Who thinks the marine voice chat sounds too calm?

<div class="IPBDescription">Mediocre voice acting....</div>There are plenty of other posts about balancing issues and lags so I thought I'd tackle some thing thats not as serious. Anyway, personally I think instead saying things like "I need ammo here" or "I need a med-pack", they should be yelling "I NEED AMMO! I NEED AMMO!" or "MED-PACK ######! MED-PACK!" while breathing heavily. I think that will help the mood of the game a lot... What do you think?  <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    i dunno, but the marines look pretty fiece eh, with dirty fingernails and their facial expressions. It doesnt seems like they would yell out like a freaked out kid who saw a boogie man hehe especially if yer winning, like really killing the aliens. But i think that is a interesting idea never the less.

    These are marines not some ######### from a shopping mall stuck in a haunted house. Marines don't panic

    Any soldier's voice would show a little stress if he knew that the enemy was sneaking around nearby.  Double that if the enemy has really big teeth.  Being a marine doesn't make someone a robot.  

    But I'd think that new voices are very unlikely at this point.  If people feel really strongly about this they can always make a set of replacement voices themselves.

    Actually, I think the voice acting is excellent.  

    "Uh yeah, sir, I need some ammo.  Maybe a med kit.  Nothing too important.  Anytime really.  Nothing but a couple rhino's trying to eat my hide.  I'm just gonna walk over to that chair and sit and wait so no hurries sir.  Oh look I'm about to die.  Well ain't that sumthin.  <yawn>"

    the guy who did "Lets move out" sounds like he drank too many of a beer.

    Most Commanders are stressed out enough with everyone yelling at them, much less having the voice actors yell at them, too.

    Still, I haven't figured out why most "Space Marines" in computer games are apparently from either from Oklahoma or Texas.  NS doesn't seem immune to this, either.

    I've been doubly impressed with the hive voice.  Just listen to the urgency when it grunts out, <i>"Your hive is under attack!"</i>

    all of the voice acting in this game come from <b>professional voice actors</b>.

    These are people Flayra actually paid, or are doing as a favor for him.

    The voice acting sounds the way Flayra wants it to sound, and thats good enough from me.

    Besides, who doesn't love "My shrink says I need an outlet for my aggression ..."
