Ok, you guys made your point.
Even changed mine a bit.
I slider to control range channel volume vs ingame sounds/squad channel would be a good thing.
But I still worry about where this community is going when people would rather turn them off. Than teach them, & show them the right way.
Ghost...
In reference to your last statement...
You can't teach an old dog new tricks bud.
The ones I hear on range vox who are carrying on like blithering fools, they are the ones who are griping about a stolen kill, a stolen SPAWN CAMPED kill!!! (GET REAL!!), they are the arm chair generals, they are the ones who just dont giveadam about who else may be sitting near you while you are flying at the time and feel they have the right to spout off obcenities left and right. These people I am talking about are not new. And very rarely are new. So dont, please dont try and tell me it is posible to tell some old "vet" who thinks he is incontrol of all of the air space within a 25 mile radius, that he needs to please be quiet and not clutter up range vox, or tune to a channel. Because you and I both know that is not going to happen.
I want to make this very clear. And I know that you cannot disagree with me. When I am in a fight, the last thing I want to hear is some (Pick your description) player yelling at another about the kill he thinks is his, or why everyone is not killing a little Napoleans town for him so he can let troops out. When in a fight, or a furball, there is absoluty no time to sit there and squelch the 4 or 5 or more people around you who feel that they need to clutter up range vox with every day coversation, with crap... And when you do sit there and try to squelch them you will probably be dead by the time you are done typing in your first .squelch game ID...
And lets be real hear bud. Range Vox is only a very small part of what makes up the "community" you are refering to. But at the same time it is an extreem anoyance to any and everyone who doesnt feel like listening to someone tell another person how there day was... How they feel about a stolen kill... How they feel about another player... Getting my point yet?
And this IS just a request for the OPTION of squelching range vox. OPTIOIN.... Option.... It would be another one of your voluntary things such as your beloved channel 200 which is far worse now than Ch1 EVER was.
One last thing I'd like to put my 2cents towards...
Range channel, however, is a necessary team-oriented channel.
No it is not. Not for everyone. I dont pay 15 bucks a month to "win" your wars. I pay to fight. I pay to have fun. The people I am winging with are in Direct contact with me at all times. Thats my fun. I will toss out check 6's to others... Other than that, I will not communicate with others. I dont feel there is a need to. I have my SA so they should have theirs. The Check 6's I give are gifts. Simple as that.
