Comm Rose additions

[RocketChild]

I really wish that there were extra things you could say if you really wanted to tweak out your comm-rose.

This morning, I saw a claymore at the City Entrance of Sharqi, and quickly did a turn around to go into the CP from a different angle. Not a second after I round the corner, three team mates ran in from where I came out from and they all got killed from one claymore. I hit the page down key really fast several times, but none of them picked up on it till they were dead.

If I could have just hit the comm-rose to inform anyone within 20 feet of me that there is a claymore someplace, like I could pop red smoke where the claymore is (kinda like how you can see yellow smoke for the attack point), they might have all lived and we could have took the flag.

Same thing for telling people to be quiet. When I am in a jeep, I wish I could tell people not to pop off the guns while racing behind enemy lines. It might help if that .50 cal was not making a melody.

Re: Comm Rose additions

at this point in the life of bf2 its only a hope for mods, and why would mods do it like this when it would be better (harder but much better) to just spot the freaking claymores

A good set of eyes is all you require. Same goes for mines.

VOIP?

Although I wouldn't have warned them, I'da watched.

But that is the problem, the way VOIP is designed in this game, if you are not in the same squad, people can't hear you. It would be great if you had a third VOIP button that when you speak, anyone within 4 meters of you could hear what you say. i.e. V for Commander Chat, B for squad chat, C proximity chat.

This is an idea they need to implement in BF3.

Re: Comm Rose additions

I would get something like,

HEY STUPID MEDIC, GIVE ME A PACK, YEAH YOU
or
HEY SUPPLIES ASSWHOLE, YEAH YOU
or
THANKS FOR NOT REVIVING ME DOUCHEBAG
and my favorite
I HOPE YOUR VEHICLE BLOWS UP FOR NOT GIVING ME A RIDE(and vehicle detonates)

Re: Comm Rose additions

Would be cool though if you could mark a danger area with something that people could see...like the smoke mentioned or just a skull and crossbones sign.

I don't use VOIP because no matter what I do I can't get it to work.

I think those are the people that have the VO set to not be in English Only.

No i done it to USMC too, some people are just out there on fairy land, thinking which way to go the the flag, or how to camp a spot. And i have mine to not VO, i have a idea what they ask for now days, and also you can see the player like flashes with a red cross on the mini map. Same with supplies.

Re: Comm Rose additions

Every time I see a claymore I'll spot it and it appears on the HUD as a red question mark. It at least informs my team that there is something there. It would be nice to have a spot option to say "warning" with a skull and cross bones on it. It's a general warning that could cover C4, a live nade, claymore, etc.

Haha, I like this one a lot. Especially when the guy just steals your vehicle while you're repairing it.

A VO I could really use would be something along the lines of "Stay sharp, hostiles up ahead." It's really useful when you're in a car turret and the driver just rushes into the middle of a war zone without noticing anything. Before he knows it the enemy has already unloaded their rockets into your car. Sometimes the sob wants to put the blame on you.

Anyway, just a little while ago I was browsing through the English VO's in Common_client.zip and found "Enemy mines" as well as "We've encountered mines, over." Each voice clip was recorded for everyone (cmdr, sqd leader, grunt), but I don't think it's available to use in-game yet. Could it be unlocked like the laugh taunt?

Re: Comm Rose additions

I was wondering if there was something like that. I bet PB would kick people that had it unlocked, but I think it would need to be universally unlocked for other parties to hear it. Maybe they figured the Comm-Rose would get way to filled up with stuff. It would be nice if DiCE had made the game more customizable like Everquest. If I could configure the HUD the way I want, my game would get much more efficient.

heh, yeah.

Really though, the game could definitely use the following:

- spot claymore
- spot AT mine
- spot C4
- "hold your fire"
- "fire at will"

It's incredible the number of times I've gone wide around the edge of a typical claymore corner, only to turn around 2 seconds later to see that some moron behind me decided to just sprint right by it and blow himself up instead of taking the hint.

: edit :

"No I won't repair your UAV I'm a god damn medic" would be a nice addition for replying to the commander as well.

That idea sounds like it would come in handy in alot of situations, but only problem is, those annoying 13 yearold kids that love to hear themselves speak will be abusing the hell out of it and annoying all of us.
