I really hope Dice was kidding with the voices and code names we heard at E3. That will make myself and many other people not even buy the game. Is it a war game, or is it a joke ? I feel like shes kidding when the female leader tells them “Were losing object Apple” or “were gaining control or Objective Butter.” That is so stupid, sorry to say. It takes so much away from the gameplay and the feel of it. I dont know what the thought process was by giving them such stupid code names and I PRAY to god they are removed before launch. ---

Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. are from the NATO phonetic alphabet used since 1956. During WW1 (1914-18) these were genuine phonetics used.

So using the realistic phonetics is now a bad thing that will make people “not even buy the game”? Nope. I swear, people will complain about every little thing. ---

What worries me more is how many automatic weapons seem to be available. It looks like this game is going to play almost exactly like BF4, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing I was just hoping for a sloewer team based game ---

I’d hope we get to keep apples and butter. Sounds so much better than alpha and bravo. ---

The game will use setting-appropriate callouts, that’s fine. Players should continue to use NATO phonetic alphabet on the mic. There are good reasons why they chose the words they did.
