Regular voices. These are only heard by your team members if you within 20 or so meters from them. These play in Pubs and FW, but not in PC.

"Grenade!" when one is thrown near you.
"Grenade out." when you throw a Locus or AV 'nade.
"Flux out." when you throw a Flux 'nade.
"I need repairs!" when your armor falls down 25%.

"Sniper!" When first shot with a sniper rifle. Not every time you are shot!
"I need Ammo!" When your run out of ammo with a weapon.

Factional Taunts. These are heard by the killer and victim, but not the victim's allies, These only have a 15% chance of playing. They can only be heard by the victim if they are close enough to their killer when they die (about 20m). These only play in FW.

"Traitor!"

Minmatar FW
"For freedom!"

"The Empire will fall!"....

I can't think of anymore for Minmatar... I don't really know them well enough.

I prefer that someone else doesn't tell me what my character sounds like to be honest.

Why is my argument weird? My character is supposed to be a representation of me, Her voice should be my voice.

With your idea, every merc will have one of a handfull of voices meaning every match you'll have characters on both sides that sound exactly like yours.

Plus, if suits are sealed and soundproof (I know there's nothing that says either way on that yet) the only people hearing your voice would be you and others on comms. If you want to hear a voice when you do certain things, just do it yourself in RL. As a sniper, I don't want some random voice making some sort of exaltation when I make a kill. That breaks the immersion, such as it is, for me.

Since everyone's from different races, there will be one that is a common language. You'd mostly only get racial languages where everyone was of one race.

Ahh, okay. My mistake if that's what they meant. I thought someone was trying to be clever and suggest that the voices should be in the various in-game races languages. Your idea makes more sense.

Oh, sarcasm. That's original.

Seriously though. It was a mistake on my part. Most of my posts yesterday were about lore subjects so my mind went first to it being a lore thing. After Alena Ventrallis pointed out my mistake, it was one of those, 'Oh Yeah, that was a bit dumb of me' moments.

At the same time it took a little over 11 hours for anyone to comment about it so I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who's mind went that way first.

Go back to COD, we don't want your sort around here.

I know this is just me, but I 've found there to be plenty of atmosphere in Dust. I would rather not have 'battle voices', if you want that, try doing it yourself in voice.

There are plenty of 'battle noises' each weapon makes it's own sound, as does each piece of active equipment. And even footfalls make a noise. I would quite happily lose the generic grunts as my character moves around, ecause it's hardly immersive for my female merc to sound like a guy when she moves.

And at 10 million SP, the skill system is still relevant to me.

Of course I'm also coming to Dust with 7 years off and on in EVE behind me and I understand that maybe a lot of others don't have that.

This isn't a themepark game like BF or CoD. It's part of a greater sandbox game. Personally, I think it would have helped them to delay launch for a year or two, get all the gear and vehicles in as well as a PvE system and have theplayer market ready from launch. However, we, and more importantly CCP, have to deal with the reality of the situation. The basic game is out, they're working on adding the rest of the core components and trying to keep the game balanced as best they can whilst doing it. Once all the basic gear is in, all the dropsuit types for each race for example, then they'll move onto the next part, imo either PvE or the Market. Once the game is up to it's full status and has been live on TQ alongside EVE for long enough to know it 's stable, that's when you should be evaluating it.
