So if squad member was a scout, and he had some important information to tell high command he couldn't do it? He had to tell it to squad leader who had right to tell it to high command, and what ever high commend respond he had to wait for squad leader respond in name of scout? MAG is a different game - really.



We are on 'squad grouping stage' so I do not have to worry about that for now.

The game does not have Commander role yet. There's no point on wasting time on improving something that don't need to be improve for now.


This is why I'll be on the winning side.

The OP does have some good points. Voice comms need to be more dynamic. I understand we are testing specific features in the current build, but I also can see the potential future of comms if the ones on this build "stay". That future is not dynamic and not on par to current tactical shooters. Yes, we can currently switch to Team if needed but that process does not flow or is not as dynamic as a MAG based system would/could be. EVE Fleet like channels and set up should be what we are getting, but based on the current build I do not think we will see them.

Being prior military, my opinion of the "Ideal" comms set up is one in which the unit (i.e Corporation/Clan) sets up themselves. This goes for squad sizes too (Hmm, I think EVE has this already). Now, what I mean by this is take MAGs comms (Squad Level, Leader Level, Platoon Broadcast, OIC Broadcast) and Improving on them. The Platoon Leader sets up his/her Squads and their Comm Channels to the initial needs of the battle (this way you can have a Recon only squad if needed with their own Channel). This same PL should have access to each individual squad's comms as well as a Squad Leader only channel and a Team Broadcast. The Field Commander should have access to a Platoon Leader only channel as well as all the PL made channels and a OIC Broadcast. This all allows for better teamwork in the long run (if done right).

Unfortunately MAG has taught me that Comms are too difficult for random players to master. The only people ever using them properly are almost ALL in Clans or Super Groups of multiple clans. These are the people that get it and end up winning more than often due to superior communication which results in better teamwork. The Current comm setup seems almost designed to Limit teamwork to 4 or Less unless your group is more adaptable than the average group. People are less likely to switch channels.. partlially because it is not a habit they are used to and partially becasue they don't really think about it or don't know about it.
