I just hate it when they sound like the South Park kids on the WoW episode.

for general voip regular players, just having them use a mic and speak up and contribute ideas, and intel on the situation with the squad is the first step, that and sticking together and holding down basic fire control. i.e. "ceasefire we don't want to be detected until we are at the objective.." type of orders.

Accurate voip comms, well i expect that from vets including unambigious terminology.

having fun with the tournament lads, it usually gets comms when we most need it, as most things happen without too much prompting. and i always expect Mongol to roleplay the insurgents... :P

I demand proper language and correct terminology.
I run my squads with iron-handed discipline and expect to be called "Sir".
I will henceforth be known as "Otto".
J/k
I am lazy when it comes to that and as long as you more or less follow orders and don't wander off I'm happy.

On VOIP it's mostly curt & to the point from me (I also clean up my accent from Jockinese to Armytalkinese).
On TS.... well, we try to keep it real but, well... you know.

Mr.Whitlow · 03-01-2007, 06:35 PM

I'll have to say that I'm usually pretty casual, but it depends on the situation. If I'm tired then I won't speak much and if I do it'll just be like "OK we got enemies to the south of Gov. office... Need help... Thanks..." But if it's on a weekend then I'll speak a lot more and will be more enthusiastic at least. I'm quite calm so I might come across as casual yeah. I hardly ever say "OH £$£% APC", infact... Don't think I've ever said that... It'll just be, "OK we got an APC incoming from the [direction], enemy that is."

I have to say though, I do prefer if people use decent military terminology. It's even better if they're American. I remember playing on Helmand Province (The US one against MEC) and we had a great squad, the squad leader whose name I can't recall and a guy called Pfc.Clark were both American and they sounded exactly like some guys out of Black Hawk Down, lol. It added a touch of realism, which is always good.

I don't really care tbh, as long as they speak. (Typing is fine)

Maistros · 03-01-2007, 06:38 PM

When I get an entire squad only using VOIP like a military radio, using correct terms and only using it to relay important information then that is the day I cry a flood of joy.

It's funny, to hear the reactions to you when you're speaking to the commander and always address him as sir.

"Squad 8 to Commander, Sir, be advised.. heavy hostile movements from direction Charlie Niner to Delta, Echo Eight Niner, I say again.. heavy hostile movement from Charlie Niner to Delta, Echo, Eight Niner.. OVER"

haha.

dunkellic · 03-01-2007, 06:40 PM

hm...depends but i would say i mostly sound rather "cool" (i.e. casual XD)

that doesnt mean that my squads are lifeless, i like to joke and stuff (topcat can pove that

)but i never get hot blooded and yell in my microphone

RGG:Dale · 03-01-2007, 06:48 PM

the most urgent i get is saying "over" at the end of a sentence, but i guess i could call it force of habit

im trying to stop because it must be annoying for the people who dont know what it means
me"a10 incoming over "
some random dude"yep hes just about over us nnnnnnow"

Have you guys run into the guys that sound like this though? It's kind of like a "gay accent", except with this "I don't care" feeling played up way too much. It just pisses me off so much... I can't figure out why.

Hahaha, that's one of the funniest SP episodes.
