I realize ingame comms is a hot topic re: voice comms but...

Can we have some keyboard based comms and emotes off like say the Z and X key on a radial like for example L4D and Killing Floor do?

You know the thing: 'Help!' (which flashes up grid square your in or even a PING on grid square like league of legends PING)

Simple commands ('follow me' and 'return to base', 'check your six' etc and some acknowledgements would go along way as sometimes theres no time to be typing into chat bar and clearly everyone isnt going to adopt voice comms.

It's simple enough to implement and to use and would go a long way towards some better ingame comms

edit: oops if wrong section mods please move

You could always install Autohotkey and have a macro setup for all the text chat stuff ya want.

true but something global available to be used by all would be better, theres also an ALT PING in League of Legends for 'watch out!' where you can ping a player to warn them, that would be useful too

In one of the Ask The Devs Answers they said that eventually what you're asking for will be implemented. Till then macros are pretty much your only option.

as long as there isnt a /dance command
