Overall take on NNG last night

I agree with Phragg and Ajax for the most part and would like to add that if you are not talking about game stuff during a fight, let someone who wants to call out enemy positions or other important info talk over you. IE stfu when someone is interjecting tactical info at the very least because I am unapologetic talking over and interrupting mindless chatter with important info for the platoon.

I know countless times I have been helped with info other people have given me in regards to enemy locations and I try and do the same in return. When there isnt much going on, the chatter IMO is a good thing(esp info on technical stuff) as it keeps people entertained just so long as it ceases and comms are used only for tactical when fighting.

 

I play here and there.

 

Are you guys still sitting in a channel with 40 people...?

Whisper system, especially since you seem to have a semi-concrete chain of command. BF2 Nailed it so fucking hard. VOIP in squad was one button, then the Squad Leader could press another button to talk to the CO. The CO could then open is little map thing and select a squad to talk to individually, or do an all squad call. This can be pretty closely replicated in Teamspeak, and could cut down on this problem a great deal.

 

We split squads into different channels when in serious ops. For casual playing or recruitment platoons,we have a channel we all will sit in

 

Yeah i reallllyyy wish they had made platoon chat only available to squad leaders in PS2...That would have made this game so much better. I really liked BF2142 where that was in play. I'd lead squads and talk to my CO and he would give orders, I'd relay them to the squad. When I was the CO (which frequently ended up being the case cuz no one else wanted it) i'd command the squad leaders and they'd relay orders. I'd tell the squad leaders to get their guys on target and they'd do it...

Something to suggest to sony I guess...

 

Couldn't of said it better myself.
