BHS has been in contact with various people, formally employed by Westwood, in regards to working with us on various possible projects. Some of the most well-known C&C personalities have agreed to work with us. I cannot reveal all of our plans,so you will have to wait and see Wink

One plan that is ready to go forward though, is the addition of new Radio Commands. Cliff Hicks, a.ka. "Devinoch" was the voice actor for the radio commands that we all currently use. He has agreed to work with us on recording new radio commands!

Now this is not something that will happen overnight. Devinoch has a very busy schedule, so the order of things will be something like this:

1. Request community to submit their most wanted new radio commands (doing this now).
2. Go over the list, and pick out the most requested ones.
3. Assuming there will be "too many" requested, hold a poll/vote to allow the community to choose the final number of commands.
4. Work with Devinoch to record the voice samples.
5. Master the samples, and prepare the code to use them (keyhooks).
6. Release...not sure if this will be part of Core Patch 2, or a seperate release...TBD.

So there we go...now it's time to submit the radio commands you would like to see added. Please think carefully and submit things that you would consider truly useful. Please don't submit silly things like "ROFLCOPTER" and such.

This isn't my official list, but just off the top of my head, I would like to see:
1. "Defend the base defenses!" (We already have "attack the base defenses", and "defend the base", and "defend that structure", but nothing to really indicate to defend or repair the AGT/Obelisk"
2. "Disarm that beacon!" (This shouldn't even have to be said, but often I need help disarming a beacon and can't stop to type it)
3. *something about snipers* (I always find myself warning teammates that I just got sniped, or that there are 4 snipers on the hill, etc)
4. "Enemy spotted in pillbox/bunker!" (This may be what I talked about in #3, often I am warning people about snipers/enemies that are firing from the pillboxes).
5. "Enemy in base!" - (I'm always telling the team that I saw an SBH in the base, or that an APC is in the base, etc).
6. "Requesting backup" (More to the point than "Follow Me").

That's enough to give an idea, I will submit my actual list once I have more time to think about it. I can't say yet how many commands we will be adding, as that depends on which keys we choose. For example, we could use F5-F7, so thats 3 keys, so when used in combination with ALT and CTRL, that would mean we could have 9 added radio commands. Again that is just an example, and is not/probably not the final config.

There you have it...take some time to think, and post your list and/or comments.
