Alien and Marine Taunts

Hey all,

I was thinking that the aliens and marines needed some kind of taunt different voices/sounds maybe 2 or 3 that you could select in the game to be used in different situations.

What do you think?

    ... the taunts we already have are nice and I don't want thousands of buttons for different taunts. Furthermore there is a lot more interesting stuff we and the devs can think about ?!

    Im sure they are gonna have some new ones. the classic ones were pretty good. I loved spamming them to freak out the marines.

    As long as the Skulk chuckle remains I'll die happy.
    In my opinion it's best just to let the Kharaa have one or three taunts that randomize after hitting the taunt-button as Kharaa (the old chuckle being one of them of course, or even on a separate button so I can hit it whenever I want to <3 ), and if possible they should be the same across the different species so a chuckle nearby a marine can really mean just about anything.
    It would pretty much defeat its purpose if using a taunt as alien if it would reveal your species, although inconsistent it's still better for gameplay mechanics.

    Marines however could be cool if they added more, especially if the characters are going to be customizable it would be kickass to choose your own voiceset to that character.

    I would love to hear the female say "My shrink says I need an outlet for my aggression."

    I want the marines to say, "They mostly come out at night....mostly"

    Also i want marines to yell while shooting the hmg when they are in danger.

    I definitely would like dynamic voices like in TF2 or L4D (I think I reference these two games way, way too much) where based on the current situation the marine picks from a big list of pre-recorded statements (incoming ONOOOOOOSS!). Though aliens should be absolutely quiet unless performing an action (leaping, biting, swiping, requesting heal, taking damage etc). Even if a skulk had a list of chuckles that could be auto triggered by killing a marine or a squad. Maybe even more of a cackle if it was a HA or destroying an AA or something of similar importance. Just some food for thought.

    I agree to the dynamic voices for marines and aliens but it should be "within the team", meaning only other teammates can hear it and not the other team. Because having you say something when you're supposed to be hiding is just ridiculous.

    For sure, wouldn't want to be above a marine ready to ambush, preparing to pounce... and then let out a chuckle giving your position away.
