Voice volume and megaphone

[TokumeiSennin 34]

I think there should be option set volume of own voice, something like keep buttom and push arrow up/down. In real people can use quite or loud voice. Atm in game is thats all in X radius can hear you fine (farer -> quiter) but player would control that radius. If i want to talk with dude which is 2 meters from me then rest unkown players don't need hear it from 30 m. If i can set thats my voice will be hear for dude 2 meters away, then let say other dude could hear me froom 7 m but quiter but not all in permanent radius, same like is now (farer -> quister).

 

Second suggest is new item, megaphone (need battery). Megaphone increase radius of voice. Players complained thats atm range is too low. Magephone could work for 100-150 m (i guess its depends of settings, i never use it X_x).

People don't want risk enter to bulding, ask someone about friendly or to give up, etc, etc, sometimes its just too far. Of course more range of player voice by megaphone have risk hearing by unwelcome players.

I think is a very good idea.Also have some of the leftover ones in towns (maybe installed by the army to give out quarantine warning messages)

and use them to make an anouncment.Sound also will attract zombies.

Omg. Megaphones. If there will be choppers in this game, while you were having a teammate, you should be able to fly over someone, and use the megaphone, and tell them to drop their weapons x'D!!

It's funny you posted the idea of the megaphone.  I actually spoke to a friend about this also.  I thought it would be extremely useful before entering an airfield or other dangerous area.  For example, I'd like to be able to yell at the person on top of the tower at the airfield to put their arms up or something before I entered the structure.  This would let them know that I see them as a threat and am suspecting them of sniping.

Okay, i see only opinions about megaphone idea. Any thoughs about voice volume ?

I would say the megaphone is a good idea, but then again depends how good the item is or state. So in which, it could affect the volume of the megaphone. So a bad damage one can only do 10% output of its volume. While damage one can do about 25%, worn ones can do about 40% etc.

I actually have the necessary voice change ready to simulate a megaphone announcement. It's still "stupid" because it effectively uses the same VOIP range that is about 80m, while it should be more.

 

In short: I'm in favor of such items! Any medium range communication is nice. It could basically be like a walkie talkie or rather, a higher direct VOIP range. Only if you have / use the right item, that is.

 

For both direct chat and megaphone while we're at it: Make it so that when you have VOIP activated, no matter if local, walkie talkie or even megaphone, make it so that you can use the scroll wheel to dynamically set volume / range, too. It can be adjusted via percent or just three levels. Quiet, normal, loud for example.
