Re: Environment voice: A third voip channel badly needed

like the idea.

there should be an option to "whisper" to a player aswell. this might be limited to your own team, but would still be good.

Sure...and EA will actually consider all this.

Re: Environment voice: A third voip channel badly needed

yeah i don't like this idea. just adding an extra button i have to worry about. so when i am a squad leader in a vehicle and two people in the vehicle, the commander, and two people not in the vehicle in my squad are all trying to talk to me at the same time, yeah that won't get annoying or complicating or confusing or anything like that now will it.

I can see it now. The ability to sneak up behind a sniper, yell BOO! as you knife him, and then play sound clips of something creepy like a max hardcore porn scene while you teabag the body.

No, its too terrible to contemplate.

Don't yell but whisper to his ears, and it will scare the hell out of him before he get knived.

Re: Environment voice: A third voip channel badly needed

Thatw ould be pretty trippy.
But probably wont appen because it would take alot of work.

No it wouldn't. VOIP is already in there.
The rest is just simply seeing who is nearby within a predefined radius (and I suspect the game does this kind of thing ALOT anyway), and channeling to just them, applying some diminished volume the further out they are.

Heck, you could implement two modes of this, one which is a whisper which is simply quieter and has less of a radius.


Like I said, no work at all given what's already present in the system.

I once went on a french server and they were yelling at me to go do something and I was unable to comply. I said something in english and they started to yell at me some more and started a kick vote. Ah well. I've been to france tho... there were nicer than these guys.

That would be great !! Add a lot of humor to the game. For those of yo who play for fun/humor that is :)

Re: Environment voice: A third voip channel badly needed

Wow...
the french in france were nicer than these guys???

Based off my experience in France.... these guys were REAL bad then :)
I was less than impressed when in the country.... With the exception of they were very polite and nice to my wife who was carrying my infant daughter at the time. Hell... I even was trying to speak french (Butchering it badly I can only imagine... but tried not to do the I am only speaking english thing.)

That would be hilarious, although I can imagine noobs completely ruining the game by blowing your cover.

Re: Environment voice: A third voip channel badly needed

I wouldn't mind this feature, if the VOIP didn't cause my game to turn into a sporradic lagfest 3 out of 4 times...

Re: Environment voice: A third voip channel badly needed

This idea is fine idea as long as it is only for you're own team mates. It would be particularly helpful in vehicals full of smurfs. It could also help you recruit said smurfs into your squad if one proves worthy.

Local to enemy is just un needed for good game play.

Re: Environment voice: A third voip channel badly needed

I was thinking about this a few weeks ago. But why do you need another button. Why couldn't the new channel be always on (you could use your own mute on the headset). And i like the ideas about it being broadcast into the world from your location. I don;t see why you would need a wisper button either, just talk quieter into your mic.

In fact, the normal squad and commander chat should be broadcast into the world channel also! kinda like in real life.

This would be great for trying to coordinate with players not in your squad. IT would also be awsome to hear the enemies talking.

I assumed this would not happen til the next gen of games though. Probably not for BF2. Though an expansion pack with that feature i might pay for. *winks*

Would be so funny to hear people expressing frustration when they miss or screw up, especialy from dead bodies, heh. Also you could hear my wife yelling at me to help change diapers!

Re: Environment voice: A third voip channel badly needed

someone needs to explain the wonder of TS and Xfire,
if the server states that it has a TS, then just go to it! lazy... just dam lazy
(note: TBF2 members are no longer allowed to enter another TS channel)

Or imagine a noob that just starts singing, i have expirienced that in my public squad... not funny

there should be a new list where you can 'mute' players.

The problem with "always on" voice is that it takes too much voip bandwidth because everyone will be broadcasting his background noise to everyone within certain radius (just imagin that you will hear all the babies crying and moms yelling in the background) even when you do not intend to talk to anyone.
