'[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.
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.

What the hell is this discussion about? Both options are in game, and the only problem was the british voices turning into the american ones which cant be changed since its hard coded - so... where's the problem anyway?
