Hi guys.

There is not as much teamplay as i aspected.

Youve got 3 Chats. Public, Team, Squad. ( i hope in final game they are colored and way better (longer time and so on) than they are now )



For better teamplay (even on public servers where many people dont have a mic or dont want to talk.. for whatever reason) there should be a 4th 'chat'

This would be for squadleaders and commanders only. You know there are news like "Allies are attacking bla bla". At the same place, with an other color and a lil bit smaller

sl's could write with an extra button short texts to their squads like "attack left flank"
commanders could wirte with an extra button short text to all squads like "wait 20 secs for artillery right flank. smoke on right flank."

The MAIN reason for that. Me and other people love to play sl or commander because they love to lead a team. i meam teamplay. That is what ro/ ro2 is done for. In RO / RO 2 you can/ could write text messages.. nobody reads them in combat and nobody is following orders. Not because they dont want to, they dont notice them.

With this really easy to implement feautere i think, teamplay would be a way better. (you WILL read a big text on top of your screen popping out)



(in expectation of 'stupid kids' doing crap with it, writing to many texts to annoy other people with insults over and over, there could be a limit of one text/minute or something)

Yes please. I was doing my level best to coordinate my team as a squad leader, but it was worse than herding cats. I would spawn in the middle of a bunch of my squadmates, order them to follow me, then try to flank the enemy only to look back and realize I was alone. I was desparately trying to get them to attack the Infirmary on Barracks while our commander shelled the Propaganda House/Warehouse intersection, but everyone just squatted there and camped and I ended up with an MP40 lodged up my bum.

Please please please improve the command interface.

Last night I pretty had a good squad with me who were following orders. I used the VOIP a lot and we coordinated from there.

Although I must say that the "move here" command from the squad leader is pretty useless at the moment. There should be a more obvious indicator that the SL issued a command. Also, if squad member accepted that command, SL should get the proper feedback as well. Currently pressing F4 to accept the command really doesn't do anything.

My feelings exactly at some servers as well
