Megaphone - Increased VOIP Range

Recommended Posts

     Basically, I think it would be awesome if we could get a Megaphone added to the game. I feel that the VOIP Range is very limited, and I'd like to have a way to increase it. 

 

    A megaphone would spawn very commonly in construction sites, and commonly everywhere else. This could be useful if you were desperate, and trying to find someone to help you i.e Broken Leg

 

   Just today, actually, I tried to talk to someone who was too far away, and I couldn't, thus I came up with this idea. I don't really have much else to add to this, so I guess that is all.

Only if it took up your entire backpack, bullhorns would scare me shitless if they were commonly used.

   Lol, I could imagine that! I think it would take up something like 6 slots, as megaphones are freaking huge compared to the other crap you put in your backpack, and it would be awesome if we had echo on blowhorns, hehe...

I'd just laydown in an ATC at night waiting for a player to come in, then scream obscenities when they got close to scare them off.

    Speaking of scaring people with VOIP, this dude had this like radio talkshow thing on, and it was all like happy weather stuff, then dark scary music came on, and a very low voice started speaking "When you take your kids to the park... Make sure you check the colors of the helicopters... Black is probably a government agency and you should bring your kids back in right away. Blue, is probably the sheriffs office and you should go back inside until they leave a flower at your doorstep so you know it's safe. If the helicopters are white, it's probably a terrorist agency and you should run inside as fast as you can and take cover under a desk. And remember, Gatorade is basically soda, so give your kids plenty of water, and maybe some orange slices at playtime" And then I died..

(6) - slots sounds pretty decent for this type of item. +1 for the suggestion, i think it would be nice to have. Very useful as you said.

I took the time to write down Positive and Negative things about this type of item

 

Positive things about having a megaphone

 

  Uses:

- Guy/girl with broken leg looking for players

- Locating people in the game (forrests or big cities)

- Finding people you have lost (friends, teammates etc)

- playing Music when having a party

 

Negative things about megaphone

 

  Uses:

- Lots of people using them at the same time in a city

- Scaring people

- People playing Loud obnoxious music or sound effects while camping

- (Should attract allot of zombies) - if implemented

- Will get lots of attention from players and zombies (previously stated)
