I don't know what you think you heard before, but the one you're hearing now is Carol Ruggier, the same woman who made the MW voice.

MW2 came out 17 years ago. Voices change as people age.

I think it sounds pretty good. IRL, I'm a mechanic on commercial aircraft and she's a dead ringer as far as tone and inflection. If anything she needs to be louder. In an airplane, when you get the fire bell, or "Terrain Terrain, Pull up! Pull Up!" it's, as you might expect, loud and attention getting. In the game though I don't want it that loud, it would get irritating real quick. In the airplane biz you're not supposed to hear Betty very often, and there is a cancel button for when you do. I will second what AzOr said. There needs to be a slight pause much like in MW2. The aircraft I work on now have that depending on what the airplane is trying to tell you. For instance, if you throttle the plane with the brakes set or the flaps in the wrong position you get a "Release(pause)Brakes" or "Position(pause)Flaps". Emergency warnings, such as the terrain warning I mention above are single messages though with no sound break.

And sometimes that's hawt.

It's better than nothing, but I do wish it was a little more mechanical in tone, and some of the phrases just don't sound right ("Your base is being captured" doesn't have the same ring to it as "Your base is under attack").

THIS.
MW2:Mercs voice just sounded amazing. Reactor [pause] online. Sensors [pause] online.Weapons [pause] Online. All systems Nominal.

Here is a great example of her sound.

Wow, I got...chills? That's not right. But it definitely happened.

Betty is currently WAY too clean, tone isn't excellent, inflection is bad. Execution is WEEEAK.

Needs:

-Better inflection
-A bit of reverb. A tip from a hobbyist producer: EVERYTHING needs reverb, even if it's subtle

She doesn't sound "computery" enough like in MW2. This sounds blander. She also needs to speak faster because this game is so fast paced, the voice can't keep up. And yes, it's often cut off by sound effects.

[Neonin]

Agreed with the OP and numerous others. It's fantastic to hear Betty in the game, but not only do we need a checkbox list to pick which events we want auditory cues for, but you guys need to add some effects to the voice files.

I'd suggest a mess around with a reverb module and some vocoder fiddling personally

Yes.

[amenophis]

I realy enjoy the voice and data from it.

[WildFire ca]

My Mech would have a pimping stereo so her voice would sound perfect.

The voice is too quite. Hard to hear. There is something about the perfect pitch that makes voices distinct from background noise. It needs adjustment.

bettie my baby girl

[Father Dougal]

There needs to be some adjustment but I'm glad to have her back.

[MorbidGamer]

Only problem I have with her is she talks way to much and I can't hear foot stomps because of it.

I don't need her to tell me I targeted someone or switched target. I just need missle, heat and damage warnings.

What the hell is this, a silver bar? I said I wanted a gold bar!

[EternalCore]

Damn How I missed this feature and It makes the game soooo much more immersive!
Now all we need is the Startup procedure!

Who else is with me on this?

[Tannhauser Gate]

Everything in Mechwarrior has been re-envisioned for MWO. The mechs, dropships, weapons, schematics etc.. but all their roots are still in canon. They are, in effect, a newer more detailed vision of canon. So should Betty's voice.

Imo, it should be based on MW2's iconic voice but not metalic or siginificantly different. It should be more canon, more iconic, more authentic.

Bring back Carol Rugier... She would would nail it.
