This is intended for those without mic's.

How many times have you found yourselves in a firefight because the other person cant see your friendly? on the side.

I propose that the DayZ modification adds a program that reads basic chat eg: friendly? makes your character ingame say: are you Friendly. or if you type it without the question mark your ingame character says: I'm friendly.

It would help those with mic issues or don't have mic's and may stop murders because the killer didn't hear the response as i have read many stories of people killing because of no response and then they see the video they made and see sidechat full of: friendly dahmit don't shoot.

+1. I think that would be a nice idea, or maybe even hotkey. But then I'd be worried about people running around and spamming it like the horns in Halo and Battlefield games. That would be enough to drive ME to shoot them, anyway, and I'm usually the kind of guy who'll hand a noob my hatchet if I have a gun.

your a nice man but my idea would still help +whiskey

On the one hand, it'd be handy to have some voice commands not unlike in Team Fortress 2 or many other multiplayer FPS titles; push a button, and you have a list of inputs. Like Z-1 would be "Hello", Z->2 would be "I'm friendly", and so-on.

On the other hand... it would probably be a bad idea for the intended atmosphere of the game.

ohh cmon it'd help but only the basics like 5-6 different ones
