Let Us Customize Commo Rose for Auto Chat

Sometimes I want to quickly chat using the commo rose (holding down Q then using the mouse to choose which dialog to say). But, I wish I could customize some of the words. For instance, "GO GO GO" doesn't really seem all that useful. The whistle sound effect when saying "GO GO GO" is nice, but I'd rather have it say something like "PTFO" or "Capture the Objectives".

If it were a few carefully selected dialogues for each of the current selections, it'll be easier to fine tune our individual game play styles.

  • Hi @SterlingARCH3R!

    That's not a bad idea at all, but the soldier's voiceovers serve the main purpose of entertainment and immersion, as the real communication appears on the chat window.

    However you can propose your idea for the future titles on the official reddit page or on the forums!

    Best Regards

    @IIDaZzuII I think @SterlingARCH3R is playing on console like me, and we don’t have a chat screen like PC does, we only have the preset comments from the commo rose wheel, like “Sorry”, “Thank you”, “Go,Go,Go”, and sometimes these don’t fit the purpose apart from if anybody is paying any attention to them.

    Going via the messaging system of the PlayStation is way to cumbersome, I don’t know for Xbox. But most of the console players also lack a keyboard, and composing messages via a controller is also a time consuming task.

    Some more options to communicate with players not in your squad would be useful. Like when the dreadnought Captain needs to be told to move the boat forward or turn it a bit so the rear gunner can also start shelling objectives.

    @RanzigeRidder2

    He mentioned the quick chat feature holding Q+mouse to send orders (which is only possible on pc), so it's probable he's playing on pc. However that's not the point. 

    I really understand the need for a better performing communication tool both on consoles and on pc (keyboard makes the work easier but you still have to pause from the game).

    The point  here is that the feature is not likely to be added in battlefield 1 and, to have the possibility to see it on future titles, it need to be discussed by devs and the rest of the community, which is not possible here on AHQ, since here we mainly care about technical issues and there are no devs whom can see this. 

    Regards

    @IIDaZzuII My bad, I did miss reading the Q+Mouse bit, which indeed indicates he's a PC player. But anyway, we do have the same feature on consoles to send these orders via the common rose, and for console it's the only way as we don't have the free chat window that PC players have. So from that perspective I extra support the idea from @SterlingARCH3R

    I agree that we probably won't see anything changing on this for BF1 anymore.

    Sounds a good idea, but that will probably not happen that we'll see that type of changes.
    At least not for BF1 anymore, cause it's already out for a while now and the team focus on BF2018 already.

    Hey everyone, this indeed does sound like a good idea, for both PC and especially console, where you might be in a voice chat with your party, but there's no text chat.

    I'll make sure to pass that on as feedback. Keep it coming!

    For the upcoming BF title it could might be a pretty cool change.
    But for BF1 i guess it's not coming anymore.
