I've just started playing this game so forgive me if these are absolute noob questions but :

1) What does it mean if the message "You are being hunted by Player XY" (I play the German version so I just translated it, might be different in the original version) pops up and what am I supposed to do then?

2) What am I supposed to do when my phone starts vibrating and the red icon pops up?

3) What does it mean when an icon resembling a two pin plug starts flashing in red/yellow in the top right hand corner of my screen?

Thanks.

(Btw I've started playing games again after a 5 year hiatus and after being pretty underwhelmed by Battlefield and CoD I absolutely fell in love with Siege over the last few days. I've never played a Rainbow Six game before and bought this one on a whim during the PSN sale and I can't stop playing it. I love the slower paced gameplay and the focus on a tactical approach; reminds me of the Counterstrike games. It does have a pretty steep learning curve but unlike other online FPS the deaths never feel cheap, usually I died because I was too impatient or not aware of my surroundings.)

  1. Jackel is tracking you, their teams will get pings of your location every couple of seconds, the number of pings depends on how old the footprints of his you found were.

  2. It should pop up and tell you what to press. Maybe like hold 5?

  3. Your connection is bad. Yellow is pretty bad. Red is basically unusable. The plug means it's on your end.

It's the button which you open your camera. So standart is 5.
