odd thing about PC games is that it seems to me that many games players dont use voice, not sure why.. if compared to xbox live at least anyways..
A speech/orders wheel could be interesting for close range players ie target a player, press i dunno v or something, up pops a orders/speech wheel (with things like, come over here, I need help, can you carry, return to base/rover, I need o2 etc etc) the targeted player gets a nasa sounding sample of an order/speech with the static distortion and the obligitory 'bleep' ant the end.
That is a greate idea!
Hyper - if VOIP is impossible to add to MCO than what about using pre-recorded messages?
Then - if I need something I don't have to type it every time.
Several games uses them.
Prerecorded voice messages could be separated into categories:
Navigation
Statemants
Requests
Misc.
