An interesting thread about the languages and translations in BF2
I was playing the first time and I heard something in Arabic: lekker werke. I had a big laugh about it because it would be something that someone from like say Iran/Iraqua who learned Dutch would say (badly pronounced).
They say somethin sounding like "haindehaarh" which means hair combed to cover a bald patch in danish (hentehår). Kinda funny when they yell "haindehaarh!" in the game :D
one of the posts mentions an english voice over option....
I didn't know about that, and I'll be using it as soon as I find it (at least I'll know when someone needs a medic :P )
The trouble with switching to english voice is you don't know if the person calling for a medic around the corner is on your side or not! You could run around the corner to be faced with a whole mess of nasties :ranting: :blink:

You can hear them talking into their radios though...
When you hear someone yell "grenade" you know you might do well to run... You hear medics telling people they're good to go, etc... You can identify if it's your team or not usually as it's fainter if it's enemy depending how close they are. Everyone speaks english anyway don't they? No? Well, if we shout louder they will ;)
You don't hear the radio chatter, just them talking, if you are close enough. All those pre-defined messages you've got on the COMM rose are actually spoken by the character so anyone close enough can hear them. Did I mention that you need to be close to them? :whistle:
So, to recap, you need to be near to them. Is that right? :blink:
