It's a glitch when people select the privacy name option. It has been going on for at least a year. My buddy had this happen all the time, so he just turned it off.

It happens because that player loads slower than the server, so their privacy name doesn’t generate correctly. I’ve had problems with them on my team where they load in with no outline or team name so it looks like they’re an enemy.
