Squadleader coms

Ok, i know/think this has been discussed before and i know the voip is hard coded. But i would like to see communication between the squad leaders. Im sorry if what im about to say has already been suggested, i have searched... So don't slate me for this just lock it lol!

Anyway..... the commander can talk to all the different squad separately. Sooo... what if, when you become a squad leader you get the same capabilities as a commander (as in the screen when you press tab). But disable everything except the voip sections. So you have the communication between different squad leaders. Therefore you dont have to go through the commander. I think this would be a great addition to the game.

Again sorry if this is a repeat! :grin: :grin: :grin:

My opinion is that EA/DICE made the only good thing is that there is no SL communication.
It's just reality that all that should go past the commander first.

I think it was like that in one of the previous Bf2 versions?

could you some how put voip in the game and make squad leaders the only ones that can use it?

That wouldn't really work tbh, it's not that important for Sl's to beable to VoIP each other, that noone else should be allowed to talk.

It's good for squad leaders to communicate with each other, to coordinate their squads efforts in the fulfilment of their collective objectives.

The argument about always going through the commander doesn't really wash with me. It's still a game after all, and quite often some people just don't want to play commander.

Like the earlier posters say, the VOIP system is almost certainly hardcoded.

You could always look for servers who run a Teamspeak/Ventrilo server open to all players.

Although on my server we don't currently allow public access to Teamspeak, we do try to get [T&T] members leading squads (on both sides). That allows for inter-squad comms, and (more importantly in my opinion) means more experienced players can hopefully give help and advice to newer ones, which will hopefully result in an enjoyable experience by all.

I'm sure other clans/communities will do the same.

If you:

A) are pretty sure this has been discussed before

and

B) know its hardcoded...

...then you shouldn't post it.

God, I'm turning into vikingo mkII.

i know that voip is hard coded but could'nt you have some kinda of extra voip in project reality that allowed the squad leaders to talk to each other.

So you say A. you know its been suggested and B. its not possible, yet you post it?.....Riiight 8-)

Please use the search function to see if it definitely has been suggested before or if you know it has, just dont bother as it will lead to the thread being locked for re-suggestion, like so.
