I think the name of the thread tell all about my suggestion. i think it would be kinda cool if you crouch beside a wall and the squadleader is showing a hand signal to move around the corner or into the building instead of yelling "MOVE NOW". or if he hold up the hand instead of fall back, etc.
hand signals would give the soldiers more interactivity i think it should be the hitting word for it. the soldier are not only running crouching and shooting. they are moving giving hand signals etc. so I would like to see that if its possible!

Me thinks it's hard coded and what's the point? Just use VOIP.

yes it I think is hardcoded. cant be done but just use VOIP is right. It was put there for a reason.

Someone would need to animate it, theres already VoiP and TS, most people arent always looking at their SL anyway and it would often go unnoticed[no free head movement coupled with a monitor Field of View rather than Real Life]...etc...
There are many things that just make this not worth the effort.

dunno if it might be possible to link an animation to the commrose(q-button) but still pretty pointless VoiP FTW!!!

They had these animations in 2142 and it didnt bring anything to the gameplay, just looked cinematic.

Why are you making suggestions if you never even played it before? Or are you reffering to R6:V2

It's not impossible, maybe a lot of work..
It should be cool fi you could give some handsignals..
It would be very cool.
And ofcourse it CAN help in gameplay.. in some way..

problem - the british army use different hand signals to the US and probably MEC. So it would be a lot of animating. As for insurgents, they would have waving their hands wildly and running into a crowd and exploding!

Just thought i'd reopen this as i was thinking about it today.
Does anybody know how they could link the commo rose to activate 3p animations?
Some people dont see any point in this as shown above, but i believe it would reduce the amount of shouting in squad, encorperate visual communication hugly and make sticking close to the squad leader a lot more imperetive, influancing people to act with caution and move more slowly.
I would like to hear a military instructor's perspective on this, because i know the squad leader sometimes stays at the back of a wedge formation...so if it were to be implimented it would have to go out to more than just the squad leaders, and the ability be given to squad members as well. I dont think you need head turning for this, i think you just need formations. any opinions? i know it would be a bit of work, but you only need the basic ones..."Infantry gather around me" "Advance" "Stop" "Cease fire" etc.
