I get that gaijin does not want to open the pandoras box of voice chat but the game needs it.
The game also needs a chat box that stays up the entire game so people can communicate.
Its the one thing really holding the game back from some serious team play which is needed.
Right now its just people running around with their heads cut off and the only way to win the game is to have a competent engineer.
People don’t communicate either way.
I certainly don’t want to communicate with an army of 12 year olds that are all having aggressive intercourse with your mother at all times.
Thats not really an argument. Because the benefits voice gives outweighs the negatives.
this is also a beta and its worth testing. Gaijin has never done voice chat and this is a hard M rated game and arguing that “content moderation” is the issue is a cop out.
We have voip, it’s F2 on PC. My friend activated it accidentally a week or two ago.
i mean team/game wide not when you team up with a co-op friend
Oh, so it’s only for your group? Good to know.
ya
I think there 's a good ambiance specially because there is no chat! people play and that’s it, no insults, no trolls, it’s fine!
also no teamwork
at all
Your ability of critical thinking, or rather, lack of it, and obvious lack of reading comprehension doesn’t constitute “that’s not an argument” because you don’t understand the point.
I’m not interested in public voice chat where 12 year olds are all having aggressive intercourse with your mother constantly. Voice chat should only be, and currently is, restricted to squads.
It would be both immersion ruining not to mention disgusting.
Thats cool but you are wrong and voice chat makes it so player interaction and teamwork is better.
Assuming that 12 year olds will be screaming at you and it will trigger your aspergers you can just perma mute voice in the options audio section
Have you played Red Orchestra/Rising Storm?
ya those games are amazing
That is an example of what you said above, not an argument.
You mean like Rainbow Six Siege that has this function and most of the time it’s not used, and when it is used, it’s used to hurl racial slurs at other players?
Or Valorant where they are now monitoring voice chat because people are toxic?
Or Overwatch where you hear racial slurs every match almost?
Or Red Orchestra where it’s a combination of 12 years olds screeching uncontrollably, or adults insulting their entire team because they died? Or being called N-words left and right?
Voice chat for the entire match should be avoided.
that’s pretty much the extent of the teamwork with VOIP:
Imagine being an adult and not wanting to hear a man-child like yourself hurl insults constantly because you died in a video game.
Grow up.
Waaaaa I can’t call people the n-word without repercussions, waaaaaaa!!!
That’s what you sound like. Doesn’t take Einstein to understand voice chat is in general toxic beyond belief and not worth the effort.
Cope
Seethe
dilate
The thing is, Hell Let Loose, Postscriptum, Squad and to a much lesser degree Project Reality, require good communication otherwise they just suck. It’s not as important for winning as to generally having a fun time instead of spending 95% of the game on just running from respawn to objective.
RO/RS have voip and it makes barely any difference on a teamplay, because guess what, many people just disable it. Ones in a while you actually get a good commander that communicates, most of the time it’s just some drunk re-tired guy yelling at the screen.
It’s better to add other means of communication, instead of voip.
