    Very weird bug I just encountered: all sound effects were slowed down. Shots and explosions sounded just like in slow-mo movie scenes, breathing noises and announcers' voices sounded like Barry White. Very very weird and kind of disturbing. :eek::eek: Game was fine otherwise. Restarting the app fixed the problem.

    I hop they fix the bug that disconnects you when you jump from the rooftop to the bottom of the structure. Happened a couple of times today.

    GL should consider making me a beta tester as I seem to encounter every possible bug in the game. :D

    Yay, got a few more complaints about bugs that will never be fixed!

    Ok first of all, how on earth does getting a score of 1000 in VIP give me more MP rating that getting 2000 in any other mode (I lose 20 - 40 points if I get 3000 in TDM, and I gain 5-10 if I get 1500 in VIP)

    Second of all how do I commit suicide on 100% health when I throw a grenade 15 meters away from me, and how the f*ck do my grenades do no damage at all when I throw any type (even impacts which are supposed to be 1 hit kills) then out of nowhere I get killed by a grenade that someone threw that landed 10 meters away from me.

    Got another one, customisation in this game sucks, I hate to say it but it was so much better in MC4, which is sadly my least favourite game of the series, this will soon be my least favourite. Did GL Montreal work on this or was it some other shittier team? The previous two were so much better. Also would like to see some Tier 6 weapons that are from previous games.

    You're not the only one, I've experienced all of these bugs myself. I've also spawned before the end of the start timer at the beginning of a match, thrown a grenade, respawned on the opposite side of the spawn area to where I threw the grenade once the game had started, ran for a couple of seconds (in the opposite direction to where I threw the grenade) and committed suicide. :rolleyes:

    Gameloft Bucharest but apparently they developed NOVA 3 which was great. They might have had some budgeting restrictions or something. Maybe the HQs are the same but the people working there aren't? It's weird they would mess this up so bad if they're the same people.

    Or at least add some meaningful attachments.

    And just to add to the bug list: on Canals, if you walk towards the left edge of the bridge on the right side of the river side spawn (facing the opposite spawn are) with the right angle, you can actually walk on it and jump in the river which disconnects you from the match. :D

    I also encountered about 20 people using the hack that changes text size and colour, the guy, Hans I think also joined the clan that I'm currently in, can't wait for the update so I can report these fools.

    Can't add the screenshot I took, TA app crashes every time I try to add an attatchment.

    Also I just want to say that I'm running on the iPad mini 2 which is the one of the top Apple devices for hardware right now and I lag a lot on Canals when I aim down sights on the platforms that are on each side of the map.

    I hear you guys, these bugs are a pain. I've been very vocal about it on this forum already so I won't repeat myself. Let's just hope the upcoming update will fix these, and if they don't that we won't have to wait another 5 months for it.

    Likewise, I agree there are bugs that need fixing and I hope that was their top priority for this release (let's be honest teasing a new release by say 'bug fixes' isn't that appealing, so I expect they will be fixed)

    But name calling is not the way to go about complaining. It doesn't make you point any more valid (probably less so) and it makes it less likely we will actually get any responses in here from any GL rep (would you come in here just to be insulted?)

    Was MC4 (or NOVA 3 which may be a better comparison) available on as many platforms as MC5? That may be part of why updates are taking so long. I'm pretty sure they weren't available on Windows which MC5 I believe. Not sure about Android though.

    Yeah, this needs to be added like yesterday. I'm surprised the Android version already supports controllers yet the iOS version doesn't. Same goes for N.O.V.A. 3. They are my two favorite games and considering they are console caliber, you would think controller support would be a no brainer. Please ask the devs and push them to add the support, a TON of people are waiting for it. And ask about N.O.V.A. 3 too if you don't mind. Thanks!

    There were a few people changing their text size and colour in global chat, the hackers name is [FR]Hans or something.

    Just so yall know, Im an android user, and at least here, its not a hack. Its just HTML to change the font size and color. Can't really ban people for that.

    Technically, it's manipulation of the game interface so, technically, it is a hack.
    And a breach of the EULA.
    And most significantly it causes others game to crash when it's used. And those using it know that.
    So, yeah, those using it will be banned. Permanently.

    Is those hack affecting multiplayer game play?
    If not I am ok with that. After all they bought the game
    They can do whatever they want, but do not mess with my multiplayer matches

    It causes the game to crash on iOS? never happened here on android, only a tiny bit of lag. I guess its worse then on iOS.
    idk really how to do it but im pretty sure you type something like >font> color=[#000000] into the in-game chat box. its some code theres no manipulation, its just typing something in to a prebuilt program. Its not like editing numbers or anything where you actually change the game.

    I know the kind of thing you mean and it is a combination of a glitch and a relatively innocent type of thing but it unfortunately does violate the EULA which gives the option to ban people.
    It wouldn't be a problem or even be considered such but it does cause the game to crash for other people when entered on iOS and not for the person entering it so it does effect other people connections and their game experience.
    There's also more than enough evidence being submitted/posted/tweeted/in the game chat itself, by people who have been bounced out of the game on purpose by people using it where it's demonstrated that those doing it are very aware what it does and are purposely using it in order to disrupt other people's experience. That would be the key point.
    If someone has done it innocently, well, I suppose they might end up being okay but there is a definite trail of evidence of a group doing it on purpose and that group of usernames is being put together and they will be banned.
    So my advice would be not to use it if you come across the method because there will be bans handed out to those discovered to using it and an appeal may not work.

    Throwing Knives and ability of free customization of military support

    I think you guys need to add the throwing knives back into place and make a controlled military support. Maybe something like the Mantys Engine from Killzone Mercenary?

    I've been playing around trying to find a fun assault loadout that's not way too overpowered and doesn't use the RED34, this is it.

    Weapon: Compakt-665
    With the attachments: Recoil booster, NO grip, extended magazine (the largest one whatever it's called) and the Red Dot (small sight so you can see lots on the screen).

    For secondary I'm using the first pistol with the last sight and the and last suppressor (I haven't tried this yet though).
    I'm using the Flash grenade too.

    It's a quick and inaccurate but deadly loadout, it does require a little skill and it's mostly for close quarters as its inaccurate, this loadout reminds me of using the Charbtek-28 I think it's called from MC4 (Not the DMR from MC5) It also seems to bring back some fun, to the game.

    Has anyone heard any new news on the update? Nothing's been released in nearly a month.
