English voice overs?
« on: March 23, 2010, 04:36:34 PM »
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the actual Russian being used, but given that I only "yes" and "no" in Russian, would it be possible to have a voice over with a Russian accent telling you when you're under attack, or when a squad is killed? As of right now, I have no idea what they're saying other than "SNIPER!"

I know it would be a lot of work, and if there's a subtitle option somewhere, I must have missed it...

Well considering the Russians have American speech in Russian..(Hear the T-70 say 'Greyhount')I like it as is.
I don;t like the Speech from the US facton I don't want the only Allied Faction I play to go back down that path, Its just a step backwards.

Thank you! This has been bugging me for some time now. I would love to hear English with a Russian accent. There is so much possibility. Imagine the conscripts pouring in screaming bloody murder all the way. Dissing the Germans and so forth.

Find some voice actors... I'm sure they would implement it to some extent if they had willing voice talent.

The number of individual voice clips we would need to record and implement for each faction number in the tens of thousands. That alone is a HUGE task, but we would also need multiple professional-sounding voice actors, scriptwriters, and expensive equipment and vast expanses of time that none of us have.

Lol the simpliest solution boys in this case is to learn Russian language. Это не так трудно научиться русский язык.

Btw is it possible to implement subtitles at least to help these boys to understand Soviets?

If I'm not mistaken, the speech is the same as the US, so whats the point, the easiest way is to pay attention to what is going on and learn voice patterns.

so let me get this straight. The soviets are using the same structure as the allies? so by memorizing them, I could understand thre soviets?

Yeah you have a good point. Still it would be cool to hear some Russians dissing the Germans... But thanks, that was helpful!

plus who wants to hear the same thing over and over it gets annoying at least with the Russians you dont know it so it sound new every time they say something reducing the annoying factor
