you can swap it into your ear slot if you suspect you are going to be meeting "certain noise hazards"Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): a happy tradeoff between no longer being able to talk with your friends over your nice radio earpiece (but we can assume that people SHOUTING RIGHT NEXT TO YOU! MAY GET THROUGH TO YOU!) and no longer being stunned and knocked down by her majesty screaming. should also have some effect on how flashbangs affect you. isnt that a reasonable level of risk/reward?
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
"but misto" you say "aliens is like a retro sci fi 70s/80s thing, is hearing protection truly retro appropriate to the usa military of that era?" let us consult and research https://books.google.ca/books?id=ZLtfHv ... &q&f=false hmmm it appears that as early as the korean war hearing loss concerns were being investigated and hearing protection issued to certain personnel and that this continued into the vietnam war era relevant to the creation of the aliens franchise, how fascinating. golly "helmets with noise attenuation introduced" whatever does that mean
perhaps you could even divide this up by leaving shitty normal earplugs for the grunts but integrating superior hearing protection into the helmets of select personnel such as squad leaders, specialists, etc. that let them continue to use radio while being protected.
of course, you know those hotshot soldiers, so confident and cocky, who knows if they will comply with protecting their poor earsies before its too late?
Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): giev earplug
