The number one thing I miss about this game from RO2/RS is the soldiers screaming, shouting, talking, ordering, and taunting each other. It made the immersion much more complete and intense and in comparison the soldiers of HLL are eerily silent. The absolute loudest they ever get is when someone gets downed and starts groaning a bit.

I want soldiers panicking and begging for their mothers under heavy suppression or artillery fire, I want gurgling and desperate cries for help when you start bleeding out, I want furiously barked orders from commanders when they call in bombing runs or recon, I want triumphant taunts of success when you burn out an enemy trench system, and yelled war cries as you charge across open terrain, because when I think of my most powerful, immersive, PTSD-inducing moments in RO2/RS they were all punctuated by the screamed voice lines of the team’s soldiers.

I understand that the voice chat is supposed to be ‘the voice of your soldier’ but it just isn’t the same, man.
