Dead Man Talking
Please can I ask everyone here to resist the urge to use 'death knowledge' when playing the game. Specifically this means using VOIP to relay the position of an enemy that killed you.
In fact if you have a choice of more than one place to go maybe even try going to the opposite place (unless ordered otherwise) in order to prevent yourself wandering up to the place where you know the guy that killed you is hiding in order to get revenge. Fair enough if someone sees you die, and your fresh new spawn is told this info, then go get him!
Dead Men don't talk

Apparently, they don't wear plaid, either...

Re: Dead Man Talking
Right now we have "first person spectating" enabled for dead players. Another option is simply to fade to black until respawn, and this may help prevent dead men talking. Would this be an option of interest?

Re: Dead Man Talking
COD2 does this very well.
Long Live the 2nd BCT and 1st MIP

Re: Dead Man Talking
Good points, guys, but this isn't CSS or CoD2.
Again, would it help if we set the server to fade to black upon death?

Re: Dead Man Talking
With as short as the spawn timer currently is, I wouldn't see a problem with this until we can figure out a way to disable VoIP while dead. Originally Posted by Strag

That would be preferable to people cheating by using VOIP to give away enemy locations after they are dead. Originally Posted by Strag

The other night someone asked if I was in a certain position and firing. I replied yes it was me but that I had just died. Perhaps that was more info than I should have given him. I probably should not have answered but it was a spontaneous reply.We don't stop playing games because we grow old, we grow old because we stop playing games. Anon

Re: Dead Man Talking
Ahaha whoops. I thought VOIP cut out when you were dead. I'd be talking and then I'd get shot, so I'd go "ARGH" and then stop. Turns out I could have just kept going

Re: Dead Man Talking
I don't understand why Tripwire has allowed dead players to be heard by live players. For a game based in realism, it just doesn't make sense.

Re: Dead Man Talking
It may be a 'bug' not a feature.
It is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9/NIV
