KWilt 157 Posted July 12, 2012 (edited) Currently, dc'ing is not the same as not using direct chat. But, seeing as this is a discussion about the hypothetical sitution where forcing direct chat was enabled, then yes I would consider circumventing the direct chat lock to be just as exploitative as dc'ing or server hopping.You really didn't understand that? The original post you quoted said exactly what I just said.Yes. I do understand that. And, as I made pretty clear, it would probably be the stupidest accusation of cheating that could be conceived in this game.Let's just assume this goes in game. If rocket's going to be so asinine and come out, saying that your TeamSpeak and default mic have to be the same. How could he really enforce that?As it stands, though, I highly doubt this would be put into the game. I'm just voicing my opinion why I think it's a stupid idea. Your options are either have a mic on and let everybody in an 80m radius here very little sound in your room and/or house, or have no mic at all and we've solved nothing.

gingerwarlord 7 Posted July 12, 2012 As it stands, though, I highly doubt this would be put into the game.Agreed, I don't think this will likely be used, but I wish to boost it as much as possible.Your options are either have a mic on and let everybody in an 80m radius here very little sound in your room and/or house, or have no mic at all and we've solved nothing.People could have PTT mics, or other assortments. I understand that you dislike the idea profusely and that I probably cannot change your mind on the matter, but have you thought about the immersion it would bring seriously?To actually be worried that someone will hear you when you are stalking them would add so much more realism in my opinion. Needing to be quiet when talking to your friends so the strangers walking past won't hear you... does that not appeal at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Needing to be quiet when talking to your friends so the strangers walking past won't hear you... does that not appeal at all?Doesn't really appeal to me when I do have a lot of background noise in and near my house. Trains less than 150m down the road, lots of construction recently, plus the invasive person coming into my room left and right on occasion.So, it's either I kill my mic and completely lose all outward communication with my team, or pretty much go John Rambo on the enemies who I'm stalking, because they'll hear me anyways.This is why it's a PTT system now. Because not all of us have quiet homes. And I'd rather not be handicapped by things that aren't in my control. Edited July 13, 2012 by KWilt 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vinss 21 Posted July 13, 2012 Using third party communication is an exploit. Only foundable radios and direct comm should be used to make sense and immersion. But how to prevent this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
