Lower the volume of "enemy helicopter/infantry/etc spotted"

In some maps its not big problem when everyone are busy fighting so they dont spam the spotting feature all the time, but while waiting for enemy to attack like in muttrah city sometimes, it becomes really annoying how 30 ppls are spamming 100 times "enemy helicopter spotted" on same helicopter.... Specially MEC sounds so annoying

Check in your BF2 Audio Settings. There should be an option in there for that. "Voice overs" or something? Just lower it and leave the "Effects" settings up louder.

This can also be helped by spamming the text telling people to stop spotting the helo's over and over.
They did eliminate the text that goes with the spot but the volume is up to you I think.

Working on some kind of solution for the horrible radio spam. I agree, this shit gets really annoying.

What I was thinking about (dont quote on this we dunno if its completely possible) is to change the way things are reported.

So enemy forces (generic) enemy infantry, enemy sniper, enemy vehicle are all yelled out loud by your player and NOT called on the radio. It still appears to all teammates on the map, but its not called in the radio.

Larger assets like: APC, Tank, Jet, Helicopter are still called over the radio.

I think this would bring a ton of immersion into the mod, cuz suddenly you wont be hearing radio all the time, and if your buddy spots something while you are on patrol he can just press Q and click, and youll hear him say 'Enemy forces spotted!' and everyone can get down and look for that enemy!

I think the manner in which you described to make it so your character simply shout's it, instead of radioing it would be great. I really like that a lot. With this you would make it so everybody could see it on the mini map still correct?
