It's like telling a blind person to learn to cross a street safely by
getting hit by a few cars. That's the thought that popped into my mind.

While I sympathize, I also feel the need to point out that mainstream
games, again, do give cues and warnings as well... all be it most of them
are visual. And how do you judge pit distances? In most games, there's a
wind sound to rely on Sure. But you have to realize that headphones make
things sound different so there's no concrete way to measure distances
simply by relying on that sound. And saying to a blind gamer just learn by
falling in that pit is like telling a sighted gamer to figure out how to
do supers and ultras in Street Fighter or any other game that has them.
All those games have command lists for that one reason... so people can
look at things for quick reference and get to the real meat of the game.
Same thing here. If you spend all your time dying in pits, how are you
going to beat the game with a high score? Even judging distance takes
time, and that detracts from your time bonus.

It's definitely possible to judge distance in this game. so why would we
need a warning to know if we're close to a pit? just fall in the pit a few
dozen times and you'll eventually learn to jump. why must so many blind
gamers insist everything is spoon-fed to them? I'm not referring to anyone
in particular, but to the group as a whole. why do most blind gamers shy
away from challenge? This isn't even a Battlezone issue specifically.
whenever there's something a little challenging in a game, people are
always trying to come up with compromises like insert beeping sounds, ways
to get rid of that feature cause it's too hard, and so on.

Easy there buddy. You have to realize... mainstream games give visual
warnings for pitfalls and things like that such as ledges or whatever. It
isn't always possible to judge a pit's distance by measuring in your
stereo field. If you don't want cues, just don't listen for them. That
simple.

no step boundaries for pits! please don't include that. why do
audiogamers need sounds for every little thing? use your ears guys! if
you're close to a pit, jump. why do you need a dumb sound to indicate
this? are some of you playing with mono speakers or headphones? *sighs
in frustration*.

No sorry!
I meant that happened and it need a bug fix there.
I could also be an actor.
Also people have requested in the past
an option to select where the game installs, a change in step sound
before you fall into a pit, selection as to where witch program group
the game is in, and again the voice acting thing.
That one is popular!

Everything except that second suggestion.. I do not need an annoying
tone being played in my left ear. Another suggestion... would it be
possible to hire voice actors for the cut sceens? I would be happy to
do it...

Hey all,
We are going to update battlezone here soon and are looking for
suggestions.
the ones we have come up with are
1. Make the game more realistic. Such as booby traps effect bolders
by at-least slowing them down a bit, You can move while ducked,
enimies can shoot you when your ducked and in the air, and when the
blades are retracted you can jump without getting harmed.
2. At the end of a level if say you were one step from the portal and
a bonis item falls and you step forward without catching it it would
play an extreamly anoying tone in your left ear, and you can't here
your statis without getting a headake.
3. When you use a bomb can the 20 enimies that you kill just shut-up
because there dead? When you use one the enimies are still talking
they just don't do anything.
4. Can you make it possible to set a booby trap for the cop cars and
it will damage them but then the cops could get out and attack just
like the other people?
Please reply to all so that key is full will receeve them as well.
Thanks,
Shane Lowe
