Radio communication (Non gamebreaking version)

Recommended Posts

I think side chat should be replaced with a less game breaking more realistic alternative. I think radio's should be added in. They could be tuned into different channels so not everyone would hear what you say unless they tuned in to your channel. They would be uncommon but not exactly rare, making them slightly accessible and not a tool for making bandit raids easier.

Radio's could have something to do with broadcasting towers, perhaps there is a medium/large range on the radios unless you are near a broadcasting tower, and you can send/receive messages over a much larger distance. This would be good for organising groups, and you could radio for help if you got hurt. I think this would make people form groups of NICE people instead of bandit gangs, who will respond to distress calls, the likes of which are far to rare in Day Z (I can't say anything though, I am a bandit, although a lonely bandit so a radio would be nice)

If somebody is spamming the mic like they used to on side chat, you can tune out, or turn off the radio. Problem solved!
