I'm not sure, the name of the OPFOR Special Forces sounds Spanish to me, but they use Russian equipment. But then again its a fictional island crazy_o.gif

A little about Sahrani history

Sahrani is too small island to have two counrties with two different languages.

I'm not quite sure I got the jist of it, does that mean it was a former British Colony?

After reading some of the billboards around NS I think they (well, the North Sahranians at least) do speak Spanish.

Spanish-speaking Communists using 100% Russian equipment is not that far-fetched though when you think about it.

They speak english to confuse the western enemy.

" Hey! who said that? Was it us or was it them?" crazy_o.gif .

If you find secret documents they are likely to be written in spanish.

Yeah, take the Spanish Civil War 1936 as a example of Spanish Communists. I agree though, they all speak in English to confuse us crazy_o.gif

They speak Spanish. Take a look at the "Death to the traitors" (in Spanish) signs found all over North Sahrani wink_o.gif

To be honest half of the wolrd use AK's, RPGs, etc. Because they are reliable weapons.

That doesn't make half the world Russian Federation, does it?

I already added it to the ArAs tounge2.gif wishlist some months ago as I think it would add a lot of atmosphere if you face enemies in close combat that give orders and reports in a language that is different to your own coms.

Like FDF did? Unfortunetly i dont think BIS will go that far.. but i agree. This thread reminds me of the old discussions about the OPF ruskies having russian language instead of english or the crappy RH accented voices.

I remember ECP had this aswell... I believe it was version 1.085

I really made the atmosphere cooler... when you threw a grenade towards the russians the screamed out "NJET" or "GRANATA".

This was brilliant, I loved it. smile_o.gif

Imo you can't define a Army based on the equipment it uses, for instance the British Army use the SA80 which is a french designed rifle.

I think as mentioned earlier this answers all the questions I wanted to know smile_o.gif

People are just saying that the SLA and RACS should have their own voice files (spanish) instead of the english comands, ala FDF mod.

In Arma we can hear the oposing a.i. soldiers shouting the comands and its weird to hear them in english.

Like.. if someone makes a german mod it would be great to have the voice comands in german too smile_o.gif .

Why not ? They got little to loose implementing something that will actually make sense and add atmosphere to the game. Besides that I´m pretty sure that the com could help out with voice acting /recording incase they are afraid of the costs. The voiceacting in Arma is "not-that-topnotch" anyway. Maybe a reworked and extended voice-com system could be contributing to ArAs getting even more attractive. It´s like the commandos you hear over headset and from the speaking unit ingame. They both sound identical and it really sounds funny if you are close to the guy issuing orders with the little radioclick delay echoing.

I guess in aspects of sound ArAs has indeed some nice features but the radio com system and live units speaking could need a little bit extra work.

Right now it´s like ArAs tounge2.gif is halfway there, but it would actually take not very much to bring it to a really good level of voicecoms and hearable conversations.

Things to be fixed, extended:

- Different languageset for one side

- Either alter radiocoms "on-the-fly" with a little distortion effect

or edit the existing ones to have different sets for live - talk

and radio coms

- Rework some of the existing sounds as they do sound very

botched at times and do not sound very homogenic.

(Sometimes it sounds like sentences were recorded, simply cut

apart and are used like "bricks" to form messages. If you want

to do such you have to take care that the ssounds are

homogenic without too much enthusiasm in the voice as it

simply sounds like cut/copy/paste right now at times.)

If there is some effort put into these segments the result could be very much better as what we have today.

For Game 2 I hope they switch to a computer based live speech engine that generates messages on the fly with no prerecorded samples.
