Any reason why we can't talk to our FC in Frontlines?

It's against the freedom of speech and very annoying.

[Jeykama]

Unfair collaboration, mostly.

What the hell does freedom of speech have to do with this.

Because your fc mate might be in failstorm and you in imortal lames and start passing info about what you or his team is doing. You may think its minor but it only takes 1 say to say that mu group is going is heading to markets and our outpost is unguarded so you and your team can just skip markets and take their Outpost.

as if they can't do that via teamspeak/vent/skype/line or anything else.

Like the other person said..that can be done by so many things. So that's a poor excuse..as for the failstorm part..I find that interesting since 90% of the fights in frontlines it results with adders and flames joining forces and attacking the "failstorm".

I was unaware of this, I seem to recall being able to talk in FC chat in Frontlines, but then I was also in a FC party... May be a bug or I may be remembering wrong.


And it has absolutely nothing to do with the legal or constitutional concept of "Freedom of Speech". Just throwing that out there.

You can read what ppl say but not answer.

Of course unfair collaboration via outside channels can't be prevented. That doesn't mean the game itself should allow it to happen within its own channels.

Don't see why not. Cheaters gonna cheat.

All something like this really does is make the activity less enjoyable for people that aren't even "collaborating" in the first place.

They haven't let you chat in PvP since day#1, for the same reasons. Enjoyment has nothing to do with it (plus, you should be focusing on the opponents, not chatting)

At any rate, SE can't stop people from willfully cheating and win-trading, but they don't have to enable and sanction the behavior.
