Peripheral Vision and Soldiers Speaking

[Krobar]

Alright first off the peripheral vision seems to be messed up to help people see enemies. I've noticed that the peripheral vision indicators only show up showing enemies pass by and not friendlies as well. Sneaky sneaky TW but I caught you! I think it's best to make it make sense and have the peripheral vision indicators show friendlies as well.

Ok, now this isn't about native languages... the soldiers seem to be breaking the fourth wall. When you shoot a friendly (accidentally ofcorse) YOUR soldier will say "You're shooting our guys!" (I know this is your soldier because I did it playing with only a few people on Grain Elevator while away from everyone else) The soldier seems to be talking to you personally. I see where this would fit in as a friendly telling you you shot another friendly just seems bugged right now.

+1 for the peripheral indicator tweak. I could've sworn it showed friendlies as well, but after thinking about it, it may have just been enemies near my teammates. 99% of my peripheral indicator pop ups lead to badguys, and it feels kind of cheap...like I'm hacking or something.

My peripheral vision indicator shows both enemies and allies...?
I've shot my fair share of teammates because of it, too


And I have noticed the Friendly fire issue, too. Don't mind it, though...

 

[Krobar]

It showed my allies and enemies in beta, now it just shows enemies. I think when I was playing an hour or so ago they indicator was working with allies but not as hard as it was with enemies and before that (today's patch maybe?) it only indicated enemies.

wtf are you talking about, what indicator?.....

The peripheral vision indicators... little dots on the left and right of your screen representing peripheral vision. I ignored them for a while myself until I noticed it was a sure fire way to gun down that guy you can't see 60 metres away to your left.

Maybe it has something to do with relaxed realism? If the players are already on your map, I imagine there would be less reason to display the indicator. I have had friendlies run by without triggering the indicator, so there has to be some rule set for it.

havnt noticed any dots.....

I only play full realism, no mini-map. Could be server option.

While on the topic of voices;

does anyone else occasionally hear what sounds to be some guy speaking on a radio saying things like "the recon plane will be inbound shortly" or whatever?

I dont like this as first of all it makes it seem like im wearing a headset which soldiers did not have back then, Second, i also i have my game set to german/russian voiceovers (no english), but stuff like that comes out in english anyway and breaks immersion

What in the world...?
I've never seen any peripheral indicator. I've played normal and hardcore in both the BETA and the release. I have no idea what this is, what are you talking about? O_O Can you take a screenie?

I can try and do that now

 

[.KilrBe3]

Indicator, you mean the white light bar that flashes where bullets are coming from? Besides that, im lost at what you all are talking about.. and I got over 40hrs in RO2 already..

 

[Devil_Inside]

Was playing on a realism server and it showed only enemies.
Hope they change it...

 

[Criticalt3]

I can try and do that now

Please do, I feel like I'm missing out here.

That little white thing on the left. Varies in size depending on how far away the person is (in this case ~10 m) and where he is in you vision etc.

 

[.KilrBe3]

Never seen it in my life, nor would I notice it.

 

[Criticalt3]

Wow. I've never seen that in my life. I'm perplexed. I know that I haven't just been missing it either, because I've stared at the sides of my screen before while hearing an enemy, and nothing shows up.

 

[B4$$TarD]

Just pay attention, they should appear. But they are not very obvious, it's your peripheral vision we're talking about here. I use it a lot since I am (as you con possibly tell) a Machine Gunner

What resolution/FOV do you play it on?
