It's interfering with voip comms in the game.

[Snazzy Dragon]

I don't mind the IS announcer as much but the clan dude is really annoying. But yes, VOIP gets garbled by both sometimes.

[RestosIII]

You do realize you can turn him off, right?

[Levi Porphyrogenitus]

The new in-game voices are excellent and useful. They're a great add.

[Sagamore]

I like them. It adds immersion. Still waiting for voice packs (announcer voices and command wheel voices). Seems like an untapped source of revenue for PGI (that and pilot customization).

Like them so far mostly the angry clan guy.

Your patronage pleases Angry Clan Man.

I was using a voice pack and I discovered that it disabled the Angry Clan Man. Naturally I removed it so I could bask in his loathing of my fellow pilots. The only people unhappy with Angry Clan Man are the ones who can't live up to his expectations.

The fake sounding angryness just kills the immersion for me.

If someone made a calm professional sounding voice pack actually befitting of a military operation, I'll use that since it does convey useful information that isn't on the HUD.

[PhoenixFire55]

Whoever suggested and made this "improvement" is obviously dumb, but at least you can turn it off, unlike the idiotic new icons above mechs.

This

He sounds like a drunken choleric psychopath.
He is as far away from a clan commander as he could be (I'm talking about the impression of clanners from the Stackpole books and associated art, not some comic warrior brute that gets linked occasionally).
He might be okay for some 50 yo worn-out merc sergeant freebirth scum, but not a clan commander.

Well, I like the voices! They are quite literally telling me to kill you!

[Wraith 1]

I like the extra information, but the Clan commander needs a chill pill.

Good thing I only have 3 clan mechs in my entire garage.

[NeoCodex]

Simple solution, use a sound mod.

I don't know which of the packs specifically removes the voiceovers as I use a combination of Shivaxi's retro and Realistic sound mod, but I didn't get any voiceovers playing from the command wheel patch further on, there just aren't any VO playing at all and I'm completely content with it.

I find the Angry Clan Guy amusing, because I've always kind of looked at the Clans as the ludicrous comic-book-villain space-Godwins of the BT universe. The voice-over fits that stereotype perfectly.

I like the matter-of-fact IS voiceover too.

Doesn't dialogue volume turn off BB?

How could I forget! Especially since we've just finished the skilliest tournament in the history of skilliness ...

I wish they could find the person that voiced the 'HQ guy' in the MechWarrior 2 intro and have him do the clan side.
