    Battlefield 3 PC to Have Commo Rose

    Anarchy1 posted this tweet:


    So it looks like the communication rose will be in Battlefield 3 for PC. No mention on the console titles having a similiar feature.

      Don't know if it's really needed that much, I mean it's almost 2012 and VOIP should be used for proper communication... that is if DICE can manage to get it working this time. They never did fix it in Bad Company 2. People really wanted it in the Alpha, hope they listened to some of the other suggestions as well.

          VOIP is only for squad chatting. we need a way to communicate with others outside the squad too.

            VOIP will likely never be used completely as most people either don't have mics or don't use them. And no popular game is going to force people to use VOIP.

              I disagree. Most people (if not everybody) in Battlefield games don't really use in-game VoIP, they prefer third party softwares. i.e. Ventrillo, TeamSpeak.

                In the competitive scene, yeah. But in pubs, I would say 95% of the players do not use those programs.

                    what about me!!!!!


                    but yeah, the way dice handled voip in bc2 (leaving it in a broken state) even further proves the point that not many people are crazy about using voip.

                        Demize explains how 3d spotting works a bit:

                        So, a soldier in direct Line of Sight that is spotted will have a 3d red marker. If he moves behind cover or concealment, including vegetation, the 3d red marker will disappear. He will always be on the minimap. Vehicles are always fully 3D spotted, and LOS does not apply since they are larger more important targets with less threats (and it plain did not work to have jets flying around who couldn't see the tank you spotted for him to take out).

                        This lets you essentially "nudge" your buddy to tell him about a target, or point out a sniper on a hill you see but cannot engage (with your shotgun for example). But it prevents players from using 3D spotting as a wall hack.

                        Additionally, the primary motivator for the change is that 3D spots that you cannot see are not threats. We noticed that players would focus on 3D spots over everything else, meaning they would ignore people in line of sight. It's far less confusing when the 3D spot on a soldier can only be seen if you can see the soldier.
