well...it is quite obvious y everyone can hear u even when u teamchat and the enemy sees u...but wat about having a stealth mode tat is activated when u crouch or prone so tat u can team chat through a "walkie talkie" in the game so tat only ur teammates can read...this is quite useful when giving directions to others while hiding b.c of low health or reloading baret.

That would make sense. The enemy can normally see the message above your head because when you team chat, it's only on a different channel, but you're still loud, so they can hear you. That's what it's based off of. But if you're crouching or proning, you would normally be much more quiet, so the enemy wouldn't be able to hear you. Seems good to me.

I'm pretty sure the fact that you can see teamspeak over someone's head is considered a bug.

I happen to like that the chat appears over their head, it should stay.

Some of this discussion has already taken place in the thread
Team chat invisible above players head. I think that Michal purposefully made it so team chat could be seen by the other team if they were on-screen.

However, zyxstand's idea is different in that it suggests another variation of team chat. I kind of like the idea of the text not being seen above your head when you're prone.

well you are stupid for your example, but no, you couldn't type when you are crouched. and this idea sucks too, for 2 reasons.

1) i hate that you camp
2) it is very strategic in clan wars..warning about enemies incoming because you see an enemies taunts. yeah.

I think real mode should have this, as well as no chat overhead if they are behind you

Could idea but it could complicate the game, its obvious that soldat is not meant to be a complicated game.

I disagree. Can you hear someone if they're talking behind you? Because, I can...
