[Feature/Request] Separate Chat and Kills.

[Qwaseman2]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before.

I've been noticing some things ever since I've started playing, that, it's hard to chat most of the time.

Now, I've thought of 2 ways of solving this:

Voice Chat

Pros:

People will be able to keep playing while talking and not have to spend there time typing.

Able to easily warn your team mates of a camper or flag holder etc.

Can just hold down a button to talk to team, and hold down a button to talk to all.


Cons:

Mic Spammers. (Kids, n00bs, ragers.)

That's all I could truly think of.


Then we can be able to have:

Separate Chat and Kills as mentioned in the title.
Kind of like in Source games, have the kills in the upper right corner with a symbol indicating what gun or what type of death. Then in the lower left would be the chat.

Pros:

Easily see what people are saying without having to open the console if a lot of kills are registering into the console and chat.

Cons:

Take up some room on screen possibly.


That's all I could think of.

Its a nice idea, the only thing we could do is separate the chat and kills, make the reso. bigger

That's gonna be a lot of people voice chatting (especially on populated speed servers)

I think it is good but it would be very costly to server creators as they would have to pay extra 20$ for voice conversations in-game..

For a dead game, that much extra bandwidth is not $20.

Well, we could have it to where you don't have to have voice chat on your server, but if you do you can have it...


And players can have an option to turn off voice chat or silence other players so they can't here them.

I think there's another thread about this, but I don't have time to look it up right now.
