Communication

[UnDeRøAtH]

Hey, I was just thinking; how will the voice communication work? Will only people near by be able to hear you, or will it be "radio" communication where allys can hear what you are saying over your radio. Even so, I think that anyone nearby should be able to hear you (like a locust player thats sneaking up on a gear player) even if you are talking over the radio.

What are your thoughts?

1. theres a whole other thread about this exact topic but o well
2. i think that u should just talk and it automatically goes to the rest of the team without pressing buttons. and as far as proximity and the other team hearing you, i dont think that should be put in this game because of the realism factor, do you think locusts speak english? do you think the COG speak locust? No, and even though both teams will be speaking english (at least from this country) you can get my point about not being able to hear the other team

I agree, they should do radio imo. But i think lip-sinching will be totally killer!

they did lipsync in far cry instincts on xbox and far cry instincts predator on 360, not to compare or anything...

I think it should be radio, but there should be a stall period if your in a blast or explosition and you lose radio contact for like two minutes, can freak rookies on the battlefield calling for help and noone can hear you.

maybe...but the mics now arent that great and that happens without the explosions lol. it would work if u couldnt hear anything for like 30 seconds, and during that time u hear a buzzing sound(like you would hear if you went deaf from an explosion)

cool kinda like what happens in cod2 with the whole explosion thing, that'll work.

Blech, I hate proximity chat...

it worked well in that other micorsoft game that begins with an "H" :)
but i dont think it would work in gears, see my post up there for details :D

I think the you team should have like there own radio channel that way you can communicate but you could maybe hack it using a device so you can hear the other teams plans that would be sweet

They had something like that in SC. The Spies would have to keep their Binocular Reticle on a Merc to hack into their Comm.

^^^^ that sounds cool, and you could do that also in Far cry insticts both for xbox and xbox 360... im not trying to compare but its the best example
