Re: BF3: New VOIP feature?

Well, barely anyone uses a microphone while playing BF2, so what makes you think more people would use one in BF3? What we need is squad leader to squad leader voice communication... But again, that's made useless unless everyone is actually using a microphone...

What servers are you playing on?? And have you ever played the Project Reality Mod? Everybody uses the VOIP/microphone.

What servers are you playing on?? Have you ever played Vanilla BF2 (the game that you paid for)? Nobody uses VOIP/microphone.

Well maybe thats a reason to implement this feature then, so it would be more fun, so people like you will also use VOIP.

I do use VOIP, I do play PR. I think its a fantastic idea but the point is many people will just not use it.

Project Reality is all I play...

Re: BF3: New VOIP feature?

Ok, so you are with me then. I understand the con "not everybody is using VOIP".
I just think that when you use a cool one-liner after your kill, the opponent will feel very frustrated if he is a mute (not using a mic). So besides being fun, it will stimulate people to use the VOIP and this will bring you more valuable battlefield information.

Sounds good- yes, I would like it

Re: BF3: New VOIP feature?

A global VOIP feature would lead to some interesting scenarios...

Example:

(Running after another soldier)
"Behind you! ROFL"
Sloi (knife) Poortard
"Hahaha pwnz leetness"
(Dips)
"You like my balls? Yeah, tasty aren't they?"
(Dips repeatedly)

I don't see any potential for abuse. Nope, none whatsoever. :laugh:

Does that make it more interesting for you, or does it make you reject it?

tha would suck if you were the one being teabagged, but awsome if you are the teabagger

i think this feature would be awsome, when you die instead of the sodier saying medic it would be " GET ME A F***ING MEDIC NOW " or "GET THE F**K HERE NOW MEDIC or when i respawn im gona TK you "

this feature would get the BF series out of the FAIL zone

there is my 2 cents

Some may say that kind of language will get you muted.

But hey, war is hell right. And who will blame you if your wounded bad.

But it could become the reason not to implement it. It wil not be taken in account with the ratings as far as I know. But it emphasizes the frase "Game experience may change during online play".

Re: BF3: New VOIP feature?

I would like to see it tried in a game. As long as a permanent mute option is available. Where you can mute someone permanently so anytime you see them on any server you can't here them.

Re: BF3: New VOIP feature?

I like the idea better than the current system because I don't have to listen to someones conversation that isn't in my immediate area meaning their visuals and voice backs are irrelevant.

Re: BF3: New VOIP feature?

I like the idea to be able to talk with other team mates that are not in your squad if they are close enough to you. It might also be interesting to not hear what other squad mates are saying if they are too far from you (SL might be an exception). The commander should only be able to talk to SL and he should have the option to select specific squads (I think they have this in PR).

I am against the idea that you can hear the enemy. From a "realism" point of view, you will probably not be fluent in the other language. But more importantly, this will increase the chatter too much (how do you know if the person who is talking is on your team or the other?) and I don't think the game needs another way for people to be idiots (talking smack). There is already plenty of opportunities.
