There's not much to discuss about the way chat will work, IMO. But what you said sounds good to me. All I hope is that there will be no "chat to everyone"; only team chat.

Perhaps we could get some taunts too; "You Rebel scum!" and then you shoot :)

ehm only team chat would be a pain in the ass, believe me there exists no game with only team chat and no general

right?

And all games these days have voice chat, i dont think this will be missing in a team based game (MOVE IN!) though the Q is if there will be general voice chat (like in ET) or only team voice chat (COD)

I never use voice chat, it makes me feel silly to talk to my computer

haha. I agree, tFighterPilot.

There will probably be both team and general chat. The only game that I've really played taht I can compare to is Jedi Outcast multiplayer. I hope the chat isn't like that, it sucked. But at least in JO you could do general chat, team chat, and even chat to 1 specific person. (and your text could be in different colors, hehe)

well... I guess it didn't entirely suck, but I hope they make it somewhat better in SWBF

The chat options in Enemy Territory are guite good - although some people abuse them.

I would like to see voice chat support out of the box, to be honest - if it's feasible.

I said team chat only because it adds to the realism. Also, experience tells me that sometimes, immature players will turn the game in a flame war against the other team. That sucks when it happens :(

Well I suppose I sound dumb then, because I can't really explain it. It was good for that game. I guess what I really mean is swbf should have a different type of chat. which is a dumb thing to say because why would it be the same? Anyway, since swbf is more team based and strategical I think it should have an easier way to communicate with your team and to actually get a chance to read what they say before it disappears from the top of your screen.

So I hope I haven't made a complete idiot of myself yet. I'll wait til I get in game to do that ;)
