I'm looking for the ability to add sound cues for sending and receiving different types of messages. Some examples:
Whispering to one person: Sender hears a beep to indicate he is whispering, receiver hears a beep to indicate he is being whispered to.
Speaking to everyone in a chan: Cues would probably be off by default, perhaps some gimmicky things could be added to put a crackle of static after the message, etc. Maybe some users want some confirmation they are transmitting when using PTT.
Speaking to multiple chans: A tone or series of tones to distinguish this would be useful both sender and receiver side (to indicate to the receivers that they are hearing a broadcast message).
Whispering to channel commanders
Potential problems: The sounds played to sender would have to be disabled when voice activation is on. Too many default cues could make the channel too noisy. On the other hand, having to say every time you broadcast, "this is a broadcast message to all squads" is way more noisy than just having a cue would be.
