Because always some people can't or want not to use the mic the chat should be accentuated. So let the player messages at the same place and put the system messages (research complete, barracks under attack ...) to another place on the screen. And maybe the system messages should stay a little bit longer. This may fill up the hud even more, but I think it is worth this. And just to remember a previous idea: There should be a key to write only to the commander.
like the first one but i dont think a write only to commander key would actually be that useful. Something that emboldens or highlights the text in some way for the commander only would be useful. You dont need to secretly talk to the commander, just grab his attention a little more.
This is especially anoying for target spam as com. someone speaks and then you get 50 messages saying 1 targets destroyed, 5 remaining before you can read it.
All they simply need to do is make the ability to enable.disable the various chat channels i.e. All Chat : Enable/Disable Team Chat: Enable/Disable Squad Chat: Enable/Disable Commander Chat: Enable/Disable Battle Reports: Enable/Disable Defence Reports: Enable/Disable Support Reports: Enable/Disable If your asking why enable/disable some of the channels above well you never know why someone would want to but the option to have them would still be nice: All chat/Team/Commander chat are what they are. The squad chat menu is for when the squad leaders gives you orders and it repeats the order in chat. Battle Reports are things like artillery request and enemy spotted. Defence Reports are when something is getting attacked like barracks or com. Support Reports are requests for ammo or health. BTW these only enable/disable the messages that come up in chat, the voice reports and icons on mini map and over players head does not get removes just the chat spam. Well? -Jayson
Adding it for normal players as well as com would be nice as well hard to see whats going on if someone keeps spaming with battle reports. -Jayson
