I would also love to see more switch flipping by the pilot in the cockpit.

For example for night and thermal vision.

Greetings all,

Reference the in-game Pilot animations for changes selected.

- Most of the normal controls for the 'Mechs operation are configured, changed, and selected from the Pilots joysticks or control sticks. There are in some 'Mechs multiple joysticks, control sticks, for normal operation and physical control. (moving the hands and body precise control.) - we are only seeing a single set in most 'Mechs.

- The dials, switch's, slides, buttons we see as cockpit controls are all the functions that are not normal activities.
- Some of these change ammo selection locations, move ammo between locations, and even emergency ammo dump, and a lot are strictly 'Mech configuration and maintenance controls.

If a Pilot has to take there hand off a control to reach for some 'normal' operational change, that's just bad cockpit layout. And in battle can get you killed. In some instances toggle switching between types of viewing images may be needed to 'id' or 'pick-out' a 'Mech hiding or partially obscured. (right there on the joystick, and probably a 3 way switch.)

The one big animation we see the Pilot complete is the 'Heat Shut-Down Override'.
- This is an Emergency override and should be a separated and 'off the controls' selection.
- 'It could get you killed or damaged if used' features should not be part of the common controls.
- Normally big red buttons, but within normal reach, like the eject function.

Just some info,
Aim True and Run Cool,
9erRed

I would like to see or hear the full MW3 and MW4 audio of Betty, For fun here is my version of Betty giving a Jade Falcon Blood Falcons warning.

There is a volume slider in the settings for "dialogue" that acts as that function. Not that i would want her to stop talking, i like her. But some people turn her voice off.

I mentioned this on Outreach on reddit...would like to also have the choice of more than one voice. Having Betty be the voice when Wave I hit, without any variation was a minor downer, great opportunity wasted there.

I'm surprised that anyone voted "no".

How about voice packs? Those will be a hit in the MC store.

Take it a step further and allow players to record their own.
Have the best from time to time in the community showcase.
Bring the outstanding ones in game, and give the creators a cut of MC proceeds generated from them.

whats really needed is a warning when people hit friendly mechs - and no, players should not be able to deactivate that warning

j/k & tongue in cheek:
"Talk to the hand, your AC aint listening."
"this is getting slightly warm"

and from the gandalf mod:
"hobbit threw a ring in here warning, might be hot."

I never understood how she got her name.

I would if she said things like,
"Why did you shoot your own ally?"
"You just walked into the enemy Alpha you fool!"
"My cockpit glass is dirty, you don't love me!"
"I want a divorce to get a new owner and I am taking half your C-Bills."

Voted yes to both, but the most important is being able to configure certain warnings, especially the heat warning!

I'd like her to be less specific when mech limbs are destroyed. When "Right torso destroyed" happens I don't need to hear a litany of all that was in it along with the arm that fell with it.

I wish they let us add our own custom sounds if needed. That would be amazing to have music from the old MW2 along with the voices.

How about doing the jump jets fuel warning as a short, concise count down. Fuel, 75, 50, 25, Out... Its way too verbose now.... By the time Betty gets to words "25", its out. All her battle verbiage should be short, to the point and super efficient at choice of words.

Heck, I want Jon Bailey (voice of "Honest Trailers" on YouTube) to make a Bitching Betty voice mod ;-)

The ingame chat/messages can move way to fast, and TAB can be anything from inconvenient to suicide.
So I really need her to tell me when team mates die.

"Alpha 2 Destroyed"
"Charlie 4 Destroyed"

There could also be additional levels like Legged or Disabled (walking stick).
