Has anyone had some of the long term contracts just vanish? I had the disinfectant for Lab Rat just vanish along with another one (cant remember which) but the list of 5 has now become 3 and I haven't completed them.

Only thing I can think of is that I levelled up to 34 in the interim. Are these things level capped as well?

Was running around like a headless chicken today (as always) when I noticed everyone was rocking an orange backpack all of a sudden.

Has Mountain Warehouse had a sale on? Where did they all spring from all of a sudden? And it's not just high levels neither.

I like the dynamic of having to lower your weapon when you move around trees or too close walls.

But I also like to hide behind cover when being shot at.

Is there a key to mount your weapon to said walls and trees (I think COD allows you to do that)?

It might also alleviate some of the arm fatigue, when you run into a big group of enemies.

I recently "updated" from iTunes to Apple music and have to say that this feels like a backwards step.

I have lost access to almost all the album artwork (despite it being visible within the MP3 data).

I cant have the app search Gracenotes like iTunes used. Instead I have to manually add cover art (again despite it showing up in the data) thus creating a secondary folder full of low res jpgs.

The shuffle button needs pressed every time I hit play or it will revert to playing my song list in order.

Apparently the shuffle feature also only plays the same songs (a bit like the "radio" stations on Amazon Music).

Switching to Mini Viewer, creates a new mini viewer window and keeps the original apple music window open.

No access to saved Audio books or Podcasts (for that you have to use iTunes).

I now need a separate app on my Windows PC to sync my iPhone.

I have now discovered that "Backing up the iPhone to this computer" via the Apple Devices app doesn't appear to give you an option for where to save the back up. It just does it.

It feels like a massive step backwards from iTunes.

Is there a way to sort parts of your locker, such as ammo, without it rearranging the whole lot, or doing it by hand?

Am I the only one who thinks a scope with built in night vision or thermal vision would be a good add on to the game?

Yeah I get that you can't use just any of the scopes at night because of compatibility with the NVG's.

But the red dot scopes (or iron sights for that matter) are just so blurry and inaccurate at any sort of distance, it makes night missions a lottery and a total grind.

Yeah you could use NVG to get the general location then turn them off and hope that the AI doesn't move. But again lottery.

Or you could get closer. But then if it's not an area you've been before then you have no idea how many enemies are waiting for you or how accurate they are.

The ability to even 3x zoom would be so advantageous.

Well after buying 3 watches I finally get why people are down on Pagani Design quality control.

Ordered the PD-YS019 in blue. My first quartz watch from them and guess what.

Utter crap.

The quartz movement keeps stopping every couple of hours. I've tried replacing the battery.

Same thing.

Opened the watch and inspected the hand fitment... not great. But I think its just the cheapo movement more than hand fitment as it doesnt happen at specific times (like 5 to 2).

Watch face just beyond the square opening is also scratched which might mean that there is flakes of paint in the moving mechanism.

Overall very disappointing.

Buy it was a £40 watch so I wasnt expecting perfection. Just a working quartz movement.

Cant be hassled with returning it to Ali Express, so will see if I can get my hands on a replacement movement from a more reputable manufacturer like Casio or Timex.

Buckle in for a long one…

So I saw a post on this Reddit this morning about how good it would be for players with a lot of loot to give back to those less fortunate newbies who are still on lower levels and haven’t really ventured in to the high risk zones for the better loot. So I took one of my Rush back packs filled it with M2 body armour; a tactical belt with a 6slot medi pack with combat tourniquets ,splints, small blood, sur kit, bandages, couple grenades; silenced colt 1911; ranger helmet with NVG; and a M4 with ACOG, silencer and a couple spare mags. Overall I would have said a semi decent load out for a beginner. Almost the second I put it in the share box it was gone. This was my good deed.

About 2 hours later I decided to buy a new M4 from Gunny to replace my back up which I’d just given away. Then on my first mission out with my new toy, I stupidly decided to venture into Midnight Sapphire. Things were going well. I arrived shortly after someone else had been there and enemy’s were in the midst of respawning. I started Madnight Sapphire mission and got the thumb drive but I didn’t have enough enemy kills so I decided to have a wander.

That was my mistake.

As I walked across the golf course I spotted a 2man patrol and thought easy picking. That was my second mistake. These guys were actually very good/lucky shots. I managed to pick off the 3 man team. Don’t know how I missed the third guy… but used up most of my med pack healing back up.

A quick check of the map showed a blue cross in the hotel so I thought I’d head that way and picked up the signal booster mission on the way. Another mistake in hind sight. Cutting through the hotel gardens for the second booster and it started to get dark. That’s okay I have an IR torch and NVGs….. bugger.

In my haste after the new gun purchase I had forgotten to add the IR torch/torch/laser thing. I had also forgotten to equip my spare NVGs after giving my old set away.

Luckily for me I picked up an enemy’s AK which had a normal torch, but I was running low on space so I only room for a second mags and a box of scavenged ammo.

Second booster down look at the map, and realise the third is on the other side of the hotel, miles away. Seeing the blue cross still in the hotel, I decide to see if they need a hand, so I head in.

Ground floor is clear. great. I climb the stairs to the first floor landing and run into 6 men. Light up the AK take e down with the first clip, retreat reload, take out the next 2, retreat and reload clips with the ammo box, head back up take out the last man. Phew. No wait. Two more coming to the sound of gun fire. Get tagged again with a severe wound, retreat to the stair well to reload and heal. Run into another enemy. Already dizzy and loosing blood, he finishes me off. Not in a good way.

At which point I realise that the rest of Midnight Sapphire will have respawned and I can’t do my usual Commando run in with a 1911 and a spare mag, especially considering these AIs seem to have been given instructions on how to hide and shoot better. Plus it was tea time.

So… my brand new M4 with a full load out is now sitting on the first floor.

And in the words of Oscar Wilde “No good deed goes unpunished”

Noticed that when I've been running through villages and market place that there occasionally is a puff of coloured smoke and then an enemy respawns. Last time it was orange but I have seen other colours too (I even think there was a rainbow coloured one once).

Does anyone know if the colours have significance (I'm sure they do) but what the colours mean?
