Nice, would do wonders for people without microphones on Siege! Especially the ones playing ranked without a headset.

It's certainly one of the most innovative mechanics we've seen in quite a while. A lot of multiplayer games could benefit from it, especially since hardly anyone uses in-game chat anymore.

It's sooo damn useful that I am literally astonished it hasn't been in any game that I can recall. I wish they could patent it and sell to other BR/MP games. And the people who thought of it, should get a damn raise. Although, I still think Apex Legends need an "need X ammo" ping, and some default voiced msgs. But overall, it's my favorite BR.

You can ping the ammo you need by looking at the gun in your inventory and the ammo icon within it. Then ping it.

Ahhh. Wow. Haven't tried that, still not intuitive enough, but glad they have it

You can also ping a weapon attachment you want for your gun

As long as they voice all their callouts, but I doubt it considering it would give positions away.

just won a match with 1 other guy no mic but teamwork like we've played everyday with each other. if you didnt have a mic back in the day you wouldve been voted out of the whole game. this is the best system ive ever used and would love for other dev teams to adopt it.

This will push R6 into a whole new level.

30fps sucks. Especially on an OLED.
