-Dead players can now talk to their teammates in both casual and tourny mode (needed to prevent team from getting an advantage by using external voice program in CAL)

So it means, that if i am dead, all players who are alive can see my messages which i send....right?

Several times i have sended some messages, when iam dead, but nobody ever respond. For example:

iam dead: I say marines are coming towards to a hive......nothing happens
i respawn and say that same thing, i get responded immediately

    Well in one game when marines has whiped out all hives and there was one gorge in vent surrounded by def chambers. All of our team members where shouting that kill yourself so we can start a new round. He didn't answered.

    And here is another example:
    Once aliens took out whole marine base at start. One marine has left ramboing around the map, before those skulks camed. He started to shout "i need ammo", "medpacks" while he didn't know that we were already lost. We tryed to tell him that, but he kept asking those things for commander.

    i know you can see text right after people die if you type all messeges. because if you kill someone (in 104) and after they die they say "dang" in say all people see it, and i know talking works. i think it only works while your body is on the level. after five seconds or so the bodies disappear, and while your body is on the ground i think you cna send meesges.

    that seems a lot better than always being seen when dead.

    I think it has to do with whether or not the team has respawn capability.

    As in, I can still (seemingly) talk to people when I'm dead, but only if there's a hive/inf. portal somewhere. If there is no way to respawn, the living are deaf.

    Since 1.04, I've never had a problem talking to living teammates, nor having dead ones talk to me when our base was dead... note though; talking. Voicecomm. Typing seems to be a little hit-or-miss, but I sat and had a conversation with my dead team for about five minutes while the Aliens were taking out all our forward bases (I was just crouched in a dark corner on Eclipse). They thought it was hilarious, having the entire Alien team go charging past me, less than a footstep away, and not notice. At least, until someone got Scent of Fear... should have asked the Comm to drop me a few healthpacks before he got taken out. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Is it possible that it's differentiating between "Dead" and "Reinforcing"?

    Also, does it apply to text chat or just voice chat?

    its the voice communation they are talking about

    it used to be that dead people could hear other dead people on the other team

    1.04 fixes it to where you can only talk/listen to your team, alive or dead

    Well, I haven't noticed this...one time I was marine and got all the way across the map when our whole base was taken by skulks. I was talking to my dead teammates over voicecomm and they cheered me on as I knifed the gorge and 2 skulks and shot down another three <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->. Then the aliens got me while i was knifing the hive <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->.

    type-talking works fine in teamchat and regular, methinks.. haven't tested voice-comm (hard when you have a frog in your throat)

    OK.
    I thought it would also mean those chat messages <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    -Dead players can now talk to their teammates in both casual and tourny mode
    (needed to prevent team from getting an advantage by using external voice program in CAL)

    The way i understanded this is that those players gets advantage who uses mic than those who write messages and it would now be balanced between mic and chat messages...

    Sorry about this topic ......my english isn't very good <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->
