Ive got a question. Who would download the mod knowing that they would have to BUY a headset? most headsets cost from $18.00-$40.00. Its not a lot but im not willing to pay extra for a mod. People would most likly just go back to BF42 or BF43 and this mod would die.
i have one for 5 euro  ;)
-i am fairly sure that if they took porn off the internet, there would only be one website left and it would be called bring back the porn "Perry cox, Scrubs.

Custom squads. Seriously, try it. Make "English VOIP squads", "German VOIP Squads", "insert country here VOIP squads". You won't find any Portuguese in a English squad.

Seriously though, this game is alot more fun when the guys you play with talk.  Whether you know them or just met them.  I don't know what would be the best way to encourage a culture shift, but I think it would add much more fun to every match.
(quoted to get off of the genital topic)

I don't consider language barrier a reason why talking in squads doesn't happen.  Sure there are some that cannot.  Lots of people don't talk, but I don't think it has to do with all of them not speaking English.  Other games have a higher level of communication and teamwork, and don't suffer from the barrier complaint. Of course you can't force people to talk or have a mic.  In my old clan we had a few deaf members.  They weren't capable of listening nor answering.  But along with the language barrier, I doubt 90% of FH2 players are deaf.

I think we are here

- A majority of FH2 players have some English communication ability (German Tank West).
- A majority of FH2 players have a mic or should be able to get one (cheap)
- The best FH2 games involve great squad communication
- The boring fh2 games usually involve no squad communication, regardless of the map (any africa map with good squad coms == 285% more fun)
- Good squad communication is rare at best


The best matches are when you can talk to guys and have fun.  Almost no matter how awesome you pwn by yourself, it still isn't as fun and rewarding as doing it with a good squad.  How can the community encourage the social part of the game that is lacking at times.

If you knew that you could join any  ALPHA, BRAVO, CHARLIE squad and have great squad communication, would the game be more fun your you?  I hate joining a map and all three squads on my side are the generic names and all the members of those squads are just running around randomly.  Why even play.


How can the community or game encourage more squad communication?  I don't know how.  But I know if that just everyone on the FH Forums and the tournaments would use their in game voice on the pubbies, it would be a lot more fun.

Forcing people to use their mics is not a good idea, I also sometimes have days where I just want to play all alone without disturbing VOIP chat.

But what I would like to see is mumble for FH2, it works great in PR and any other game. I guess it could start as a project, make good mumble settings, a game server where you can only play with mumble and gather up some players, probably the best thing that could happen.

great thing, but FH2 lacks orientation bearing, so if you tell : enemy infantry in front behind that er... tree with  small bushes next to it with a depresion :) rather "inf at 20 NE"

we need a compass, reality mod did it and that is where you use your mic to report enemies.

on the second thought, FH2 is just too quick and arcadish, and close combat is much more common than ambushes, so mic is rather not that much needed.

Don't we all use the minimap to get your bearings.
If someone says to me Enemy movement north of your position, I take a look at the minimap to get my bearings.

unless it's a serious battle, I'm talking clan or worse (tatabesting) you won't catch me near VOIP or TS, I rely on an array of senses to cause havoc, I don't need to hear how you just owned something, or listen to you discussing the tank projectile velocity whilst I am trying to seek and destroy, often I wait until critical moment before attacking, like reload sounds, or e.g. "it's gonna blow" tells me that enemy is stuck in an animation throw, time to rush in and kill.

Honestly I joined VOIP ages ago on HSLAN, all I hear was someone called hezobolah shouting, no,.. screaming obscenities so much that the tweeters on my system were squealing.  NEVA AGAIN!
