Tried Montagne for the first time; the feeling of just entering a breached objective room while your mates kill everything in front of you is exhilarating, but I do wish it gave some sort of assist or bonus if OPFOR died because it was busy shooting at your shield. As it is you only get the satisfaction of helping but no numbers going up :(

You do get points for people shooting at your extended shield though, and I think it might only triggers when you have teammate nearby.

Oh! I guess I missed that. Disregard then!

It's nice how the point system works, just got a game with 0 kills but I still managed to support my team well enough that I made it on top of the scoreboard (we didn't win).

What do you recommend for the power adapter ethernet? I don't really want to spend more than $50 or so.

Also..... no way does dialogue turn up footsteps. Are you for serious?

Buy the fastest one you can afford. They're only like 50$ for the fast ones, I think, and that's Canadian $$$. Everything else on your computer will benefit from the faster speeds.

And yeah, the footstep noise being dictated by the Dialogue volume slider is a "bug" that ubi knows about. Just crank it up to 100.

Yeah the people I play with call them donuts. You can easily go a round without getting a kill, especially if you're anchoring on defense. We generally poke fun at each other for eating donuts instead of playing

And yeah sound is super important. Make sure your Dialogue volume is at 100... for some reason it controls the volume of footsteps.

It's a risk reward balance. Your reward is hearing footsteps. The risk is someone picking Tachanka, the outside-voice operator who explodes your eardrums with "WALL FORTIFICATION COMPLETE!!!"

It depends on distance, I think. So e.g. if you are right next to Sledge when he breaks a window, you'll hear him whisper, but a teammate on the opposite end of the map will hear him shout.

For some reason IQ switches from whispering to shouting really quickly so taking a step away from her mid-sentence gives you this jarring, sudden shriek

I don't think it depends on distance when you say them :v: IQ alternates between whispers and extreme yelling in first person, now that's hillarous.

I'm like 99% sure they patched out opfor hearing your reloads, gadget deployments etc because it was random and it made ESL sometimes depend on luck for that last clutch. Imagine being on overtime on defense in a 1v1 and you're forced to reload. 50% chance your dumb rear end screams "I'M DRY!!!!!" across the whole basement.

The ups and downs are crazy in this game. One match I pull off a perfect room breach from rappel where I knew exactly were opfor was thanks to my drone and know exactly where to aim, the next I get killed when the enemy just randomly sprays a barricade :(

If you’re asking for a yell button in bf1 then you’re obviously not serving as a squad leader and spamming the go button for that sweet sweet attack whistle

I know I usually talk about how good the general community is in Siege, but there were some team killing fucks in a round of thunt I had today and I couldn't help but wonder what drives a person to be so toxic

I guess they just enjoy being assholes, because I sure as hell don't give them the satisfaction of a histrionic response. I just shake my head solemnly

Had a guy today who called me a tryhard (for what im real uncertain) shot me in the head second round when i ignored him and then tried to do the same third round. When i killed him third round after he shot and chased me across map he "reported" me.

Thats my weird toxic story of the day. Dude was super butthurt about something just decided to take it out on friendlies

I think the autokick sets in on the second TK in two consecutive rounds, as long as you didn't damage him as well. I would have walked in front of his sights on purpose the second time.

The first temporary autoban seems to be if you TK once or twice directly after an autokick.

Had some dude TK me because I picked Fuze (on a Bomb gamemode, not even Hostage) because "Fuze ruined the game" or sumshit.
Obviously I had to pick Fuze every time we were on attack and he kept TKing me.
It was pretty funny but I couldn't figure out what his deal was.

My skins keep getting reset so my guys look hella lame. It wouldn't be an issue if the menus were responsive but they aren't so it's a pain in the rear end.

Also, anybody here have to deal with wireless repeaters? I bought a cheap Netgear N300 to push the wireless out to my console but I get rubberbanding and warping every now and then so I was wondering what the best solution for gaming would be.

If you have cable internet and coaxial cables running in your house you can extend ethernet to anywhere you have a coaxial cable using MoCA adapters. This might be helpful to get an ethernet drop closer to your system so you can set up another wireless router or repeater, or maybe even run the ethernet directly to your console.

Works similarly to the powerline adapters. You will need additional coaxial cables so keep that in mind.
