That's not really the problem. The problem is me playing as US/Brits and hearing enemy Chinese/MEC soldiers speaking in english, that's just wrong in my books. In terms of wanting to understand your teammates, most of the important messages get displayed in text as well.'[R-MOD wrote:Wasteland;589731']In the same way, IRL the PLA speaks Chinese and MEC [would] speak Arabic. But a MEC or PLA soldier would understand his countrymen perfectly. There would be no split second hesitation of "was that enemy *infantry* spotted, or enemy *forces* spotted?" At the same time, if they heard an American shout something, they would know that it was an American.
I think that the best way to model this sort of situation is with accents. People think it's not realistic, but really it is.
