Hi yalls, First time poster, long time lurker. Anyhoo...
One thing I've been wanting to do is communicate directly to other people with simple, quick messages like "Behind you!" or "Got your back". What I'm proposing is a direct communication system to the person currently 'selected' in the HUD. Basically, it would allow a "order this bot" command to be bound to keys, to help communication. There would be a few things that go along with it.
First of all, when a message is sent to the other person, it would still be a team message, so everyone hears it, and it'll be in the regular format like "(ME_Guy) Person_Im_Talkin_to: Got your back". In addition to that, a very obvious text message across the middle bottom of the screen would say the same text so the reciever of the message knew it was for him/her.
I'd like to see several commands and voices to go along specifically for this, including:
"I've Got your back"
"I'm Behind you"
"I'm Going to your left" (and right)
"You got point"
"I'm going in"
"Cover me"
"Need ammo"
And of course, anything else of use. This way, efficient messages can be made simply. Lord knows how many times I've wanted to scream to the person next to me, "cover me" or "i'm behind you" or something like that. Typing it in takes to long, and things like Battletech don't work on my 28.8 connection. Opinions? Flames?
