While I don't practice casual swearing personally, it kinda is part and parcel of market culture nowadays regardless what Moral Studies syllabus are crammed into schools.

However the main point of the foul language bans on on-location events is the fact that there's usually media coverage and publicity. How would you like the Science and Tech minister to briefly pass by a game and have his ears turn purple and fall off?

If you guys want to hire hookers and smoke weed while playing privately, i.e. on on-line leagues, etc, it's none of our business how you spend your leisure time.

shh stop telling people how we play privately!

i still think talking after death to a live teammate shouldnt be allowed.

Regardless of what players say, i still believe that there will be those who will abuse it and give intel to their live teammate. Even more so when they can flip through the screens. Intel is more important in CoD4 over CS (since cs has map bottlenecks in the map). If a dead teammate is allowed to firstly scroll through his teammates and also at the same time tell his live teammate what to do, i dunno.. you do the math.

What about:

NO communication between live and dead teammates whatsoever, but no restriction on dead teamspeccing?

Live can shout to other live teammates, dead can discuss with other dead teammates with reasonable volume.

+ over 9000

i agree with falk

agree with falk 100%.

Now you just made the world a better place.
But obviously, the dead has to be discussing in game instead of talking out loud right? Otherwise it could be distracting to the live players, and who knows what the heck they might be talking about =D

Why don't make it like ESPGL:AL like before? Can type with dead teammates, but don't have to talk. Dead speccing is a bonus.

who gets to make the final decision?cause in the end of the day someone has to.

Probably falls back on the ESPGL commitee sometime in immediate future (especially since other events are coming up)

hmmm, btw, would ESPGL still be in PAM4 or would it have moved on to Promod?

Never read properly! Promod I guess

REASONABLE VOLUME LAH DAILOUUUUU.

You don't have to shout to your dead teammates.

I can foresee a lot of shouting AT dead teammates.

Seatings during tourney as such, Player 1 - Player 5.

Player 1 team kills Player 5 and Player 1 gets naded by Player 5's cook nade.

"LEI CHOU MAT YEH" was heard from one end to the other.

Hehe.

Then the options:
1. Allow to talk with dead teammate only when he's beside you, must whisper and can't type.
2. Allow to team chat, but can't whisper/talk or whatsoever.
3. Allow both team chat and whispering XD

I think you should be allowed to type to each other when dead, however people are capable of flicker eye movement and reading text on screen especially for low res since it's bigger. I know about this because i can.

i don't support talking once dead however, low voice or not. It is possible to pitch your voice to a level where someone within 2 feet can hear you from the side but not from the rear. And marshalls can't hear everything. I know, I tested it hearing my teammate swear a few times but the marshall didn't, because background noise will break up the sound by the time it hits further than 2 feet.

That happens regardless of the rules being able or not able to talk to live teammates, though.

lol now marshalls need to bring measuring tape
