Hi guys, greetings from Germany!

My first Mech-game was MW2. And I liked that huge amount of messages the mech-computer was telling you. At startup you got information like name of planet, atmospheric temperature, local time etc.
When i first played mw3, I excpected similarly amount of information, but we got just "Reactor online, sensors online, weapons online, all systems nominal... enemy power-up detected... That's it!!
In MW2 we even got messages like "point 2 attacking your target", well that has been exchanged through lance-mate-voice-messages, but in mwo that's not possible because singleplayer-story doesn't exist.

I would like to hear more messages from the beautiful computer-voice. Imo it could be a little bit more distorted to sound like a real computer-voice like in mw2.

What about:
"Powering up... Welcome, Commander!
Planet: (for example) Solaris VII
Ambient Temperature 45 point six zero degrees celsius, heat sinks performing with 73 percent
Local time is May, 25th 19, 45 GST (and here we could add the real time in hours and minutes just to make it less worthless, and yes, I know that there could be more than 24h onto a planet)

In most cases we got enough time until first enemy contact to let the beautiful voice run down that list of information.



At the moment we got 2 lances and we could assign characters to any player. What would be about:

"Unit B is captureing enemy base/nav-point Theta"
Conversely: "Enemy is captureing your base/nav-point epsilon"


Most important option should be to configurate the points of information the mech is telling you. I can imagine that some players find it annoying anytime. But for me, it would be a great atmospheric addition!

i personally would shut off my sound at the start of every game if she rattled off all that info every damn time on the same few maps.
and a lot of that information is a bit too situation al, how often will you have an entire lance capping a point? it will just as likely be several mechs from separate lances in the case of these pug matches.
but yes i do agree, some more dialog from 'Betty would be bitchin
(hah)

Ah right, she's called betty
thanks
and that's why the extended config-options about the info you can switch on and off

Don't you remember this line: "Warning! Heat level critical....core meltdown imminent!"

My personal favorite from MW3

I would like some more dialog from Betty to keep me updated on the unfolding tactical situation without having to constantly check up on stuff manually. It's hard to keep track of who's alive and who's dead when I'm busy going toe-to-toe with an enemy mech. It sucks to beat that guy only to check on my buddies and realize that I'm the lone blue triangle in the sea of red triangles.

Plus, some extra fluff chatter would be nice, as long as we could fiddle with what we wanted Betty to jabber about.

The only opposition I have to this is that there's plenty of other stuff that needs work right now. More Betty lines are kind of bottom priority next to the stuff already in the pipe. I'd like to see it, but I think the devs have more important stuff they should be focusing on.

I like rto hear very little i can. Should be a option imo to turn it on or off
