find a Radio, use Side/Global chat

[antimab 5]

Hi,

My idea is to implement a radio (there is already one in ARMA 2)

If you found one you can see and hear global/side chat and youa re able to communicate.

But if you got no one you will not be able to see and hear the gc/sc and (obvious) cant use it ...

The reason why i think this is a good idea is because i like the side chat, its a great chance to trick people in a ambush or meet with them to help each other, but its total metagaming if we just talk over the whole world with some kind of godlike voice ...

I also noticed that with no gc/sc the game loses a bit of its flair ...and becomes more deathmatchy (i know this word doesn`t exist xD )

Hope you like it.

Discuss!

I like the idea of the side channel being disabled as it is.

I am not 100% but I have seen people saying you can get radios in DayZ from military Zombies and was thinking the other day that this might in fact be the reason for them being added to the mod. I think this is a good idea and hope it is why they have been added, if they can be found already and wasn't just some kid hacking them in.

Im all for your idea. And so does Rocket, perhaps with some tweaks. He mentioned it in the stream he did on twitch with PCGAMER

Jep, this idea is old and already planned for the future. Still... it will take a long time for it to be implemented, so I want my side chat back. :(

It would be cool if you could have a Ham Radio at your camp that is connected to 4 walkies... but that would probably won't happen.

Suggested this nearly 2 months ago, same basic idea.
