Radio (Walkie Talkie) with selectable channels

Recommended Posts

My vision for chat in this game is fully realistic. No text, have to use voice, default is direct (local area) voice, with the option of finding a usable radio in order to talk remotely with other people.

Even though I share your vision, I don't think it's a feature which should be add. There are a lot of players who don't have a working microphone/headset, or play the game with friends while using Teamspeak/Ventrilo/Mumble and don't use the ingame voice chat (like me).

Besides that; the voice chat is still bugged in ARMA2 so unless it's fixed first, I don't think it's a good idea to force it.

Adding radios, which can be used besides the text chat, is ofcourse a great idea and I hope the textchat can be modified to use it in a more appropriate way (no side chat, no global chat, direct com only without 20m, etc.)

This has been discussed a lot already but sure it would be nice. I don't see why text should be banned though, it would work just as well as voice, there is already a clear disadvantage with text and it's that you have to stop to type something.

There is already a suggestion regarding ACRE, I fully support it, but because not all players have mics it should be up to server admins to decide whether they wanna use it or not.
