+2. And I’m sure they’ll do that, a menu option to turn off a feature is easy.
I don’t mind the voice. I do want to hear something to let me know the state of objectives, and it has to be heard clearly over the other sounds in the game, not blend in.
It is purely game interface information, not ambient sound (no one actually on the map hears it).
Could there be multiple choices for the voice of the announcer? Perhaps, but remember that voices have to be localized in many languages.
To this day I still play Battlefield and WISH that DICE had included an option to disable the Commander radio chatter when he’s spotting enemies - it gets spammed incessantly and repeatedly OVER AND OVER and it’s blaring in my ear just as loud as the rest of my game volume is. So I see where people that really dislike the voice are coming from.
Agreed. It doesn’t fit in at all with the theme that the game is based around. The call out names are cringeworthy too (apples, butter, etc). I’m not sure if there is a historical significance to those or not. If not, I hope they change it b4 release lol.
Yes very annoying , takes away all immersion in my opinion… Wouldn’t mind a woman voice at all! but this one looks so futuristic… Battlefield 1 looks so good, just the voice man… the voice..
I actually didn’t find this annoying at all. And I always play the beta with my headphones. It never came to my attention that this was annoying. To me it just sounds normal. It’s interesting to see how so many people don’t like it. Its totally fine to me. In that case maybe they should just create an option to silence the announcer rather than simple take it away. That was people who like and dislike it can still benefit from the game without taking one feature from another.
