I'm really enjoying the new maps. Anchor 9 keeps reminding me of a hybrid between Elongation and Rat's Nest, strange chemistry but fun to play. Tempest, while not the most interesting of maps, reminds me of a combo between Relic and Containment which is most likely why I enjoy it greatly for objective game types. Slayer isn't too bad either on the map but honestly CTF is where it shines. Lastly, Breakpoint is still iffy to me. It is a combination of being glad that I no longer have to choose Spire by default in Invasion but it also just doesn't really impress me as a level. It has cool, intricate pieces with a nice outdoors section but the map seems to be a little unfocused. Either way, overall I enjoy the new maps and they are definitely making me play a bit more than before.

I agree with everything you said, but I don't care at all for Breakpoint. It's a nice map just for snipers, but every other type I've played it on (still haven't got it for invasion -- grr...) was boring. I can't imagine enjoying it more than Boneyard (my favorite) or Spire (second) on invasion.

Pretty cool stats there. I didn't even realize there was a medal for getting ten kills quickly. I've never seen somebody get one, and I certainly haven't received one myself. Come to think of it, I've never witnessed anything beyond Killtrocity. That said, I have definitely contributed a decent number to the DMR total ;).

I have got 10+ kills quite a few times. You do it in firefight on corvette at hardest level and set yourself to invincibility mode. Take out the rocket launcher and fire away at the swarms of ai. This is an achievement.

Perhaps in your head :p

Ahh, I see. I've never played Firefight. I didn't know that the multi-kill medals were also accessible in there. That said, it would be pretty damn impressive if somebody managed to pull off the Killionaire medal in a competitive game ;).

I saw someone with the rank of "Hero" yesterday, and my goodness was he horrible. We played Invasion, and he did nothing until the Banshee spawned and then spawn camped the entire game. I also saw someone who had a 2.99 K/D ratio, and he camped the sniper on every map we played and sucked in actual combat. It wasn't like he would wait every once and a while for it to spawn -- he'd sit on top of the spawn site all game, every game, and then he too would just snipe the spawn spots. It's one thing to camp a spot that's vital to the game's mode, it's another thing entirely to just spawn camp.

Luckily, these guys seem to be the exception in Invasion, not the rule.

I'm sorry if anybody has mentioned this before but I've only just gotmy hands on the game.

First, it's a great game, just getting through the single player at the mo, I'm on the last mission and my god is it fustrating. I thought that Emile was there to assist you. Everytime I've attempted the final mission he has just stood there doing nothing, it's near on impossible for me to take on three Hunters all by myself :( I've tried to restart the mission so many times and I can't even get to that part anymore. He just disappears off the map and it's really, really fustrating :( I've actually given up playing at the moment, it's that bad.

Sorry to rant, but I needed to vent :p Also has anybody else had this problem, just off to google now

I honestly don't remember that mission, but I recommend Youtube-ing it to find a video. Are you talking about the part where there's a Wraith and some Hunters? If so, you can get by them pretty easy by staying far back and sniping (with your DMR -- there should be plenty of ammo for it around). That's how I got past that part on Legendary.

I usually see those kind of people AFK during a match of Firefight :no:

I've been hammering the multiplayer as of late. Anybody still playing?

Not lately, but I'll be back to it at some point, haha

I doubt this guy does that. He just spawn camps the entire freaking game like no other. It's annoying as hell.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5

      By Copernic · Posted

      Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Limited Prime Day deal sees Amazon Echo Show 11 is at its lowest price yet

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.

      So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
