Radio Communication

Here's a wild idea.

A new form of communication in game. I'll throw out the example

I am in game playing as Pearl harbor, and a few others are in as well. I have a head set on with a mic, and I want to tell Endurance something.

While Playing, I hit my Radio Comm hot key (R) to record a message via my mic, saying " Hey Endurance, attack orange col with me in 5 mins." I press hot key R again to stop recording. Perhaps put a limit of 10-15 seconds per recording. When done recording, perhaps a small window pops up either one of the top corners, or over the current "messages" part of the game screen.

I can select to send, delete, save, or rerecord my message. To send, I select Endurance from either a drop down menu, or by pressing pressing the ? hotkey, and double clicking his name. then select send message, and choose my message, possibly labeled as "Transmission 1"

When endurance receives the message, a box appears on his screen, in a good location, and he opens it and listens to my message. Perhaps he has the option to reply, save, or delete it.

There are a lot of variables with this idea. Everything could be Voice activated. Like press hotkey R, then say, "Record message", ** Record message **, then say "Send message, save message, delete message, or redo message", and so on and so forth.

I like it. Anyone abusing it can easily be reported and evidence readily available.

Exactly. Thats one of the great things about this idea. It would be a solid improvement to the game, that can very very easily be dealt with if people abuse. Lol abusers literally make their own case against themselves.

Depends if SW thinks we're ready for bf-x5 style chat yet or not. That'd be a lot easy to automatically censor than voice messages

I dont see it being any harder to gather evidence in text based chat systems either. It is still the same open messaging system that Sunny is so against. Not that Im hating your idea, Im just saying dont get your hopes up ;l
