Comma Rose

Leo · Post by **Leo** » 2007-02-17 22:49

To add to all of the previous comma rose suggestions, can we add in Allah Akbar in for the Insurgents? When you would do this one it would pop up on both teams, but you can only do it twice every 5 seconds so you don't spam. I'm suggesting this because my hand is tired from typing it up. And I'm not sure if this would be possible, but make it so that you can do it while dead too....

Didn't we just have a suggestion for this..?

Sounds a little lame, everyone will be running around spamming Allah Akbar Allah..

I think it's going abit far. Plus it's not exactly fair on the moderate Muslims - seeing some wacko's shouting out there gods name every time they kill someone. They see it enough on the news, it's not really ethical or fair to have this ingame imo.

A bit pointless to be honest.
Just type it but i wouldnt use it if it was in the coma rose.

Explain to me how it isn't fair to moderate muslims that we might realistically depict what is going on in the world today. How is it not ethical or fair? Seriously, give me your reasons, I don't get it. The only god's honest reason I can see for not putting something like this in would be to avoid making people like you whine about it.

I think this would be excellent, some sort of taunt feature. Anybody remember BFV? Each army had a 'taunt' radio command that had a few different phrases attached to it. The vietnamese told the American's they were dogs and that they were whores and the US said stuff like "Comon get some!" and "comon charlie lay it on me" " you want war I got your war".

I think a taunt feature would be

1) Realistic because lots of soldiers are ecstatic in victory, and would shout out something like this
2) Fun for people to use, hopefully it would take the place of teabagging people
and
3) Add some individual flavor to PR, that would give it some unique novelty, the kind of novelty BFV and BF42 had, but BF2 had them all stripped away.

Allah Akbar isnt a gods name, Allah Akbar in translation is: God is great

newtons right... it would be completely realistic. American soldiers hear it every day in Iraq. And how bonechilling would it be to be walking down a street then suddenly hear: ALLLAHU AKBAR! ALLAHU AKBAR! coming from every direction

Didn't the devs already state that this will not happen? I'm personally glad with that decision. Because personally I'm sick of all the people spamming the chat with "JIHAD 133T10101! and ALLAH ACKBAR ZOMG!". It's really getting a little immature. This thread should be locked just like the last one.

the other suggestion was great , only when you press "clik" to detonate the IED , the player say "allah alkabar" .

I really just love taunting the guy that I just killed by driving my motorbike into their cobra. It messes with their moral, and I think its one of the only worthwhile things about the insurgents, it takes the edge off of constantly getting strafed and rocketed by US air power.

Not to my knowledge, and I'm a tester who talks to all the most active devs whenever they are on teamspeak.

In fact, I know a lot of testers and devs agree with me, they just think its rather low priority (as do I) and things like basic gameplay and weapons and maps are waay more important, but long term this would be a nice thing to add.

adding taunts would be fun butlow prority.

Americans would have to have "whooooo whoooooooo FOK YEA" as per youtube

UK: "gosh dya see that mate?"

This is what was posted by a dev in an earlier topic.

Was discussed on the Dev boards a while back. Was decided that it was too sensitive to add in. Don't forget that its a general Muslim phrase and is not used exclusively by insurgents.

We are not here to offend anyone, and since its a sensitive issue we will steer clear of it for now.

Nah, we'd have to have part of the song "America, F*ck Yea" Playing

Warning, explicit.
