I do, haven't bothered with changing. Waiting for TWI to address this non-crucial issue ;)

The chatter and screams in the gale are awesome and really immersive to me. But for players who play competitively it would be best if there was a server side setting to turn chatter off.

I would hate to see it go though it is just so convincing and intense when you are hiding e.g. and you hear several germans coming...

I have never located an enemy because of a spoken line. On occasion I will hear some Russian or German and realise that at least one enemy is nearby, but that never gave me a real location.

I think it's fine.

maybe you have crappy headphones..i dont know..i do it ALL the time

Just reading about people's reactions to the dialogue makes me crack up :D

It's really just unbelievable to me that it made it into the game... VE M

I thought it was suppose to be "gra" "nate."

It is difficult to transcribe german into english but the problem is this:
Spoiler!


No german speaker would pronounce it like that. There are some other inconsitencies like this, which, as I said, make me doubt that he is a native speaker and not just faking B-movie talk.

No, the high-pitched german yells that aswell. I have heard it numerous times.

Maybe they got a phonetic transcript of their texts when recording and the writer screwed up and mixed them up. The speakers just did not care to fix it?

But yes, I am getting off topic here. Just saying what I as a native speaker think about the autenticity (not of the texts, but the speakers) and to counter that "They are native, deal with it" argument. I think they are not, which adds to the cheese for me.

I've run across some Bundeswehr guys online before and none of them used that "clay" homophone, nor does the first online reference I ran across. Sounds like it's a regional dialect difference.

Press that play button. I could use APi system, but let me ensure you: I speak german as my mother tongue. I would know how it is properly pronounced.
Spoiler!

I do not want to hijack this and pick on one little detail.
As I said before: I as a native speaker find it highly unlikely that they used native speakers. Or they tried to put too much b-movie schmaltz on top of it. Maybe other native speakers have a different opinion. For a game that tries to bring athmosphere and historical authenticity, I think this combination of cheesy texts and bad voices is unbearable.
Yes, I will set all to native once it becomes an option.

The german word is granate. It is pronounced something like: Gruh - Nuh - Tay. It rhymes on clay.
It doesnt really rhyme on clay because you dont have that sound in english.
Or it rhymes but not exactly.

The "e" in this word is a short sound like the first "a" in the word "america" at least that comes very close

There are some other inconsitencies like this, which, as I said, make me doubt that he is a native speaker and not just faking B-movie talk.
The guy in the singleplayer sounds like a native speaker.
Some in the lines in the multiplayer arent spoken by native speakers.

I really don't care if it's in English or the native language, or even if the accents are less than "Schwartzeneggarian." I just want them to stop giving away my position ... well, I "will" want that, if I ever play again ...

I've set my chatter setting to critical only in the game options. So far I don't hear any monologues about the horrors of the Eastern Front, but he will still shout out about important stuff.

As far as "using" the chatter system to locate enemies, it sometimes borders on cheating. You can spray a building with an MG-34 just hopeing to hear your character say, "Hes ducking!" or "I've got him pinned" and know there is an enemy there even though there are 3-4 walls and 100 meters between you. I then proceed to spray the entire building till I get a kill.
