Minor tactical and practical changes | Forums

[XyZspineZyX]

I still think RvS is not worked out in the tactical way for multiplayer. I thought about some minor changes that would be a bit better in a tactical way.

I think they should expand the voice communication abit. I've thought about the following voice additions:

* Hold your frags!
* Close door
* Tango spotted
--> on the roof
--> 1st floor
--> 2nd floor
--> near the windows
* Enemy frag, RUN!
* Keep distance (its annoying when you know you want to run away from the door after you've thrown a frag and there's a guy standing in your way to run back and you get shot )

As you see above i think they should expand the "Tango spotted" command. I also think that when somebody yells that, you see on the radar for some seconds in which direction the guy is looking.



Some other small fixes a would like to see:

* a 'save server settings' option
* a possibility to abort the loading of a level (because sometimes the level is shown incorrect in the server list and you get a level you absolutely dont want, with a low-end pc its very annoying)
* in the statistics screen (kills, deaths, %, etc.) i like to see the average FPS of every player.
* the possibility to send some kind of 'instant messages' to friends who are also playing RvS in another server. Like PM messages on a forum. You can reach a friend who is playing online somewhere else, that would be handy.

I'm liking the "hold your frags!" voice command idea. Additional suggested pre-recorded voice commands:

- "Open door"
- "Close door"
- "Weapons hot - fire at will"
- "Weapons cold - surpressed only"
- "Weapons safe - HOLD YOUR FIRE"
- "Enemy sniper spotted"
- "Area is hot... proceed with caution"
- "I have contact on heartbeat!"
- "Smoke it!"
- "Breach door"
- "Open and flash"
- "Open and gas"
- "Prepare to clear room"
- "Hold up - whats the plan"
- "Hold up - typing a message"
- "Disregard last transmission"
- "Friendly spotted!"
- "Hostages present! Check your targets!"

Thoughts?

Yeah how about
"The Enemy is weakened!" in a camp german accent [img]/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-wink.gif[/img]
or the universal "I seen french school girls shoot better"

Man, after a session on The Eye flipping between RVS, MOHSH, RTCW ET and BF1942 I get kinda confused on the voice commands...

Haha, yeah RTCW has great voice commands. Some of them were very location- and action-specific. And some of them were very funny. It made that much easier to coordinate with your team. Something like that for RvS would have been great. However, I don't think it's something we'll get from developers. I doubt there will be major developments for RvS beyond Athena Sword and the current patch. Maybe if SDK is ever released, we can get those voice commands via a mod. But in general game - not likely.
