Good Feedback, I'll definitely take that into consideration. Although realize that the vast majority of these will only pop up in dialogue boxes, since I imagine having audio tips in tense situations would be much more distracting to the player. So the voice tips will most likely be limited to PR features that occur away from battle, (IE entering the chopper, entering the game) where as the ones like getting shot will definitely be exclusively a pop up box.dtacs wrote:For the past few days I've been playing BF2 and listening to the voice tips, and one thing that I noticed is that they need to be catchy, as I could recite EVERY single one, word for word when it came up. Stuff like this:
You have been wounded! Seek medical attention as soon as possible! Apply your "Field Dressing" bandage to help stem the bleeding!
Could be shortened to something like:
The BF2 ones did the same, by having the little text bit up the top come up as (default 9) as opposed to saying the button, since often people change them and it can become confusing.
Also, 'incendiaries' is a bit confusing as well, remember these should be aiming to the person who has never played PR or BF2 even. 'Use C4 or incendiary grenades to destroy it' would be a better option.
While these do destroy the immersion factor somewhat, vague and cryptic language can really confuse new players. Be as direct an unrealistic as possible to ensure they know what the tip is telling them.
Could simply become:
Just my thoughts on it.
