 Bad Company 2 After Death Points & VOIP - briefly
(hx) 03:57 PM CET - Mar,22 2010
DICE's Joe Grant made a post (thanks PlanetBattlefield) on on the EA UK Forums clarifying some issues that have been reported as bugs. Basically VOIP is disabled when you die and doing the famous suicide bomber won't get you any points.
Two issues are being constantly raised as "bugs" that I would like to bring some clarity to. These are design issues regarding VOIP after death and Points after death.

VOIP after death.
We found occurrences of people running into enemy areas, dying intentionally and using VOIP to notify their team of where the enemy was located. As a result we turned this off in game. It is still possible to do this using external VOIP (or even other real world communcation systems). In this game, Dead Men cant talk.

Points after death.
We intentionally removed "the suicide bomber". Loading vehicles with C4 and driving them into packed enemy locations to gain points when you die was something we looked at for some time. The whole human controlled guided missile system could be used to great effect, especially when bringing in air vehicles, C4 and destruction. Therefore we removed the points gained by this type of "misadventure" - it includes a "look what you could have won" points tally. We realise people who die bravely fighting to the end also suffer a points loss at this point but it is difficult to separate the two in the current system.

Oh I didn't even know voip worked in BC2. Stupid to remove voice, you penalize (basically) the one side using ingame voice and give more advantage and incentive to those using vent or similar. Duh.

what exactly is wrong with suicide bombing and getting points for it?

so it ok to shot your enemy in the head, to blow im him with frag to flatten him with a tank, but its not ok to take him with you in an explosion?

thats fucked in the head.

I don't care about that, I just care that they cut voice when they don't take a moment to stop and think that not everyone is using in-game voice. Pretty stupid.
