Player Communication

  • Hello Everyone,


    Highest on MY wish list would have to be getting a push to talk proximity voice chat for players to interact w/out that cumbersome "T" text chat. TeamSpeak is a viable alternative of course and I use it often when communicating with fellow Admins but many players either don't have TS or don't want to use it. I think that the prospect of relatively private interaction between players with the simple act of pushing a button would tend to encourage communication and give the environment a much more personal feel.

  • I would argue that most people with a microphone that actually use it in games, regardless of whether they have a dedicated headset or use speakers, most likely already use some form of voice chat program - whether Teamspeak, Mumble, Ventrillo, Skype or some other alternative. As much as it would be nice to have such a feature, I'd consider it a low priority, considering the numerous alternatives and complexity with adding in voice chat to an engine that doesn't natively support it (I'm guessing, otherwise it would already be implemented?).
