Adding a marine/human warcry emote equivalent of *roar

[driecg36]

Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary): Pretty self explanatory. Could be anything from a generic warcry to an "OOH RAH." If it is an ooh rah, the ert's will need their own warcries as well. "For the Motherland!" for the IBs would be fun.

Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole): Something for the marines to use to get themselves hyped up or to intimidate the opposition. Fun for RP moments.

Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc): Aliens and predators both have *roar, but marines have nothing to shout before they go into battle. Imagine a squad of marines chanting "OOH RAH" before charging into the enemy. Could be spammed, but people spam *scream and *medic anyways.

Implementation (Optional, if you have an idea how to implement it): A few different soundbites, for variety. I imagine this would be very easy to code, as long as a good soundbite could be found, which I also imagine is pretty easy.

+1 simply because we need an OORAAH as all the Marines charge across the river. Would be glorious/10.

I can see this being abused out the ass.

Anti-spam measures are already in place for *roar, so just tac that onto the marine equivalent and its gold.

*medic is bad enough. We don't need more variety in the briefing room screaming contest.

If I can counter your point, if *scream, *medic, and *roar are already not being abused (or at least, not abused enough to be completely removed from the game), why would this be worse than any other auditory emote?

And, to add to that, wouldn't you rather people use this emote instead of *medic and *scream? It'd be more appropriate tbh

[Renomaki]

I would love a proper warcry for marines, but we'd have to limit it to prevent it from being spammed. Kinda like how you only cry for a medic when you REALLY need one, we should have it so you should only ever save it for those moments where you need to scream at the top of your lungs like a warrior and not like a pussy.

+1, Ooo-rah all day every day.

Please, I already get sick of screaming and medics, we don't need oorah spams.

[Joe4444]

...do people forget there's systems in place that can easily stop spam by simply adding a cool down to the emote?

As long as there's a cooldown, I wouldn't mind an Oohrah emote. +1

I understand that, but I have the unpopular opinion that we don't really need any of the emote sound effects.

As an rp expert, wouldn't you enjoy a good ooh rah before the marines do something cool or brave?

I really think it would add a lot to a heroic moment IMO. Moments of marine bravery and heroism are my favorite in the game. It's like a shining diamond in a giant pile of shit made up of ff and disobeying orders...

Well to be entirely honest, every human having similiar variations of the same general sound takes me out of the rp more than anything else, I prefer imagining it more than anything else, the only think I am mostly fine with is the screaming. All I know is it would cause me to be hearing the same sound for every supposedly different character, when a simple "RAAAH CHARGEEE" or something in chat fulfills the same purpose personally.

Like I said, it's really just my personal taste.

What about a bunch of different soundbites? Im sure that's feasible. Scream has a decent amount, but nothing stops us from getting more.

Besides, isn't that the spirit of the corps? Alone you're not worth shit, its when the whole grou ooh rahs together that it matters.

You fucking nailed it, I want to see atleast two fresh squads OORAAH! as they charge over the river with rifles firing and xenos roaring in defiance.

[Crab_Spider]

Fuck no. -1

You can just type "OORAH!" instead of emoting. You can also emote salute, so I don't know why you need a stand alone emote to roar. That seems like an alien/animal thing to do. Denied.
