Ingame voice

[Bridude 2]

Sorry if I'm missing a post on the subject but can someone please clarify if the in-game voice is broken? People on the server were saying it's not working.

That said what channel are you actually supposed to talk in (mainly for asking if someone is friendly)? I know talking in global makes players want to shoot you in the face.

Direct communication is the one you're looking for, but as you have heard it's broken.

Most likely it's a problem with Arma and not the mod so everyones waiting for a patch.

Talking in any channel other than Direct will annoy players because the whole map can hear you. Direct chat will be great when it works. It currently AFAIK works on and off. Works sometimes, doesn't work other times but only players in your immediate area can hear you then.

I'd love it if everybody talked in Direct because then as soon as I hear a voice I know that there is someone near.

What's annoying is that Global and Direct share the same colour, so I'd like all others but Direct removed because a.) nobody uses them anyway and b.) then I know there is someone nearby and it's not someone broadcasting over Global.

I think someone (not sure if Rocket) said, that once the Direct chat will be repaired, other channels will be removed.

I've been playing for about 4 days. The first 2 nights it worked fine then the last 2 nights it seemed to just stop working. I've been killed or killed several times based on confusion weather or not the guy I'm staring at is friendly. :(

Seems to work fine using the Arma 2 beta patch with the latest Dayz update, had great fun last in a 3v3 stand off at the south airfield using direct chat :P

It seems to work more often in the beta servers but for me it's still been 50/50
