panzermartin Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 I kind of miss the voice files from CMBO/AK with the more colorful chat and even swearing. Some were even funny, like the "burn you mother" when hitting a tank, while others were quite informative about enemy forces, like "Panzers! etc. In comparison CMSF voices seem a bit repeative and uninspired imo. Will we hear some new refreshing or even humorous random chatter in Normandy? Would be cool if allied soldiers scream "Tiger Tiger!" upon seeing a PzIV or using some argo of the era for instance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 My favorite was when one squad broke in AK and you heard on the sound track, "Come back, you cowards!" Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panzermartin Posted February 2, 2009 Author Share Posted February 2, 2009 Heh i remember that one. "Granaaata" from CMBB was classic too 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dietrich Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 CMSF voices seem a bit repeative and uninspired imo Just yesterday I was playing "Hold the Line" and several times heard "Sarge, we've spotted enemy units!" said by adjacent units almost simultaneously so that it sounded like it was in stereo. lol Overall, I agree. The CMx1 voice files were more varied and expressive. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidan1 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Thought it might be a good time to resurrect this short thread. I hope that new voice files will be created for Normandy, and not just a rehashing of the same lame files in English that were brought over into CMSF. Might seem like a minor issue after all the extensive discussions on VT fusing, the Mp-44, rounds skipping across the terrain and the like, but the voice files are there all the time and certainly contribute to total game immersion. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Fear not, the Yanks will have all new audio cues! BFC really invested in this and has hired voice talents from all corners of USA. This means that the G.I's have two thick accents, either from Texas or Harlem. Unfortunately this meant that the budget for German voices had to be slightly cut. In practical terms this means that they speak Arabic, but players are unlikely to notice this (in fact, most players will probably want to modify the Germans to speak English like in CMBB). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavicula_Nox Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 That's not realistic at all. Everyone knows the only people in the Army are Texans, Tennessee(ans), and other Southerners. Pfft. Harlem. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyD Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 either from Texas or Harlem. C'mon, you've seen all the old war movies. There has to be one Bronx NY accent to provide wise-cracking comic relief. Dirty Dozen, Kelley's Heroes, Stalag 17. Its a rule of some sort. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergei Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 No worries there, the Texan will be the comic relief - his name is José Gonzales. A few excerpts: "Aye caramba, that is the second biggest Maus I've ever seen!" "Madre mÃa! Blood! Blood all over my... poncho!" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pvt. Ryan Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 "Ow! My leg!" was my favorite. The German insult, "Gouda Shoes!" was also a good one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stikkypixie Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 "Ow! My leg!" was my favorite. The German insult, "Gouda Shoes!" was also a good one. I don't think that's an insult, I think it means good shot. Maybe some German speaker can clarify. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 ...the G.I's have two thick accents, either from Texas or Harlem. Harlem? That's about a war too soon. Texas, Alabama, and Brooklyn supplied all the front line soldiers for WW II. Oh, and there was always one blond kid from Iowa who gets killed in the second reel.

One in each squad who would be used to threaten the captured German soldiers with scalping in order to get them to talk. There weren't enough to put one in every squad, not even in a Hollywood flick. It was more like one per platoon. But he was always very good with a knife. He usually got killed later in the pic. Michael 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Migo441 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Clavicula_Nox, Luckily, in the classic movie(s), there's no blood and the guy dies peacefully with his buddies there to hold his hand and give him a final smoke.

Dietrich Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 There has to be one Bronx NY accent to provide wise-cracking comic relief. And there has to be one guy whose name ends in "-ski". Gut schuss? (can't be bothered to find all the umlats and stuff) "Guter Schuss" = good shot. Sorry, no umlauts until you get to the plural: "gute Schüsse", good shots. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clavicula_Nox Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The "-ski" is most certainly a requirement. We could always make a composite character: Sgt. Mike Riding-Horse Elburadek Washanowski from Texas, but raised in the Bronx. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
