Need Better Communication in Blufor

[ExpectingHawk 1]

I have been playing arma2 for a long time, for rp servers it all started back in chernarus life, now this was far from perfect but even back then we could have simple communication within the cops. I have jumped from server to server since then and have learned a lot of things. For blufor to be effective people need to take things seriously and start communicating and working together. Back when I played on RISE things where not that bad because people actually played like they where supposed to. Its honestly getting very frustrating when I get on TS3 and get into the game to see people not giving two craps on what's going on around them. Simply if your in the patrol channel then do patrols, if your in CPR channel you need to be manning CPR, if your doing border operations be in the channel. Its not hard guys, also while in TS3 there is this very nice option to set hotkeys, there is nothing more annoying than hearing someone making an arrest or talking to a civ or whatever in game while still talking in TS3. Make use of the hotkeys and set one that will mute your mic and sound, simply I have mine as the up arrow and it works pretty good. Another thing is side chat, side chat should be used to communicate to other blufor about events that are happening or small questions or such, don't use it just to talk to someone in game, again that's what TS is for, if there is an emergency and you need backup then use it, otherwise its very annoying when you cant hear anything else because someone is using side chat just to talk to their buddy. This saves us from having to all be in the same TS3 channel. Its also very annoying when we have people that actually on blufor want to take things seriously and we have the select few people that come on to just screw around, examples are, causing war by killing opfor at a checkpoint for no reason, Beating civs, putting civs in jail for no reason, abusing your power and etc... Yes I know a lot of this can be fixed with whitelisting and having a test. I just wanted to bring up the topic again, and until then maybe people can start working as a team and if people start doing that I think things will start to be more enjoyable. Sorry for the rant but I wanted to vent about this topic

You say we need better communication yet you go into a blufor channel and mute up most of the time. Lead by example, by getting a few people communicating in one channel and see, if it gets bad tell them to calm down etc. 

 

Im just voicing my opinion, yes side should be kept clear and for emergency only.

I personally don't communicate as much, due to the rest of blufor not pitching in.

Then you yourself should lead by example too, right?

Jumpy, I have tired endless amouts of times, it does not work. I have started playing opfor and trying to communicate where it works.

That is true. Communication in Blufor is terrible. Most of the time people sit with their sound muted and are screaming in Side chat

I am only muted when I am talking in game to be honest or I mute when there is to much talking going on and I cant even hear my self think, also I do have some rather loud family members and at times I would rather not have everyone in TS get annoyed over it
