Shout & talk channels

[k120 42]

In my opinion we should be able to talk to other survivors without everyone in the town hearing you.

 

Therefore i suggest to have current direct channel (50m range?) as "shout" and create another called "talk" with range of about 10 meters.

 

Realism,right?

I'd rather just have the fade out over distance effect of direct comms ramped up, so that you do actually have to talk more loudly if you want someone further away to hear you.

This would lead to the following problem:

 

>Step into 50 m radius

>Hear people loud and clearly

>Step one meter back

>Silence

 

So the fade is actually the best solution. The real problem is, that nearly everybody has a crappy mic.

That would be awesome! I hope something like that is technically possible.

Seriously? You could simply make the shout sound fade from 100meter min to 0meter max volume. And the talk from 10meter min to 0meter max. No problem if you think about any problem.
