I've had this since the first Beta build. It isn't caused by hardware or drivers.

I get a band of colors at the bottom of the screen when on foot, in spectate and in a vehicle. It doesn't happen when I'm in a menu.

The colors are always occur in different places each time I start the game and chance each time I start the game.

Spoiler!

Let me guess, you're running WinXP? I got the same thing until I upgraded to Win7 a few days ago, and there's another thread floating around with this same problem. It seems to only happen to WinXP folks, and I think it might have to do with nVidia graphics cards.

Specs?

WinXP: Yes
Nvidia card: Yes.

I guess that may solve it. It's not that big of an issue and doesn't distract me from the game but it does look like theres something wrong.
I have other games that run on the Unreal 3 Engine and I haven't gotten this problem.

I've got this as well, but then, I also run WinXP and have an Nvidia GeForce 9800, so, that might be it, nothing major, but hopefully it gets fixed.

Wow, interesting how XP and Nvidia are the common denominator... is it a driver problem? Maybe they'll (Nvidia) release a driver update soon

Yeah, I can confirm this is XP-only. As soon as I upgraded my OS to Win7 all problems like this disappeared, as well as a number of the crashes and lockups I was suffering from.

Actually i have this with windows 7 on an ATI card.

I havent noticed it in a couple of days so perhaps a patch cleaned it up for win7?
