Master William Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 I don't know if you guys already know about this, but I quote the FAQ on the SWBF site: Will there be voice chat for the PC version? Yes, there will be voice chat for the PC version, as well as the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions. Of course, text chat will also be available in the PC version. Let's hope people use it for something good and not to go "omg nexus suxxxooorrr" or "nexus' mom nexus' mom" (happened to me in CS) I have the feeling everybody already know of this... I'll try to the delete the thread if that is the case
anders^on Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 Indeed. That fact is quite old yet. But no matter how old it is there's still some stuff to talk about. For example it would be nice to know who of you guys will use the ingame voice chat. I won't use that feature - I'll stick to my Teamspeak/Ventrilo. Don't wonna hear every kiddie crying when he's shot down, but talk to my clanmates.
Whoopknacker Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 I am sure that they will have an ignore feature like in BF42. I tell you that is a lifesaver. Especially when I am playing a good round and I am tired of looking at the racist or disgusting comments by a particular player. I am definately looking forward to voice chat. I dont like having to switch channels on TeamSpeak. As long as their is ignore Im cool with it.
THE BADGER: Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 As long as their is ignore Im cool with it. I'm sure there will be. There is ignore on SOCOM 2.
Stingray Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 I have ventrilo, but I'll mostly use the ingame voice-chat, I think. I'm grasping the opportunity to better teamplay anytime, and if some1 is whining, I'll just mute em. And frankly, sometimes I can even laugh when hearing ppl whining and getting angry. I mean, c'mon: Grow up!
Alegis Posted July 28, 2004 Posted July 28, 2004 there are about 2 other topics related to voice chat, and it was obvious it would be included (and thus not #3 topic worthy ) and ventrilo etc.
joesdomain Posted July 29, 2004 Posted July 29, 2004 LOL! So voice chat has been confirmed. I assume you can only use voice chat when playing against human players. To bad we couldn't have advanced video games where we can use voice chat to talk to computer allies or try to scare our computer enemies into surrendering. LOL!
GhostfacedKilla Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 If they can make the voice chat system just as good as socom2 they got my money I choose voice chat over over text chat because its very faster than typing. I can get out info to my sqaud about enemy movement so fast through the mic than by typing.
reelguy227 Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 if i get xbox live ,can me and a friend play against people on live ,using the same xbox.yu know like ,he comes over and we play co op against people online ,would that work?
Alegis Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Originally posted by DallasDawg If they can make the voice chat system just as good as socom2 they got my money Could people here please stop refering to SOCOM2 and be a bit more specific? I'm sure that every voice chat system i!n every game is effective
MaximumMayhem Posted August 3, 2004 Posted August 3, 2004 Originally posted by joesdomain To bad we couldn't have advanced video games where we can use voice chat to talk to computer allies or try to scare our computer enemies into surrendering. LOL! In answer of your question Joes, Unreal Tournament 2004 features voice to bot communication. You can tell them to defend or attack specifics, guard areas, follow you, protect you or other players / targets.. even tell them to dance! I definately think that voice chat is instrumental in co-ordinating quickly to your teammates. Ive never (not once) had a nasty run in or heard of one on UT 2004. There's generally a positive vibe there, with recognition and congratulations flowing constantly rather than hateful or stupid utterings. Voice has my full support in this game. If this rumoured "voice masking" feature comes into play... oh my GOD! I'll cream my pants! I already put on the Kiwi accent in UT 2004! There'll be no shutting me up when it comes to my verbal relations as a fully fledged Clone Trooper! Hot diggity DAMN! *Calms himself down* Regards - Steve
Tyler_Durden Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 I heard someone say that Pandemic trashed the voice masking. Too bad, it would have been dope to hear everyone sound like a clone. Maybe a patch for PC users down the line? Or maybe if someone has the smarts, they could develop a mod. Ahh that's the beauty of owning a PC. Maybe if they do develop something, Lucasarts can make it a download for the XBOX live as well. I think PS2 users are getting the short end of the stick, though. Can anyone confirm or deny the voice masking thing? Nitpicking aside, i simply can't wait to get my hands on this game.
yaebginn Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 I hope they dont use the mask thing. then people could lie about thier age easier.
reelguy227 Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 good point yae. its true.i cant wait any longer either.
Master William Posted August 4, 2004 Author Posted August 4, 2004 Originally posted by yaebginn I hope they dont use the mask thing. then people could lie about thier age easier. so? you're not playing battlefront to chat with somebody and find out information about them, you're playing battlefront to have fun. I so hate it when people start doing that in mics
yaebginn Posted August 4, 2004 Posted August 4, 2004 same here, but its alot easer ot talk smack online if they cant tell your voice. Its a phycological thing. there is still too much anonymity. I dont want the lil 12 year old kids to be talking smack even more then they do.
MaximumMayhem Posted August 5, 2004 Posted August 5, 2004 If that does very well occur (I don't expect it to be common at all though), that's when the Block feature comes in handy. Im all for voice masking. Pandemic could always release this in patch form. Either way, Im thankful for voice chat.
BobaFett123456 Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 I never play online ,but I'll use it while playing with my friends on my network if it has the voice changer thingy. (I'd be playing as a battle droid and keep saying "RogerRoger") Otherwise I'll just yell to them in the other room.
Virtuosis Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 Did they definetly trash the voice masking, if not they better have something to indicate who's talking. Or else if everyone sounds like a clone trooper than it might get confusing haha.
reelguy227 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 the voice masking thing sounds sweet ,why did they take it out ? im all for it even though i dont have live ,fees.is it officially taken out?
Virtuosis Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 The guy that said it was trashed in this thread said I heard someone say that Pandemic trashed the voice masking so I guess its just speculation?
reelguy227 Posted August 10, 2004 Posted August 10, 2004 wait a minute,was voice masking ever a plan for the game or did someone say that it would be cool thing to have ?
