Post subject: Crysis 3 Multiplayer Chat Indicator  Posted: 08 30, 2012 /08:18 |

One thing missing from Crysis 2 was a chat indicator while in the game. This was present in the lobbies, but not during the game.
We couldn't tell who was speaking on the mic unless we already recognized their voice. It's nice when a little list pops up of names that are inputting sounds, so we know who is talking at all times.

Yeah, Mass Effect 3 also sucked hard because you couldn't know who was talking and you didn't even have a chat option! Is it really so hard to implement? How are you meant to have a social team experience if you can't communicate with your teammates properly?

Not to mention text chat shouldn't delay for so long before appearing on the screen like it did in Crysis 2

Good suggestion, i'll pass this on, thanks!
EDIT: To clarify, there was definitely no VOIP activity icon in the scoreboard next to the user's name in C2?

The chat in C2 was beyond horrible. Missing letters, delay, transparency... I really hope they redesign it in C3 Quote: EDIT: To clarify, there was definitely no VOIP activity icon in the scoreboard next to the user's name in C2? I think there was an icon that was displayed next to the user when he was using the VOIP. It was only visible on the scoreboard

Yeah, I agree.
Also Speaking of chat, the text chat wasn't very good in-game in Crysis 2 either as TSAndrey said; there was a delay before you saw what you typed, sometimes you wondered if it even registered what you entered in and if you missed what someone said you couldn't look back at it. It was sometimes hard to read too, the text was pretty small and that transparent box behind it like TS mentioned made it hard too.
I hope they redesign it too with a social community in mind; quick response time, chat history, text size and text box transparency options would be great.

I agree, could you please remove the delay before the chat appears when typing during a match? And also remove the delay on the killfeed before your kill shows up, so players can see immediately when a teammate or enemy gets taken out.

It would also be good to have a squad chat.. like when you invite others to a squad and maybe you havent joined a server yet it would be nice to have a chat box for that

The friend list also needs a redesign! It was also horrible
