Yes, there is always people trying to fuzzy bunny up the fun of their team mates... as for example abusing of this tactical message.

All the frakking game listening that: Enemy Sighted. Even whilst we were watching the stats and waiting for the next row of games. And we had not way to stop that.

Devs, please, solve this annoying issue somehow.

I think there are odd occurrences in a game where the match ends while there is still a Radar Item on the field. I happen to have this on my Sharpshooter, and if the match ends while it is active, with an enemy within range of being detected it will continue to use the "Enemy Sighted" voice command until the map/objects are despawned.

It could get really annoying when you have more than one of them active in the field. Unless you mean regular players doing this, I haven't really tried or seen a way someone can continue to use it when a match ends.

Whatever is the reason for this to happen, listening this or any other voice message for ever is pretty annoying. To not say it breaks immersion as well.

Would not be bad idea to take this into consideration in further builds of the game.

BTW; I'm one of those pilots wanting taunts in the game. The same solution the devs could figure out in order to counter this could work Vs. pilots abusing of taunts in the future.

@TheAriDee: Yeah, in between maps (ty, Gestankfaust).

That made my day.

On topic, I don't really notice the enemy sighted spam. It just keeps me on my toes...then again I'm one of those guys who does that occasionally.

Think of it as a motivator! :D

This seems to be problem with many sounds, something about ending the game while it's playing causes it to repeat until a new game starts or you leave the match.

I haven't noticed much message spamming, really. Though I like to make efficient use of spotting and requesting aid.

I don't mind the message in game. It helps me pay attention and alerts me to danger. However, whatever is causing it to repeat over and over in the lobby after a match is completed should be fixed.

I've not heard that message repeating over and over... so we can assume that moronic users are the cuase of that. (that is .. not a bug).


You may check these links on tactical alerts and on improving team feedback as well:

*for some reason The forum does not allow me to post these links. Proceed with an adv. search if you wish.. *sigh*...

On Tactical markers   -   Request on team ...

P.S. Taunts would be much appreciated too.

I have heard the message get repeated after the match ends.  I do think it has to do with the radar turret (or whatever it's called).  I had deployed one right before that match ended.  I like that it plays the audio while the match is underway.  I kinda thought the audio after the end of the match was a spoof of that car commercial with the guy pretending to be a GPS says "recalculating" after the driver destroyed the car.  :lol:
