Spectator Team Talk?

[shan]

So how does everyone feel on this subject...especially as it relates to team games?

As for me, on one side, I don't like it because I do not think it is that realisitc.

On the other hand, it is the best way to find those hiders that find a hole and move in.

What do you all think?

I'm totally against dead talking to live player. Ghost with ghost and alived with alived.
Ghost should be able to head alived, but not the oposite. Than way free ghosting should be always turned on.

Until someone codes something that allows dead to living talk and no dead to teamtalk I think it should be left on. I cant stand not being able to talk to the living while waiting. It pisses me off to the point I will leave the server.

What is needed is what I said above. That which allows you to only talk to everyone when dead, no teamtalking.

I thought there was an option to disabe dead players using teamsay.

 

[shan]

There is. I can set the server so that dead players can talk to everyone but not their team. That is how I am leaning towards configuring the server.

Crowze, I think you can only disable dead-to-living talk alltogether.


I, personally, only experience very few bad experiences with deathtalk/ghosting. Whenever it happened, the person ghosting was warned and usually stopped it right away.

As for dead players team talking... well I'm not in favor of it, but not against it either. Almost every time out of three I die, I die while typing a team message signaling tango movements or a spotted sniper or something like that. In that case, i usually finish my message and send it anyway. Also, warning other players of a continously spawn exit camper is as fair as camping the spawn exit IMO. That is especially true with spawn having a single exit.
