Major, Gamebreaking problem

[Metaldaze]

There is only one thing that is holding Red Orchestra 2 back from being one of my favorite games ever, it's not fps or the rifles being "to accurate"(I'm fine with both we're supposed to be trained/battle hardened soldiers right?!). Although the AI in your tank may be a little too accurate with that mg, and the prone movement is a little jerky in some circumstances.

The biggest problem in RO2...... is that the chat text is not color coordinated based on team!

I get confused about whose talking because most people don't use the teamchat function, please bring back the red for Russian and green for Germans in the chat box on their names when people are talking!

This will fix all of RO2's problems.

:IS2:

I can see how this can be a issue on servers with mature players.

But most of the chat I have seen have been "COD is the best WW2 shooter bro"
But you can only lead a horse to water...

Its also annoying that there's a delay in between messages, and that you have to press enter to get out of the chat box if you decide not to say anything, and that sometimes your chat doesn't even appear at all.

You are right Metaldaze, the teams are color coded (Red for Soviets, and Green for Nazis) everywhere else in the game, but for some reason, not in the chat stream... It can get confusing...

It would be nice if it showed up who was talking over voice chat. Just a small name above the compass. Some guy was incessantly playing annoying music over chat and I had no idea who to vote kick or even ask specifically to stop. Even muting would've sufficed but that wasn't functioning properly.

"This will fix all of RO2's problems."

Not at all but, I agree with this completely. The text box could be much more coordinated, organized, and polished.

@Terror
Sucks to see that already. Being an exclusively on steam game, I can imagine 10x the mic trolls when this game is released.

 

[PanterA]

I 100% agree with you. It really is confusing and annoying. They have lots of bugs to fix at first, I hope they'll react as fast as always

Somehow I think there is, because every so often, in a rare occasion, a name pops up with the side's emblem next to it. So I am assuming there must be some sort of glitch preventing it from showing up correctly? Of course, I may be wrong, but I'll try to get a screenshot of the icon next time I see it, or if I see it...

nonetheless this should require TWI's immidiate attention, right after they fix crash bugs and the massive rise in cpu usage in october and barracks

 

[LHeureux]

It's an issue I spotted the first hour of play. Also, there need to be more room in the chat.

It's the Wehrmacht, not the Nazi's. There is a HUGE difference.

But yes I really liked the color coding. Usually I will have to go to the player list to find their name.

You missed my joke a little

I really do think RO2 is in a great spot right now though, besides technical issues and some minor stuff it's really just polish it needs. Spit shine that summa *****!

Well, except for the tanks I guess. The penetration modeling doesnt seem to be working correctly. But that might just be another bug?

 

[CrazyFingers]

I would really like a chat box similar to a mmo where you press the key and you can scroll the message and maybe even seperate the message in differemt channels

 

[the5eyes]

Having a chatbox that you could scroll would be a nice addition.

 

[Funkyb]

Agree -- chat and VoIP need a lot of work.

Color codes and names, and a re-sizable chat window a must.

 

[Actin]

- Colour codes names
- Different font for team chat; e.g. italic for team chat
- Differentiate system text from actual chatting (by colour or preferably a separate chat window)
- People joining leaving is now mentioned twice on screen. In the chat and in the bottom middle of the screen.
- Make escape cancel chat input
- Mention 'forgives' in chat, as is the case with RO1
- It needs more lines, only 3/4 lines currently
- Make it scrollable (optional)

This is my list of what I want to change about the chat.
