my idea: new starting tool (radio-receiver) which will give you the ability to listen to the global channel (text only, cause voice mostly used for annoying someone :/ ) new tool as often findable as a map - the radio-transmitter - for the ability to write into the global channel in that way pple, who finds the global chat annoyingly, can deactivate it by simply dropping the starttool and the ones who wanna get some survivor (to kill them or to join into their own grp) can contact them simply. communication over long range was ever a shoutlike communication which everyone can receive, the channelbased communication should then be availiable without any protection, cause that would goin too straight into military use... the direct communication should then be changed to different say modes (as said by someone) whisper, say and shout *push* Why i think its useful? Im lonely! :/ no, seriously, we are 4 guys at the moment who sneak around and we act thery aggresive, and dont let someone get to us near than 400 metres (exept someone with vehicles if they really insist :D ) that makes direct communication unavailiable for us to get new ones in our lines :/ surviving is no problem, hold bandits away from us either, but thats a lonely way to go.... without any changes in communication ways
