When I hear her say 'Critical Damage' I hide. Otherwise I feel like I'm actually letting her die :)

You can't please all of the people all of the time, and you can't please some of the people... ever.
Damned if you do, damned if you don't.

If it's any consolation, I love this implementation of Betty. Can't wait for the start-up sequence :)

Kudos for starting to include BB into the game.

It would be nice if BB would much louder. Besides all the other sounds going on in the game, BB is just way, way to quiet.

Am I the only one, who wants a male voice? like the one from crysis


Yes. This is Mechwarrior. The female voice is as classic and iconic as the mechs themselves and integral to the nostalgia and player experience. If the voice were too different, it would not be the same game that pgi is trying to recreate.

It would be an ugly abomination. Ever see Pet Cemetary? Thats would it would it be. The voice must be Betty.. not Bob.

Would much rather prefer them to just add the MW2 Mercs voice files if at all possible EDIT: Clientside modding/replacing of said audio files would be fantastic

I'd replace all of her voice files with 'mukyu' at once. Looking forward to it.

Unless she's attractive and is using some tongue, I don't want her coming into my brain through my ears anyways.

... you sure you want a tongue in your brain? That sounds like something out of the Alien series.

A neurohelmet cannot project something as complex as a voice into your mind, fyi. That being said, I think her voice is justifiable as being that "clean" because it's likely being piped into your ears through a snug fitting headset. I do agree though, that it would probably sound better if it were mixed a bit better with the other sounds. They aren't done with her yet, though, so I wouldn't worry.

Thing is, we're not using audio equipment that throws the sound directly from the computer into our brain anyway.

...

The audio technology in 3049 is inferior to audio technology in 2012?

It would be nice to have a check box option for the voices and frequency of them so you can customise it. As apose to just turning off or on whether you like it or not.

I find people who cant move on from the past annoying, I find people who want things to be just like they remember it more annoying.

And I find people who complain about a feature they clamoured for to be the worst of all.

Personally I never cared about BB. It is a nice to have, but at the end of the day it is just a voiceover. For the people saying it needs a change, It has been almost 2 DECADES, move on, enjoy change. Because that's what your going to get for the rest of your lives, and if you dont enjoy it you wont enjoy life.

We're not all whining about her, she just need some tweaks to be good (and not necessarily exactly like in MW2). Yes we will need an option to enable/disable which events we wanna hear or not. Also the samples posted above are exaclty what the voice would need, some reverb to bring back that "computer" feeling, like she had in MW2 (or a little bit like Adjutant's voice in Starcraft 1-2).

By the time Betty tells me I only have 25% fuel left I'm out of fuel - perhaps changing this to 33 to 50%?
