I am sure this has been discussed and debated since this game started, so this is going to be real 'johnny come lately'
I wonder though, why the cross country communication is allowed. For example, a squad can continue to communicate via text even if they are playing on different countries.
People can private text eachother across different countries, and of course there is channel 200 where everyone can see it.
Doesn't seem a good idea to me. The only times I get private texted, like by 'oDALLASo' last night, is to talk smack or try to taunt. It also seems it would only promote this so called 'spying' action.
For those that just play for the furball or quick shootem up, this type of communication is probably just fine. For the guys who like to play the strategy and capture, you always wonder when or if misssions and whatnot are being ratted out.
Channel 200 seems fine to me, as everyone can see it. As far as the other though, strikes me as peculiar and open for subversive or devisive playstyle. If players wanted to communicate across country, why not just limit it to DA or TA, rather than the MA?
