Hopefully if she’s here to stay, there’s a option between Female and Male announcer. This is one thing I liked about BFBC2 that still reigns supreme is the announcer was fitting and soldier classes has had their own unique voice overs so you could tell them apart.
Bf3/4 has fitting announcers but lost out on soldier voices. Most of the time is sounds like its just having the same dude saying it regardless of class.
What I want is a 40+ year old gruff man from the respective side you’re on (so a dude with a German or Italian accent) destroying their lung sacks yelling at you to get your butt into the battlefield
I want to know what were they thinking on choosing that as the announcer. The only way it could be less immersive is they had kept to a modern phonetic alphabet. If there is no option to turn that off then it will seriously undermine my enjoyment and experience playing the game.
They’re probably going to change it.
however i hope they don’t change the objective names (Apples, Butter, Charlie, Duff etc..)
it suits the game way more than the modern ones.
You can’t know that. A lot of people are voicing their dislike of the announcer for the first time, since this has been the first we’ve seen of the gameplay. There’s always a chance that it could be decided at a later date that a more fitting announcer will be added.
It’d be fairly easy to change i think, they are probably still getting singleplayer voice overs done so it would be easy to swap in another voice.
Not that it matters to me, i don’t mind the female voice, just don’t like the crisp nature of it.
Making it a crackly english radio voice would be fine for me.
