Vanilla voices

nicoX · Post by **nicoX** » 2007-10-14 20:12

I find the vanilla voices boring and "noobish", particular MEC's. PR have done nice work with British and Militia, so why not do the American, MEC and Chinese voices a PR job.
It's not a priority but soon the factions will be done and then it will make time for making not just this but other small details from a PR perspective.
I just don't want to get reminded of vanilla when playing PR and it would be a good thing for PR itself taking distance.

Militia voices are from BF2 SF and British are also from there, except from the grunt ones

If I remember correctly, some of the Chinese PR players redid BF2's Chinese voiceovers and the devs were talking to them about it. This was a few months ago. Good luck finding voices for MEC though...

Yeah PR did a REALLY good job with militia voices

. When you spot infantry you'll shout "I've spotted enemy helichopter" in russian.

Are you volunteering to do 100+ voice overs?

most of the people who do have a tendency to, well, disappear.

What we need is someone who speaks Farsi.

I know a guy, actually. But why do you want that? No Persian factions are in the game...unless you're adding in Iran by yourself?

No, what you need is someone who speaks Arabic, of which I recall us having one already, somewhere.

Actually you need to have the person at a studio or using a similar microphone so the voices have a standard to follow. If PR is located in England there is no problem finding voices for this languages. Make an ad and hire the best suitable one.

if this is true, then its a BF2 bug.
we use these files exactly as they are named ini BF2. maybe they named a file wrong there..

@ waaah_wah

it would be really helpful if you could check all the russian voicefiles for errors in this folder: common_client.zip\Sound\Rebels\

thnx.

This is probably something we won't be seeing. Getting American and British speaking players may not be as difficult as Chinese & Arabic. Then even if you could find someone that does, you need them to be fluent, they need to have proper recording equipment, they need to be mature (no 13 year old Chinese voices thank you), and finally they need some degree of voice acting talent.

Exactly, it's more difficult than you think to find voice talent with access to all the recording eqiupment whom will actually take the time to record all every single voice command and all their variants.

I couldn't play off those files for some reason. But AFAIK, the only on that is wrong is the "Zasek vertolet protivnika" (Spotted enemy helichopter)

OT, Waaah_Wah, please remove that stupid sig, any silly java script that makes a member of the Community have to restart their pc to get rid of garbage isn't exactly welcome.

Waaah_Wah · Post by **Waaah_Wah** » 2007-10-16 21:49

Was playing BF2: Special Forces the other day, they say the same exact thing there, too.

So it is either correct or EA messed it up.

EA messed up then coz its not correct. But idk i dont really play SF. I'll have to check that out

I would like to see better, more proffesional voices for pr. The words that the "non-squad leaders" say are ridonculous. I think all the troops should be replaced with the squad leader voices, they are much more proffesional.

for example that british non squad leader yells out SNIPAH so hilariously it is beggining to get stupid.

Eeek, if all the squad members had the squad leader voices, it would be so reptitive...
