German voices?
« on: March 12, 2011, 09:43:16 AM »
Just a suggestion. Anyone else think it would be cool to have the Ostheer use the German language voices? (Like how the Soviets have the Russian language voices.)

Would set them apart from WE/PE and would make Ost vs USSR games incredibly more authentic.

Thank You.

It would be cool but given all the Relic factions speak accented English it would arguably give an advantage to people playing those factions because they can get audio cues from their units they can fully understand (not counting German and Russian speakers).

Although I have noticed that after playing some EF, Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2 I'm starting to get a basic, associative understanding of the Russian phrases so maybe it's a moot point.

P.S.
Can someone who speaks Russian tell me what the phrase that sounds like "enemy stojna" means. I've been hearing it since MW2 but still got no idea ^_^

Probably yes... but for me it doesn't matter, because i installed a patch which causes that my Germans (WH and PE) are speaking German and my USA and CW are speaking english.

AFAIK, Ostheer will use german voices.

Own voices would take too long to make it into any initial release. We may do English German accented voices in the future, but currently as priorities go it's down there with adding in explosive dogs (although granted it's not as retarded)

Why is that? Is it because of lack of voiceactors or just getting it done XD I know a lot of people (Myself for exampel) would love to do some voiceacting for the game :D

I bet you have your own pocket audio-recording studio with you  ;D

You don't need a audio-recording studio to do good voice acting, Just a decent microphone that you can plug into your computer - I have even heard ppl with singstar microphones doing decent voice acting.

Then I don't really get, what's so hard in doing some proper soviet sound, instead of retarded US copy from russian localization, granted what you say is true.  ???

I don't see why not. I mean, I have a basic microphone, if that is enough, I can do this, provided some guidance, since I know next to nothing about recording whatever.
