Actually, i think that alot of potential is still unused in terms of armagetron teamplay...... with some intelligent UI-tools which ease tactical decisions (i.e. a minimap which zooms in during close-combat and does other nifty things, or the smartcam being a bit more smart in labyrinths or other encounters) + voice-chat some powerful teamplay would be possible.

Besides, we already have voice chat. It's not supported directly by the game, but that's fine. A server admin can setup any of several servers that will give him and his players that feature. Failing that, players can use various IM clients to do the same thing.

I can't think of any reason to do it, but if someone were to code it up for armagetron it might be nice to have.

If you want voicechat, you can use TeamSpeak. (Maybe set an arma server for TS on one of the existing servers?)

Or, if you're really into team play, then just develop play calls, like in sports. Type "red 52 flag double Z" or "sprint right option" and no one will know what you're talking about except your team member.

I've mentioned a teamspeak server for tron servers dozens of times!

I may almost have one up... check the lobster cage boards in a week or so and I'll tell you whats up. But There will most likely be a lobster cage chat room.

oh dear, i need to be careful about my wording here - creates bad misunderstandings. *Of course* i didn't mean to implement voice-chat INTO armagetron :) I just mentioned it because it could then be used in combination with the other stuff.

I just prefer teammembers that can read my mind. Lower latency than any of these other suggestions. (I've found that most of the older players can, and I can do the same in return. Man I miss being able to seal off Yaza while he went to chase someone down. There's a guy I could seal off into a box with a baddie and trust to come back out--alone)
