Why people get so upset about this? I personally stopped caring about UT taunts since UT and always had it turned off ever since.
What's needed to remedy this, is an option similar to the Announcements options in the Audio settings which has Full, Minimal, and None. This way players that want it on like myself can do so and players like yourself that don't want to hear them can turn them off. Problem solved.
It's just a matter of personal preference, for me there's just too much dead air without it & I feel like I'm playing Quake, not UT.
Plus, there was some cool custom voicepacks for original UT with some great taunts like the Duke Nukem voice pack. Being on the wrong end of some of those taunts would really get your dander up.
But, it's tough to bring those in to UT3 now, & what would be the point if no one can hear them that wants to hear them.
