Easy solution. Turn off the auto voice commands and provide 3D voice chat that anyone, on either side would hear if they were close enough. Just like RL......

Character shouting in game, please let us have the option to make our character mute?
- Thread starter Stiler
- Start date
That even the dumbest recruit knows not to start shouting if it draws fire...
You dont have to be a "secret agent" to know when to keep your mouth shut and not have a running dialogue with yourself.

In the server config ther is an option for 3D VoIP, but Yoshiro said it isn't going to be implemented at launch. This doesn't mean that a future patch wont enable support for this.
Unrelated..
I agree though that in the bedlam of real conflict soldiers would yell out important information, the difference is that videogame sound design is nowhere near as deafening as real combat. If the rest of the game's sound was as loud as it would be IRL than yelling out wouldn't be an issue. Yet I would still take issue with the sillyness of some of the battle chatter.

something to consider, is the auto taunt always go off when you down a player, or could the soldier survive and you think they are dead and combined with the delayed kill, emulate the rookie/newbie sodlier thinking he gunned them down and bam the 'dead' soldier can bag him
also all posts have been from watching beta players, not from playing them selves, until we can actually see the limitations and customisations we cant really comment reliably

In most cases we can see an entire 10+ minute uninterrupted video evidence.
I don't understand how who is playing the game is relevant.

You forget whos paying TWI, we are when we buy their game, and atm since its still beta, I'd request that it be an option to turn the "feature" off.
Whats really funny and stupid at the same time is that "your character" can shout all this stuff, but yet when you look down there is no character to be had, WTF is that?!, at least in Arma2 I can see myself and everything I do, how about stepping up the game a notch TWI and giving me a body.
What am I a camera man?!

TWI would be retards not to make this feature client side optional... They don't strike me as retards...
...You however, do strike me as one.

If there was a stealth button, going back to what I said on the previous page, you can still use the voices, you just won't give anyone away that's in stealth by not talking around someone in stealth. EVERYONE IS HAPPY.
TWI/Ramm should wake up and realize people don't want this, with all due respect.
Would they rather hear this from us on the forums, or wait till it goes worldwide and people are playing the full game and get pissed off when their position is involuntarily given away. HMMM That MIGHT just piss people off, don't you think?
P.S. "We did it for the Fuhrer! Target destroyed!"
LOOOOOL... Good lord

This is why TW is paid to do what TW does.
Are you really going to sit here and tell me that you are impressed that they were able to think of a radius that goes around the player that doesn't even check for height?
Shoot, I'd consider your post more of an insult to TWI than a compliment...

It is an urban (or video game forum) myth. There is no documented historical evidence of this happening, only stories that are quite modern.

Coming back to this thread with beta expirience... I am suprised that no one has started freaking out yet, considering the concerns voiced in this thread.
It seems to me that my character has a spider sense of sorts. When it tingles, he will pronounce "Something

Honestly, it can be both good and bad
Some of it adds to the atmosphere
But some detracts
I've killed a few players who gave away their position do to auto shouts
and I think the feature nearly ruins the whole delayed death message thing. They don't ALWAYS say something when you kill someone, but most of the time they do and when they do I don't bother worrying about whether or not I get a death message to confirm the kill.
I'll barely see a player and just spray my mg 200 meters and hear DIE SWINE DIE! And I instant know I got him.

I think if a client/serverside option could be implemented to disable this feature it would be greatly recieved.
Me and my squad mates have just had a very small 3v3 Countdown game on our own server. More than once we have been given away by the random chat...
It does add to the immersion, but when you are trying to flank someone or sneak by it can also be such a killer.
Please consider looking into this TWI if at all possible.

+1 to OP. Its tricky. I mean if an enemy throws a grenade and you see it, you would be yelling "grenade!" to warn the others. I do support an option to have a toggle button when doing Recon. I like how RO2 uses seperate languages: so the otherside can't understand what oir side is saying.

Actually, I've managed to contribute significantly to the team by going solo while playing as a machine gunner. By stalking around routes of enemy reinforcement, I can gun down their respawning soldiers as they're running to the front and significantly ease the burden on my teammates down the way. While I do move around quite a bit, it is a bit obnoxious that my character announces to the enemy when he's most vulnerable ("I NEED TO RELOAD"). It hasn't gotten me killed yet, but I'm just waiting for the day that I get the attention of a passing fascist with that.

I'm still in favor of the battle chatter, or the majority of it being replaced by 3D VoIP. First however, they would need to fix the in-game VoIP as it uses the Steam Voice Chat, which frankly sucks.

I know this sounds kinda stupid, but why are you needing to reload if you're being stealthy?
I mean, if you're having to reload, isn't that because you've been shooting your gun, which is far louder and more noticeable than shouting "reloading?" He may be able to cover MY back since I am going to have my pants down.
And to me, my buddy nearby knowing that I CANNOT COVER HIM FOR A FEW SECONDS is more important than being Solid Snake for a few seconds more.

Well, going back to my example, I often gun down small groups of enemies rapid fire, and then jump up, without reloading, and scoot to a new position before they can investigate. Once I'm nice and settled, I hit the reload key and proudly announce where I have run off to to the world.
Like I said, nobody's caught me because of the voice bind yet, but it does make me go "SHUT UP YOU IDIOT".

But wouldn't it be very tactically unsound to go to a new position with an empty or near empty clip, when it could be full of enemies?
And also, if you have teammates nearby to "fire off" the shout clip, they're going to be making noise too in all likeliness.
