Voice communication

I'm reading through the manual and I have a question. It says that the commanders can 'talk' to the troops, and I assume this is through Half-lifes voice comm. However, I was curious if Marines can talk to other marines, only marines in their squad, or everyone including the Commander. Also, do the aliens get voice comm as well?

    It'd be nice to have a couple buttons for voice comm

    1 - commander (requests)
    2 - marines (discussing the commanders performance >: ) )
    3 - commander + marines (alerting of possible enemy attacks where they're breaking throught et cetera

    or even a private voice chat to a single person or group of ppl on ur team

    I was thinking something similar.
    Like say +voicecomm1 would be to just marines, +voicecomm2 to marines + commander

    Voice comm is general throughout halflife, anyone can talk if they have it, no one above another.  Commanding without voicecom is nearly impossible.  I think, what you mean though, is can the commander use radio commands to talk to troops.

    The answer is sort of.  Laying down waypoints or telling marines to build something makes a radio signal to them saying things like: 'build structure at waypoint'.  If that's what you mean. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    What I meant was, wont it be rather distracting for the Commander to constantly hear:
    "JOHNNY FADE ON YOUR6 LARRY ON YOUR LEFT LOOKOUT BEHIND THAT ROCK CHECK THAT VENT OMG THEY'RE ALL AROUND US *gunfuregunfire*"

    Also, if Im talking and the Commander starts to talk, will his voice go over mine?

    currently in version 1, all voice com is the same as it is in any mod.

    That means each team has their own, however no one can talk louder then anyone else.

    Perhaps in version 1.1

    didn't Flayra try to have the commander cut out all other voice traffic but decided that if it will be done at all not in version one?
