dvader0571 Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 I know voice chat was removed from pc version. Is it coming back? It really sucks not being able to communicate with my team mates. Even the limited communication in UT2003/4 was better. I'd like to know before I spawn if a marksman is needed or if there are enough soldiers to protect the spawn of a missle launcher/jet trooper. Communication is vital to success!
Whoopknacker Posted November 12, 2004 Posted November 12, 2004 Theyre working on radio commands. They need some taunts with it. Die Rebel Scum, Open Fire yada yada
dvader0571 Posted November 12, 2004 Author Posted November 12, 2004 Originally posted by Pho3nix yah, Voice Chat would be kewl unfortunately the word is no voice chat, itll be command driven like UT (by hitting a key to issue commands) expanding on what they have now. Guess you gotta make friends and download Teamspeak to really communicate. From the Devs "Since there are several voice choices on the PC (Roger Wilco or Teamspeak), we made the decision late in development to remove voice chat support for the PC version. However, we are investigating alternative communication methods such as voice commands for the PC version."
JoffyFett_TAW Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 Yep it sucks that you can have voice chat in the game, even some taunts setup on default keys would be nice. But because i play with a clan me and all my team mates are on teamspeak. It does add a bit more fun during the game and helps relay info better than stopping and typing a message. Which usually get you killed while your stood there typing it.
Vagabond Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 My buddy and I use Ventrilo, but it sucks that the PC version doesn't have a native voice chat system so that everyone playing on a team can communicate with each other. This is very disappointing
Rends Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 I´m glad not to have the ingame voicechat because of guys crying something stupid into their mic...running screwy music and misinterpret that a voicechat isn´t a local radiostation or more worse singing something stupid during the gameplay. If i need voicechat for a game i simple can use Ventrilo... RogerWilco... Teamspeak because i have a PC and can run both the game and the voicechat software at the same time. Rends
Vagabond Posted November 15, 2004 Posted November 15, 2004 That's a good point about idiots abusing the voice chat system with garbage. The solution would be for an in-game voice chat system to have a way of muting the offending players for the duration of their session on the server - possibly permanently, if the system were made robust enough.

UT2004 has it so you have to hit the F key to chat which makes it harder to abuse, but not impossible, if you're willing to run around playing with your finger on the F key all the time lol. Well teamspeak, ventrilo works great I have both and GameVoice too. Just need to have some coordination like clan thing so that we get familar with other teammates.
Mountainforest Posted November 16, 2004 Posted November 16, 2004 With taunts that kind of tstuff can happen to. People sreaming "enemy submarine spotted!" when there is no water in the whole map.
