Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands |OT| Squad Goals

Well shit.
You know, the PC version of this game includes a metric fuckton of options, and I really think Ubisoft deserves praise for that. You can really cater alot of elements of this game to exactly how you want it to play.
But even so, I'd love for there to be a FEW more audio options. Most notably, I'd love to be able to disable the thud sound of a bullet hitting a body that plays everytime I hit an enemy. It completely overrides the gunfire sound in a really jarring way, and I'd much rather just hear the fire of my guns than the hit marker noise.
And goddamn include a minimal squad voice option so I can not near all the "and baby makes three," "fuckstick," "I'm gonna make you shit out your guts" complete fucking nonsense, but still retain the enemy callouts and other combat fluff. My guy yelled "shitballs" while being fired at. In a fucking Tom Clancy game. Shitballs.

Pretty sure you need to find a weapons case to unlock them.. you can use them if you pick them up.. but that's it.
Kind of sad, I was hoping to collect them all over dead bodies.
Side note.. what's the GAF task force?
I've gone ahead and played past the 2 hour mark on steam. Its an enjoyable game to use as a gap filler. The only thing that is really getting my goat as an offline player is the incredibly not so useful squad commands.
Im not asking for rainbow 6 dreamcast controls
Just... a touch more than we have now!

My radio hunt is now a crusade. Join me, brothers and sisters!
Thanks.
The enhancements you'll get are the resolution will be 2560X1440P downsampled to 1080p and smoother framerates.
I don't think GTA 5 has a Pro patch so there won't be any improvements there.

Noooooooooo! That blows.
Edit: Oh wow that radio contract thing is ridic. What a stupid decision. I have a feeling the squad banter thing is similar. They probably paid a bunch of money for voice acting and think it is crucial to the feel of the game and refuse to give players the option because they know best. The most egregious offense is that shit still plays in co op!!! Don't talk over our own mic dialog fuckwads.
Woah - hold up a second. Like the old Ghost Recon games you say? I might have to try this now.
The radio is playing outside of cars. Every settlement has a ton of radios blaring that you can hear from like half a mile away.
Oh, yep you're right. I noticed last night that when I turned off my car radio in a town, I could still hear the music. It struck me as odd that Bolivia has only one radio station.
But I still spend a lot of time in the world without radios, so this is all a bit odd.
Yet, I'm trying to imagine any contract where musicians get the upper hand like this. Maybe Ubi paid less for the rights?

The cartel is addicted to radios. They are everywhere. SMASH THEM ALL.
This game had no real hype behind it at all though compared to The Division. I'd say 37k is very impressive for a game so many people seemed to have written off, though that was only on GAF and a few other boards. Most people I know IRL were very excited for this game.

I assume there's no simple radio.mp3 and edgy_squad_banter.mp3 that you can just delete on the PC version?
The 'banter' was extra cringe during the beta when I played it while my wife was in the room. She gave me her best "What are you playing, are you 14?" *rolleyes* look.

This dialogue
"Say goodnight fuckstick"
"Hey fuckstick!"
"3 tangos marked, and that makes a baby"

Someone needs to teach these Bolivians to stop walking around in the middle of the road.
I can't count the number of times I've swerved off the edge of a cliff to avoid hitting a roving pack of civvies.

I'm really starting to enjoy the driving now that I've gotten better at it. Drifiting around corners chasing guys down feels really good and things seem to have a nice weight to them. But this is on a controller. M/KB controls are trash.
Nope, just sort of throws you in there. You might get matched up with someone on the easiest difficulty who can run around like the terminator while you are on expert and get one shot.
I'd highly suggest joining the GAF Task Force and making some friends to play with.

Difficulty levels are independent per player? I can't decide if that is ridiculous or a great design decision.
Maybe great, could play with your kids. If you're cool with cock holsters, bloody condoms, and chorizo rolled in dog hair dialog I suppose.
lol it's "and baby makes three" which is still an odd old expression to use. But it's still infinitely less grating than most of the awful dialogue and chatter. Stunning when something so obviously poor makes it past so many people and no one says "hey this is garbage right?"
I wish there was. The squad banter is killing me, the 'tango fucking down' shouts are mega cringe, and I can't watch the cutscenes without hitting ESC like my life depended on it. Worst writing I've seen in a Ubi game so far.
Haha might need to slide that voice audio aaaalll the way down.
I wish there was at least the matchmaking option to only play with others on Expert.

So the more recent batch of reviews hasn't painted a much more negative picture of this game.
If we aggregate the first 8 reviews (day one) the average was 84.
If we aggregate the second wave of reviews that followed, the average has been in the mid-low 70's. User scores have also taken a huge hit.
This is much more compatible with my experience from the beta. Definitely seems like one to hold off on.

I searched on Ghost Recon Network and could not find the GAF Task Force.
Would like to join up if possible for XBONE fun in the Wildlands....
Thanks!

In terms of playing single player and having a squad to issue orders to, yeah. That is essentially what this is. Only more streamlined, but in a massive open world and with a lot more options and customization.

There is a GAF Xbox Club "WildlandsGAF", I'm not sure what the Ghost Recon Task Force is though.. I couldn't find it either.
I recommend playing cocaine-related music along with this. Immortal Technique's Peruvian Coke is a good place to start.

Thanks. Do I need to do anything to enable that?
I know the boost mode update comes out tomorrow for games without native Pro support.
Would be nice if they actually fixed the GRN website...
Its on the beta level of down again...

Whats the GAF taskforce?
Yeah, I heard this in the beta. Made me laugh because I tend to blurt that out when I get startled on a rare occasion and I've never heard anyone else say it.
It sooooo doesn't fit. I think they were going for a "Predator" vibe with the squad banter. It works sometimes, not others. Admirable idea but usually I find the tone to be too tongue in cheek for the subject matter, what with the dismembered corpses and hung bodies and all.

For me it says only 1 member and I sent a request during the beta (I think)

Weird, that shows up as "[SEMI] Semi Squad" but the URL says NeoGAF.

Same issue except I get a French task force
There's nothing you'll need to enable. It'll be automatic (this applies for all games, btw).
Well its more than 1 for sure.
Yeah people have been saying that... Weird eh.
What platform are you? Also username on the site, might be able to send one manually.
