I have been a long time Hawken player since the start of Open Beta.  I don't think marking the enemy, and calling for help is enough communication.

I have recently been playing a game called Chivalry.  They have two communication buttons with several preset things your character can say and some of these buttons have different versions.  And it makes the game fun, funny, and builds a sense of comraderie amongst the players.

yes
no
help
incoming
they're behind us
taunt
guard me
follow me
forward
bloodthirsty yell
laugh

and so on.  I think Hawken could benefit from some voice acted comms system.
Sharpshooter lvl 25, Berserker lvl 25, Scout lvl 25, Bruiser lvl 25, CRT lvl 25, Brawler lvl 25, Infiltrator lvl 25, Reaper lvl 25, Rocketeer lvl 25, Raider lvl 25, Technician lvl 25, Grenadier lvl 25, Assault lvl 25

Good luck and have fun see you on the Battlefields!

Oh you and your mini-nukes, rope.


Anyways: I, too, have been feeling that Hawken has been lacking a feature like this for a while. Sometimes people don't want to connect a microphone and speak through it. That's where voice file features like this come in handy.

There should at least be "Bring backup" and "Heal me" support callouts, instead of just the general "help requested" one there is now. But more than that would be even better.

I always liked the voice menu in UT. You had various taunts, orders, and confirmations that were accessed by hitting the voice menu button, the category number, and the command number. Hawken would really benefit from this for those players without mics.

MELIKE.

I feel like most players just completely disregard the voice though. I have hardly ever had someone help me after pressing "z" (the "help requested" key).

Maybe these call-outs should pop up on the screen like it does when you put something in chat.

Mr_UnKNoWn: Help requested.

^^ like that, as well as have the voice say it.

When they bring back the map it would be most useful for organization and commanding players.
