Just a thought, but the game should have the ability to use mics and tech and stuff to allow us to :

bellow into our mics and taunt the enemy and have it heard

eg

Do not fail your Brothers. Though their bodies die, their spirit must return to the Chapter. That is your charge.

i know lazy first pick from the wiki

and the xenos scum should be allowed to bellow back. its prob a real minefield tech wise, but imagine how it would add to the chaos of the battle field if you can actually hear your enemy taunting you, and revving themselves up, and you could taunt them back

edit : for IG imagine the chatter along the trench as a xeno wave was approaching. would add weight to their "militarily realistic" schtick, as the sgts keeps the line troops chatter down, listening for info etc

Welcome to Dakka!

You should consider posting your idea here if you plan on it being seen.

Click on the color!

While I like the idea in concept, it would probably be abused by kiddies 90% of the time, instead of people actually using the feature for its intended purpose

Implying that only the 'kiddies' act like tools in online gaming?

It is far more common to hear adults behaving like immature children.

I don't think the time spent doing this will add any real benefit to the game and may just take development time away from core aspects of the game to enable this voice chat.

The people who will use voice chat will use the programs they already use in currently existing games. (Vent/Mumble)

In such a generalized channel where you can hear everyone's chat (friendly and hostile) instead of your own will lead to teammates being unable to send/receive coherent messages and thus be forced to abandon the game chat in favor of 3rd party chat programs anyway.

Worst idea ever. Seriously, it doesn't work. I know enough "yo mama" jokes already.

they can just implement a taunt button like in lol and ad some Purchasable taunts in the shop and everything is fine^^

If there end up being computer characters in the game I think that controlling them by voice command would be incredibly cool. There was a RTS game that did this a few years ago but it wasn't such a success because it relied on the feature way to much, so much that the actual gameplay was pretty much 5 games of "rock paper scissors" being played at the same time on different parts of the map.

From what I've seen though the actual voice commands worked reasonably well, you just couldn't do anything with them you couldn't do more precisely (not necessarily faster or easier when you take map scroll speed) using a mouse and keyboard.

They're pretty much already doing that, in fact. You can perform "execution" animations on downed foes, which are basically taunts. And I recall Miguel saying that additional executions would be purchasable.

Hah, nope. I'll stick to skype, ventrilo, teamspeak and mumble thank you very much. VOIP is ALWAYS terrible quality, often a hassle to turn off and it doesn't add anything except for immature behaviour and immersion destruction.

Nothing like hearing a space marine with a 12 year olds vocal chords.
