Whistle

hahahaa, that made me laugh way too much!

What's stopping people from using a whistle on voip?

That and the riposte made my day.

Sounds play a huge part in this game for me. I can pinpoint an enemies position based on the sound his gun makes. So, a whistle, to me, would be like - 'Hay guys here we come! We're coming into the capzone right now!! Get ready!'

This would only work to alert the defense of your intentions. Use VOIP or TS to coordinate your attacks.

I don't know what the big deal is with people insisting on following the "Squad Leader". More often than not the Squad Leader is either a clueless twat or is simply skilled in the fine art of calling in arty. It's just a class name, it doesn't automatically mean that the person playing it is in any way qualified to call the shots.

I much prefer either following someone I know is doing a smart thing, or calling the shots myself as I often do. Imo, "guys, when I start pissing you all off with this whistle, I want you to run into that meatgrinder" doesn't qualify as someone doing a smart thing.

I'll support the idea, if other players can run up to the SL and press a "Jam whistle down throat" button if need be.. also it must be animated, definately!

I say yes.

I would be fun and add realism and you could limit the whistle blows to 3 times in a minute.
So abuse is impossible!

 

[D3terioNation]

Aww only 3 times a minute?? NO FAIR!

That depends on your definition of abuse. Three times is three too many.

Whistle?

Wait until :20 of this video...

cool mod!

Also, I would rather see an animation like holding your weapon in the air for when you won a fight or surrender animation.

As much fun as it might be to introduce The Dreaded Attack Whistle feature, I concur with those who say it can and WILL be abused, horribly. To me, a whistle would have the exact same effect as spamming with a tank's coaxial MG to find the range- it only pinpoints your own position to the enemy. With 3D sound, all one would need to do is 'face the music', lock and load, and wait for the targets to appear.

On the other hand, the halftrack SdKfz 251/2007 '+3 Armored Pipe Organ of Doom' would be a nice feature as well for the Germans- we all know how fired up they get when Wagner is played on the approach to the battlefield!

Down throat? I was thinking more along the lines of "up arse" but yours is probably less offensive.

Just make sure after you done it that your squad leader doesn't eat chili before a battle, LOL.

 

[Floyd]

Make it a server option.......

 

[I. Kant]

... to allow the commander to eat chilli or not?
