No communication anymore

[Woodbutcher221]

I know that I am being driven CRAZY by players that die not being able to communicate with the living players. I understand, I think, what they were trying to accomplish in V2 by doing this, but it has made the online play a whole lot less fun to play. I mean c'mon, being cut off everytime you are listening or talking to other players, wether it be about the game or not. Very, Very quiet during the games. Maybe it's just me.

in a ranked match, alive-only communication is essential and should not be changed.

i dont know if you can change the option in player matches, but i guess if you are playing a non-serious player match game, you should be able to set it however you want.

I actually came here this morning to start a thread of this nature... It's pretty bad; I can understand it for TDM or other team based objective games but why DM? Like many of you I have a group of friends who play together regularly, we all work full time and when we played RSV we would run public SS servers... it's bad enough they only have proximity, but the open chat when dead was our opportunuty to say things like "hey, good one" or "screw you, stop camping!" and whatever else. Now it's like a tiresome exercise in solitude. I really believe this game is a massive improvement over RSV, maily the ability to join in progress (thanx UBI!) but for christ sakes what were they thinking? Please bring back open chat while dead UBI at least for DM. Myself and all my friends played RSV for years and now we are wondering how we will ever be able to enjoy this game as much as the 1st without this feature. Anyone who agrees please post! Thanx

i never play last man standing or every man for himself modes that much so i didnt know that alive only chat applied to those as well. thats actually dumb.

taunting is the funniest part of those kind of non-team game types, especially when you sneak up behind a guy and the "audience" (dead players) reacts.

are you on XBL? whats the maximum amount of players you can have on a private chat (is it only 1 other person? i never really use this function much)? if you can get all your friends in a private chat while playing that could be a workaround to the silence

[Tim_the_Redd]

Yes it's only one other person to chat with, hopefully they'll change that in the future, I know me and most of my friends want a group chat feature.

[UNIV3RS4L]

*bump*

[UNIV3RS4L]

I hate to be a bump ***** but I can't be the only one who thinks the chat situation is a devastating blow to the DM fun factor... please post it up guys!

I agree with you 100%, and I did complain in the official feedback thread. My friends and I have had the game for almost 2 weeks now, we've only played 2 deathmatchs. Before it was mainly the only thing we played, while there was enough 'quorum' to make teams. (at least 10 people to make it interesting).

It's simply shameful to take away features that a previous version had. Especially when people get accustomed to it. After all, *those* features are that made R6 to be at the top of the XBL list every week.

They should at least bring it back as a host option.

[UNIV3RS4L]

bumped

[ookie21]

i agree that they should bring back dead talk, but more importantly whats up with nobody communicating in general. Communication was key in the last game, it seems like all the cod4 n halo players just switched to rainbow and dont no its a rainbow game.

Thats because of all the COD4 frontrunners who ruin all new games for a while before moving on to the next new game. I started a thread a month before this game came out predicting exactly whats goin on now- its all about winning and rank, not having fun. Dont be discouraged, by the time the 1st few updates are realeased these kids will move on to the next new thing and the game will finally become a TACTICAL shooter

[UNIV3RS4L]

I don't disagree that for all the other gametypes deadchat should be off... even ranked DM but unranked DM? I'm not making comparisions I'm just saying that in unranked DM in RSV you COULD talk while dead. That gametype for me and alot of people added to the infinite replayability of that game - Especially among friends. RSV is by far my most played game with thousands of hours I logged personally. Don't tell me "I don't know it's a rainbow game" just because you made a few observations about my game history. UBI, Bring back dead chat for unranked DM, please...

BTW it's you display your ignorance by calling the RSV series "tactical" while it does require a little more finesse than other run and gun shooters the fact that there is a lame GOW 3rd person cover mechanic detracts from the realism. I wish that they made the 3rd person cover and sprint an option in adversarial so then the game could be somewhat tactical. UBI has to appeal to a mainstream audience so they can get those $$$, so I can appriciate the game for what it is but don't fool yourself into thinking the vegas series is tactical...

Funny thing is that I experience more talking on COD4....

[azeron2007]

I have a post about this here (http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/1991064316/m/2861022246?r=9781012646#9781012646) . In my opinion it's a good thing for deathmatch but absolutely ruins objective modes like Team Leader and Attack & Defend. Having yourself cut off from your team's voice chat sucks.

They should either make it a host option again or allow dead players to hear alive players but not talk to them.

You're 100% right when you say more talk but 85% of that talk is completely unrelated to the game, and the 15% that is related is mostly taunting/bragging/complaining. After all the frontrunners left the 1st vegas, everyone called out their deaths and most people actually came up with (for lack of a better word) plays (?!)

that too minus the scurvy

I totally agree that it sucks without Chat in DM - and not being able to talk. I posted in the official feedback thread.

I play when i first start hosting or am winding down the night, once we dont have enough people to host TDM.
