It was not an issue. 

[Voodoo Magic]

I make the same noise as her when my vodka bottle is empty.

[Kailem]

She's just been away on another planet for so long she hasn't gotten used to Earth's gravity yet.

[SuperiorIronman]

Thanks to Ridgetop for pointing it out (at least I assume it was his twitter) but what in the hell is that noise on HQ?

I wanna think it's a ship. Whatever it is the sound seems like it's coming from the facility itself. Anyone know of any other maps that has anything weird going on? It occurred to me that since HQ released early they may have let something slip that we weren't supposed to know about until later. In this case it might've been to tie in with a Predator release or something alongside lone wolf.

[Kailem]

It sounds like some sort of crazy generator powering up, or a cloaked ship perhaps? Either way it's odd. Could just be something that was always meant to be there though and we weren't hearing, like the voiceovers for any of the missions on HQ, and now seemingly some on Excavation too.

Speaking of weird things and Excavation, I did a match on their yesterday where no enemies came when we extracted at the water area. Then when we took down the Pred, no enemies showed up to attack the body either.

Don't know if it's just at that one evac point, but that's something they'll need to fix at some point.

[SuperiorIronman]

I'm not expecting a response from them but I am sending a message to OldKingHamlet on the forums now. I'm curious if that was meant to be here or if it's something different. If it is something like a ship I'm not expecting them to say anything but at the very least I did bring up the exfil swarm not swarming nor being prompt. I'll update here if I get a response.

I noticed the new HQ sound too. Sounds great and ominous. From the looks of it, the HQ has hydro pumps and maybe all that water is generrating energy. But the new noise only happened in the latest update patch. Still its pretty cool if you have a subwooofer.

[Still Collating...]

Is it just me or does the game keep crashing more often since the update? (I play on Steam)

[Kailem]

It definitely feels less stable than it did.

I played a game yesterday where the reinforcements just never spawned in. Never had the countdown timer, never got the blue icon, nothing. Everyone died permanently on their first life. Also had a few instances of the knife not equipping in the weapon wheel, there's no voiceovers whatsoever on the new HQ map (for the mission briefly and during the mission) and sometimes not even in previous maps where I know I've had them before. And some of the ending cutscenes now show multiple evac choppers.

So yeah, they definitely broke a few things methinks.
