How are they gonna use the mic system? 5000 ppl 1 time? And with pc players to??? How can thry communicate?

CONQUEROR 45 · 16-08-2006, 01:09 AM

Proably with xbox mics you can only talk to people in your own group.

SeeJay · 16-08-2006, 03:47 AM

They will probably implement the talking area thing. Where they make it so a very small area can only hear you and you can hear those in your little area. Halo 2 tried something like that, but Huxley might implement it extremely. So that its a very small area that you can hear or talk.

Oh and yeah definitly the idea with the group. Your group will probably be able to do the talking and shit stuff.

xer011 · 16-08-2006, 04:32 AM

but how could a 360 guy talk to a pc guy??

Mjolnir · 16-08-2006, 05:22 AM

uh easy. if it's through the game, then a sound will play on the PC.

it's like using a telephone. you can talk from a Verison phone to a nokia phone. doesn't matter that they are different.

PC's have microphones too. and should there be ingame talk support, pcs can talk to 360's.

Planetside had voice chat in your group without any other software. same thing in Autoassault. I'll bet anything Huxley will have in game voice support that will be entirely self contained.

Elvyne · 16-08-2006, 04:03 PM

pc users probably will use ventrilo or teamspeak to chat. while 360 users will have to use a webzen created option

but that wud only bring the number of people down to 2500 ?

i agree with wat was said about people being near you being able to hear you if thats what you ment by talking areas ? . wud be good if snipers cud talk to everyone in the team so that you know if the enemy is sneaking up on you . You reckon there will be radar in the battlezones ? i hate radar ... makes the game alot less skillfull. but thats just my taste. I supose alot of people love radar. whats your views ?

Felix12g · 01-09-2006, 04:08 PM

You biggest team that you'd have to connect to would be 120 players at once in a battleground. Within that, it will probably be compartmentalized into squad, then platoon then outfit, the access will very probably be set by the platoon commander etc with options to be able to let your squad commanders communicate with others.

It would be a simple thing to have an open "listen" channel where all the players can hear the voices of the commanders, but not be able to transmit into that channel, what they would transmit into would be the squad or platoon channel, and the squad leaders would have to relay it up the chain if they actually wanted the top leaders to hear it. And I'm sure that the access and who can talk to the top can easily be changed around.

That's all hypothetical of course, but that's what I would do for a massive voice comm.

makavelli914 · 04-09-2006, 07:31 PM

It was cleared up a while ago that 360 players would NOT be able to play with PC players, in fact I think the 360 game is actually somewhat different then the PC game.

Detnation · 04-09-2006, 07:46 PM

yeah, I don't think either the pc or 360 are gonna be different other than how you play them. I mean really what would be the point of creating the same game but making them different also where can I see that they said that the pc and 360 players can't play together.?

Felix12g · 05-09-2006, 04:37 AM

They've said it in quite a few places now. Most of the articles that came out after E3 usually have a short point about this.

The point of making the same game very different on 2 platforms isn't unheard of, and will be happening here. Granted the graphics will be the same or better, the screens and the styles will be all the same, but how the gameplay works will be different. You don't keep a game the same for two totally different interfaces, you make 2 games with the same premise (Usually) and 2 gameplay styles that make the game fun and, this is usually what business shoot for, sell. If you have a fun playing game on a PC and port it to a console and they can't do shit, they won't sell and you just lost a major target market.

Detnation · 05-09-2006, 08:51 PM

well I mean yeah the key board is different to play with then a controller but there is a keyboard and mouse for the 360's so I mean they might not and to bad that they aren't letting the pc and 360 players play together.

UnsocialComa · 21-03-2007, 08:12 PM

Well im sure on another 360 mmo you could use a Keyboard to type and controler to actualy control, wouldnt that be easier?

Tulustan · 22-03-2007, 11:56 PM

in PSU beta/demo in your group you could voice chat but outside of your group you would type. This then like other mmo's would display a bubble ontop of your head and in a chat box of what you typed. It may be like that.

Untamed98 · 22-03-2007, 11:59 PM

Yea I have no problem as long as they have mic support and keyboard support so you can talk to your group and just type to others instead of trying to talk over hundreds of people.

Emelji · 27-03-2007, 02:44 AM

Hope we have a way to mute people!

Tulustan · 27-03-2007, 03:10 AM

There will always be a mute otption unless something somewhere goes horribly wrong

I agree with you being able to talk to smaller groups. However, maybe it should be made as in halo where you talk to those close to you, and while pressing a button you can talk to your whole group?

actually i disagree with that, this is a FPS not 3ps, and having chatbubbles popping up all over your screen will be VERY annoying, just like it is in PSU when everyone SPAM

Drowect · 07-06-2007, 04:35 PM

im sure it will either be in groups, instance zones, and whispers.
