It's always bothered me how you can dress up in a giant, weaponized exo-skeleton war suit bristling with power armor and heavy weapons, yet your voice will still be as squeaky and unimpressive as it normally is. (And I mean your character's voice, not your RL/Mic voice) The worst example of course being when you hear *Thud* *Thud* *Thud* as a giant, 1 tonne heavy NC MAX with giant shotguns for arms come stomping up the stairs; only to be followed by the annoying and squeamish girl voice of the underage NC child soldier from within, screaming out: "AI DINK AII BROOOK EEET!" It really ruins the sense of badassry and awesome that should surround a giant mech suit! Why can't our voices morph into something like this when inside a MAX suit? A metal filter alone may not make you a badass, but it should help to make you sound less like a pansy! (Not to mention it would make MAXes presence more known on the battlefield, make engineers know where their MAXes are, and the fact that simply modifying existing voices isn't that hard!)
same question on EC forums. my answer here is same as well; our microphones are of such ****** quality in general that this would just make the problem worse. plus, termies =/= maxes, maxes are like centurions for humans.
Personally, I prefer the Terminators' metal bucket filter from the first DoW; VA in the second one really sucked.
While I agree, I can't see why a normal person speaking into one radio is different from another. It'll also be pretty dang difficult to understand. But yeah, it'd be awesome.
It would be awesome, but what would be even more awesome is a client that doesn't crash while you're in a MAX suit.
Voice amplification and modulation could have been added to MAXes as an additional intimidation factor. A simple way to add it would just be to modify the quick comm stuff, but yeah they need to upgrade their in game voice before they put it on proximity chat. I wouldn't want it at all for squad, since why would you wanna DMX at your teammates?
Yes! Cool robot voice modifier for maxes. Also vehicles could use some chabge so it sounds line they are talking through radio. Btw dow1 voices are all better than those of dow2. -.-
Hey, it'd be great if radio static were added to character voices while inside vehicles. It'd go a long ways toward adding immersion to the game. Kind of silly how I sound just like I do out in the open while piloting a tank. *Pshk* Enemy gunship in the area! *Pshk* Metal bucket filters for MAX suits would also be pretty cool.
A kickass vocal filter, even MAX only, (I like the descriptive "metal bucket" monicker btw) is one of the few things I would pay real money for in PS2.
They really were. MAXes really are terminator-esque and I would love it if this could be a thing. I have a strict "I won't pay to play a game that I can't afford to sink money into on a regular basis" policy, but I would absolutely throw money at a feature that made MAX voices sound like them.
I always imagined MAX units to be the Planetside equivilent of Dreadnaughts. Not exactly a shortage of dieing soldiers, is there? Also works with what the VS would do. And yeah, a vocoder filter for these would be badass. Sort of what they did with HL2 Heck, just the "start mic noise, end mic noise" sounds would be a nice touch
Well, technically the Terminator designation is the shorthand nickname for "Tactical Dreadnaught armor," and was designed specifically for engagements in cramped areas like the corridors of a space hulk where you couldn't possibly fit a fully bulked-out dread. But, if we're comparing voice clips from the first Dawn of War (and its various expansions), I maintain the there's just something a little more menacing about the Terminator voices than the full Dreads. Menacing and awesome.
Quite frankly, I'd throw money at SOE just to have Grey Knight voices for the TR. STRIKE BROTHERS, FOR THE GLORY OF THE CHAPTER, AND THE INQUISITION!
