different gestures for radio calls

maiki · 05-09-2003, 03:23 PM

It'd be cool if there were different gestures for different radio calls instead of the generic "one hand raised" gesture now. Somebody yells "go, go, go" and he repeatedly thrusts his arm forward. Somebody calls out "medic" and he hunches over. "wait" and he pushes out his palm. Etc. Etc.

A middle finger gesture would be excellent for the idiots or TKers.

I just noticed the other day that you can hear enemy radio calls if you're close enough to the guy making them. Shows how observant I am that it took me so long to find that out.

Man that would actually be pretty cool, but I don't think it would add really anything to the game. Also I did not know that you could hear the enemies radio calls.

Sometimes I like to freak out enemy snipers when I manage to sneak behind them. I get close and say something on the radio and then kill the sniper. I've had it done a couple of times to me and it's pretty amusing

Hey, that's a pretty good idea. I think I'll try that. Maybe "Medic!", "Bail out!" or better yet "Artillery requesting a target" right before knifing him.

Happened to me... on Bocage recently.

Here I am, in a Tiger cruising up to the Yank base at the north end of the airfield for some fun in the sun spawn killing (we had all the spawns so time to beef up the score)....I blast a few planes, a few newbs, and then this dude comes charging up. A medic...he starts jumping around me screaming out "STOP" "DON'T SHOOT" "STOP" "DON'T SHOOT".....I was laughing so hard the M10 caught me napping...diversionary tactic??? Maybe...was funny as hell, though.
