Summary (a quick, 2-3 sentence summary):
I'd like aliens to be allowed to take off radio headsets if they hear something from them, or if they see marines talk into them.
Prevent chatter from marine headset from showing up to aliens.
Benefits (How this will benefit the server and game as a whole):
Slightly, RP potential. Many time, my alien character would hear something from the headset, down to Delta Squad and would take it off from sheer curiosity. Aliens are supposed to be clever, especially while in the hivemind, but they're supposed to be dumb enough not to notice something as obvious as a marine talking into a headset and getting a response from it?
Logic. Aliens shouldn't be able to see headset talk. If they're not going to be able to take them off, at least make sure they don't have an IC reason to do so.
Details (Description of how you think this would work, the benefits, etc):
This might be quite tricky in implementation, as it should be only allowed if you saw a marine interact with it. As such, abuse of it would be considered metagaming, I believe.
Just make sure that no sound coming from the headset is possible to hear by aliens.

Re: Allow aliens to take off radio headsets
-1 so fucking bad...
I mean common, these people are already defensless and they just attracting more prey to the hive, not only you will give a major disadvantage to Marines since nobody will find out where the fuck people are and can't call for help...
Seriously...you want to always DISADVANTAGE MARINES

Headsets are a powerfull tool,without it marines are pretty much lost
On a note,you cant see humans talk into them or use them,you cant see anything..at all
And..headsets are small items,put in your ear..now look at a xenos massive claws,if they tried to remove the small headset,they would probably rip the marines ear off.
On a note,you are always posting xeno benefits and other things...i dont belive you know what marines suffer or how they play.

Re: Allow aliens to take off radio headsets
Alright, then as always, I have an alternative. Just stop headset talk from showing up to aliens. It's kinda strange to just capture a host and then suddenly see Delta Squad talking in the chat.

Re: Allow aliens to take off radio headsets
Sadly i don't think this will happen due to marines having atleast the sense of being able to 'escape' or atleast warn others of what is too come.
+1 on the aliens not being able too see headset chat by the way.

Re: Aliens and headsets
Aliens will never be able to remove headsets, and I'm not sure I care enough to fix the "talks into the headset" thing in the current build, perhaps in the alpha.
