AI Voices..only need one command.Clean it up

[BeerHunter 0]

We only need ONE command for each action , not a plethora of funny sounding words pulled at random from an array.

ie Regroup: We only need to hear "REGROUP" , not "regroup" or "on me" or "fall back" (??) etc.

Open Fire: We only need to hear "OPEN FIRE" . Not "open fire" or "weapons free" etc. etc.

"Move to" could be a simple "move" or "go" , not "move...to...that..." then bush , tree , whatever. The player has indicate where he wants the AI to go so doesn't need to be reminded. The AI don't "listen" anyway. They simply go to a co-ordinates read by a mouse click and I doubt anyone listens to the command in MP either.

AI don't need to holler "go..I'm covering" over and over either. It's understood for the most part.

I know these voice phrases were included to enhance the atmosphere but they ended up have the reverse effect for the most part. They destroy it.

And if it's too late to do anything about it now for ArmA2 , PLEASE do something about it for OA..

there's already a mod that does this

Just because you don't like it means not others feel the same way. ;)

Of course the stupid repeating of "go i'll cover" 4 times in a row must be fixed, the sooner the better.

Hm, you could say that the other way around too: Just because he is the only one complaining doesn't mean he's the only one feeling this way. ;)

Personally I think the best voices had been in ofp. But those sounds belong to codemasters don't they? Do we only need one command for each action? Hm, I don't know... but I agree that voices need a major rework for OA

I don't think it a disputable subject that the voice acting is horrid and a lot of the chatter unnecessary. Personally I don't have an issue with multiple phrases for the same command though, redundancy can get boring.

Can't help it. I enjoy ArmA2 so much I find it irritating that such menial things as voices were so poorly implemented considering all the phenomenal work that went into the rest of the game..

Anyway ..it's like a fine whine..can only get better with age...:p

I thought a whine is like plain water... no matter if you keep it 1 day or 1 year... it's still water :p

But that's off topic. Just want to cheer things up :)

What mod would that be? Sounds intresting

i dont get the fall back unless retreating from a position, but the others i dont mind, its kind of different veriety.

the 'FALL BACK' is a retreat command. if we are all heading the same direction towards enemy we aint exactly falling back :P

Right, and how does the game know if you are retreating or not? ;)

good question, one i cant answer but it seems a daft command unless a new command was added 'retreat' to make the AI fall back quickly ;)

[johncage 30]

it's more realistic, so keep it.

i'm sure in the thick of battle, soldiers aren't going to care about conforming to one particular phrasing of a response or command.

[mr_centipede 31]

Maybe the character call out "FALL BACK" because the subordinates are actually in front of the commander, so the commander tell them to "FALL BACK and REGROUP"... never actually take notice though... but i dont really mind about the FALL BACK thing
