Hearing the enemies voice-talk

Dark Rage

If the devs implement radio calls (need a medpack/ammo) should be heard if the aliens are close but actual mic chatter should be left alone. The teams need to be able to effectively communicate and i would rather sacrifice immersion for game play.

A)Why?
B)This changes nothing except the added benefit of marines becoming paranoid about skulks being everywhere spying on them.

I would too, but this feature doesn't really influence gameplay all that much.

Honestly, it wouldn't make much sense in terms of game lore and it doesn't really offer much as far as gameplay. It can be argued that it has the possibility of being "interesting" but these things take up development time. Further, it would likely be a hate it or don't care that much about it feature. I bet that for every 1 person who loved it, 3 people would hate it.

While I think this would be a cool idea. Only with the parasite on them mind you. It would discourge people from using in-gmae chat. Thus making the game alot harder, because alt-tabbing to change channels when you jump into a different channel can crash most peoples comps. If they even change it so it would make them not use Vent-teamspeak.

really most games are public games. Any competive team will have there own TS/Vent up and useing it rather than ingame. And that is one thing that is hurting so much in Pub games is lack of communication.

So while the "coolness" factor is up there. The gameplay negative factor is a big problem.
