demazi99 1 Posted June 13, 2012 Direct is for proximity. (100m for voice or text IDK, but it is only to those near you) and is bugged most of the time.Side is the 'global' chatnothing else matters. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sarlac 10 Posted June 13, 2012 Direct is the only one that matters and the range is 40m the next update requires the beta patch and all the other modes are disabled Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Disgraced 1123 Posted June 13, 2012 The chats point to the base game. You might use them to communicate to other guys on your team in vehicles, or people local to you on the map, or both sides in a two sided conflict. This wasn't a priority when the mod was originally made, but it became one with people connecting to servers and talking on one of several channels that could be heard server wide and caused lag when used.
