This isn't one of those "game-changing" or "won't play without it" features, but just something a couple friends and I would really like to have in game. It would be pretty hilarious if your mech were equipped with some sort of loudspeaker, so you could broadcast your voice to nearby mechs, friendly or otherwise.

One example, as so wonderfully though up by Kyro Wyvern, was thought up after the Christmas items were introduced, more specifically, the Santa Atlas. Since he usually uses a D-DC in games, he would wait until he killed someone and then proceed to say over the loudspeaker: "Ho ho ho, you piece of ****." or something to similar effect. At the same time it would give defeated players a chance to voice their feelings towards their assailant in those final moments as their mech tumbles to the ground, and the only thing that still works is the loudspeaker. One phrase that comes to mind is: "I FORGOT TO FLUSH!!! NOOOOOOO-"

The point I'm trying to make is, that this feature would not be mandatory but would offer a much more hilarious and dynamic form of communication to the battle without having to forfeit all mech control to type something. This is a feature I know I would use, as would many of my friends, if for nothing more than a simple friendly jest. I mean, it's the future. Police have loudspeakers nowadays, why shouldn't mechs?

You REALLY want to hear what your opponents have to say about you? It's bad enough reading the things they type.

Never going to happen.

You just don't want Atlas Claus giving you your presents this year.

There are better things to waste time thinking about like how to collect wax from used dental floss.

I'd get that checked out if I were you. I'm pretty sure that's only supposed to be coming out your ears.
