[EA] Cockpit Voip

[imported_Pharacon]

i would like it if there where chatrooms in the voip but that just adds to the confusion, because if you get in a car/plane whatever you still gotta join the channel.. i like the idea that you can talk to anyone in your vech.. but what would fix all of this is to have player centered VoIP.

What i mean is, i hit the talk button the guy standing right next to me can hear me loud and clear. The enemy behind the boxes can hear me but he is further away so the volume is lower, the guy across the map cant hear me at all. Then have your standard squad, commander. I wish this would work because it would be the most "real" VoIP

thats how halo 2 is set up on xbox live, the voice is limited by a distance, so you can sneak up on your enemies and talk to them before you kill them. it keeps the chatter down to a minimum.

Would be very nice for when you get separated from your squad and picked up by a friendly transport, or load up a transport with foks from different squads, it'd be easier to sort out who needs to be dropped off where (or even just to yell for them to hop out and help if you stumble across an enemy along the way).

In a pinch, if they made it so that when you're in a vehicle the other occupants of the vehicle become your defacto squad, and you can only talk to them, that would be fine. Then when you exit the vehicle, it restores comms with your actual squad. This means you only need to have one bind to talk to your passengers. I have a button on my joystick and mouse mapped for voice chat, and for me, it's preferable not to have too many different buttons for too many types of voice chat.

If your squad changed when you got in a APC, that would be bad.

I propose that there be a third button for "those in the current vehicle", such as the 'm' key, just like there is the 'v' key for squad leaders and the commander to chat.

Too many times I am talking to my squad bringing in a tank or APC, and I don't want that comm link cut just because someone from another squad jumped into the tank with me.
