General / Chat shouts sound volume
« on: 05-06-2018, 19:06:45 »
Hello guys! Off for my first post here, as I guess it won't be a biggie. Sorry for being lazy (long day at work in the sun), I haven't searched the forum up and down first, a quick search gave nothing, so I feel this is something I need to have your input on.

The quick chat wheel shouts, while distinctive and often really funny or interesting, can be used in annoying ways or be blown up to be straight spam (Deutschland!). Now I tried to change the values with the slider in the options menu, which hardly made any difference. I have seen in vids it's possible to mute it altogether, which I still can't bring myself to do - sometimes a little chatter is fun and I really like to hear that "take cover!" that comes from the guy a few steps ahead of me. What wrecks my nerve sometimes is that you hear the same "take cover!" in the same volume from far across the map, which doesn't really add something to gameplay at all.

Now my question: are there viable sound mods or option file changes that are able to reduce the radius of audible chatter, and why doesn't the slider at very low settings (2-4%) nearly mute the sounds, but sets them at half volume at best (lowest)? 

Are there any better ways you deal with this,  than to get used to spam or omit shouts as a whole?

Cheers!
