How long has this game been out now anyways? Is there any chance of something being done with the ridicules communications system?
I mean this game is so great in many ways. And it has a great potential for teamplay, but that's it...
This must be the first game I've played where typing something to your team mates or taunting the other team is impossible. If you type something, the message will be shown with very small letters, for a brief moment, up in the corner together with all the radio spam. This also applies for commanders, who after all are suppose to command people around? What the heck??
It's also impossible to type stuff to your team before and after the rounds. Before the round is when people lay plans, and after the round is when you say GG, and call the other team hackers. This is maybe the most important part of creating a good community around a game.
This game also has an ingame microphone system. First of all, it seems to me like 50% of the players don't hear what I say, and almost no one ever dears to speak. Also, for some reason, the speech system is created in a way that commanders can talk to squad leaders, and other people can only talk to people in their own squad. This system may have worked well in the mafia, but this is a battlefield for crying out loud! :confused:
Also, the commander himself, unique for this game (?), why can't he really give orders people?? He can order the squads to upload an arrow to their map, and talk to the squad leaders over the voice system. And that's it. He can not in any way communicate with unassigned people, explain strategies, order out specific tasks or request classes, set up routes or tell people to go defensive or offensive etc... basically everything a commander should do.
Why do I even bother to post this? I know the subject has been brought up before, but not enough times. People kept on whining about APMs, and they got nerfed in a patch. Please whine about this too !
