Shazbot!
This just gave me a flash back to back when I used to play Starseige Tribes.
The chat system included quick key commands for a ton of useful voice callouts.
The quick keys and audio sampling made them a lot more fun to use and harder to miss than manually typed messages. As a result, it was much less common to see typed messages popup during regular gameplay.
Looks like they still use the chat system in the latest iteration of the series. http://www.tribesascendwiki.com/Voice_Game_System http://www.tribesascendwiki.com/Voice_Game_System
- blakeyrat 11y agoThe company who now owns Tribes is Hi-Rez, and they've also implemented this system in SMITE, A MOBA. (MOBAs are legendarily hostile environment.) Of course, they didn't disable normal text chat, so the game's still full of jerks. I think it does help though.
