Hopefully be on tonight to try these AKG K612 headphones out.

Speaking of which, what are the best settings to use in BF4 etc. I believe you posted something before about certain audio settings raider?

My settings in the asus control panel are:

Turn SVN off, that is a volume normaliser ie crushes the dynamic range. Apart from that all good, BF4 should be Hi-Fi > Surround off although if you are playing 5v5 war tapes is great for picking out footsteps but horrific for everything else eg 64 man server + war tapes = ear raep.

TOGA will unban you if you ask nicely, you didn't go full Nexus in chat. Just said something about Santa when they asked if we knew who's server it was.

Awesome! I really hate the 'Skill' stat... we all know that it doesn't really matter but it still irks me every time it shows negative after a round for no apparent reason

Here is what it looks like:

Oh, I do like the look of that now! :cool:

Virgin have fixed the fault in my area already :eek:

So all being well, hopefully be on tonight.

Yup war tapes is horrific on this and bf 3, loved it in bc 2 though.

I thought that was the reason too but then read the bit above and it was more for me going into their TS server and giving them the soundboard run down, I don't think they liked Arnie's one liners lol

Josh · 29 Sep 2015 at 12:59

Ahhhh forgot you did that. We did it so often it became a normality lol

I will try get on tonight, just hope I have more than 10mbps.

So I can see two things from the new skill graph.

1) OcUK players play their class role religiously.
2) Kiwi has the ability to kill lots of people but at the same time couldn't hit a barn door with a tractor.

I'll be on tonight too BTW

Josh · 29 Sep 2015 at 13:22

Oh god the accuracy part is scary. Think mine is about 8%. Could get rather embarrassing.

needs a hs damage percentage ratio adding too, need to find out who is cheating

Is "Kills" KPM?

In retail mine's a lot worse than that as I used to just camp fire metro doors for hours on end.

CrispyOtter · 29 Sep 2015 at 14:53

I'm quite pleased with my accuracy at 12% in total including vehicles and stuff. On average with Assault Rifles its usually consistently 17%

Nexus18 · 29 Sep 2015 at 16:04

Accuracy stat - pfffffffffffffffffffffffft!

If pre-fire wasn't a useful tactic and suppression etc. wasn't in this game then maybe.... but as it stands it is a pretty useless stat imo, if you really want to have good accuracy stat then only fire when you know that you won't miss or go spam airburst, grenades etc. on metro/lockers

hehe got to love the good old times, I could only ever get 1-2 Arnie one liners in before getting the "you have been banned"

HazardO · 29 Sep 2015 at 16:07

Nexus, why don't you just plug your phone/tablet/laptop into your PC's mic input and play samples into TS or Discord if you are missing soundboard?

Nexus18 · 29 Sep 2015 at 16:11

Too much faff required

If he does I will ban you for suggesting it

Will be on tonight with my mightly slow 17mbps connection!

Yeah VM - you so good.

1kiwi · 29 Sep 2015 at 17:37

I was a little embarrassed on the revives. I'm not a team player it seems

They are testing new retail high tickrate servers servers: https://www.reddit.com/r/battlefield_4/comments/3muwlt/pc_rental_server_high_tickrate_beta/

You guys should check them out.

Josh · 30 Sep 2015 at 08:24

Ok so I've found out that I can almost be competitive with 10mbps BB.

GG's last night, have to say though much preferred playing GTAV at the end.

I might be on that tonight for some missions etc.

CrispyOtter · 30 Sep 2015 at 09:34

I'll be about... don't mind what we do

I seem to be getting the weird icons on the right hand side of the screen so much more after the latest patch! Any one else?

Edit: Hmmm... seems my sig has broken... anyone fancy doing me another with my new name? Will pay back with e-cookies

HazardO · 30 Sep 2015 at 09:44

Wasn't having my best night last night, and I have to admit those SOFLAM Javelin pros were getting on my **** on silk road! We just didn't have a team working together to stop them. And that map is just not a good map IMO.

Tried a quick blast on a 144Hz TDM later, it didn't feel especially good, but it was late by then.
