Implemented Landmine spotted

[jaie]

An option to have the guy:

completely muted or

only say it once for a group of land mines

or the way it currently is.

 

because currently if you want to mute him, you have to have the announcer muted also and that means you can't hear stuff like dynamite planted or objective taken which are crucial to game-play.

 

but it is rare for someone to bother spotting a lone land mine, they'd usually just ignore it and will try spot the ones in groups. When this happens, you get the announcer goes on and on, and it delays other messages and hearing dynamite planted 15 seconds late can be a pain.

 

also he causes me a whole lot of grief with lag, normally its fine, on a bad day my et goes patchy and sometimes even freezes if there are vsays or kill sprees or airstrikes whilst he is doing it,

 

so it would be great to have this as an option

I agree with, possibly a way to have the group of landmines that are revealed with 1 zoom of the binocular be announced as 1 landmine.

 

(ie- in supply depot come out of cave and zoom in to spot 4 landmines near entrance and 2 by axis door announced once "landmine spotted"

If you zoom once for the 4 at cave entrance and then again for the 2 at the door you have 2 announcements instead of 6 total.)
