cuz it dont work like that

But feel free to spend more than the collective 60 or so hours some of the most knowledgeable BF modders have spent on it to prove me wrong.

If have played Assault on Mestia for a while on the PR 0.6 beta, you would surely know what the militia soldiers say when they throw the frag grenades or smoke grenades. Those are pretty easy. Surely you must know them by now...

If you are a medic and someone requests a medic, check your mini map and it will show an icon for a critically wounded soldier. Same with if you have an ammo bag and someone requests ammo, an icon will show up if someone needs ammo.

'[R-DEV wrote:IronTaxi']it is a catch 22 i think...the primary reason for removing the text is the huge text spam that happens in which the important msgs can easily get lost...

but at the same time we are actually losing cues for teamwork, agreed...but the idea is always compromise right?

as far as the devs are concerned this is a healthy compromise..

That's it in a nutshell...

I'm glad for the changes... If you don't see you teammate flashing or the huge Ammo symbol or Medic Cross you need to just look at your HUD like you would a rear veiw mirror in a car, about every 10 seconds, give or take...

yeah , i know those , coz i play mestia for a while , BUT people that just start playing the mod will not undertand it .

also , i dont know ths sound of "medic" or "ammo","follow me","requesting pick up",etc ,etc .

VOIP is not the solution for everything . they remove the mensages ,why? radio spam. now radio spawm is solved , why didnt put the mensages back again?

We're not really making the mod for those people any longer.

Not saying we *never* want new players .. I know many of you folks have a hard time understanding things that are not purely "black and white" .. but we are making the mod for players who will grow to appreciate the cleaner aspects of the mod and use the free and included VOIP.

Also not saying we can't improve on some of the decusions we have made .. but realistically .. it's not that hard to figure out what is going on if you pay attention and use the VOIP.

Haha, i always play with "german voices only".

IRL you should understand the language your comrades speak.

But it's a massive lack of atmosphere.....

1:30 minutes until 0.609 is finished downloading. Guess i will start now using all languages ingame.

You fail.
How will you deal with inhabitants when you ever move to the middle east/Russia/China?
You wont be able to tell them that you need medical assistance or want them to get in your car.
I will.
