it could be so much better. It really does get fun when your playing with friends or with people who use teamwork.

It's actually your helmet. You're not supposed to see your own helment (since it restricts your view), but this bug sometimes happens. One of those things that didn't happen often enough for us to be able to track it down and fix.

Make sure too add me and we'll do it together. Like many have said it's better with friends and tactical players, even just have 2 on the same team changes the direction of the battle.

That is by design. Not a bug. Tanks are deadly if you get in their way.

If you want to stay alive, don't stand near a moving tank.
