I have to say that I thought the horns were a good idea that was poorly implemented. Tales of mass horn abuse on the test server were highly exaggerated from my experience–but then, I’ve never been TK’s every single battle either, so I must get in with the nice Russians. In fact, I almost never heard a horn other than my own as I was testing the feature. Any abuse could have been minimized by tweaking the timeout they put on the horns, or else by using the ignore list. The vitriol on the forums was not justified.

The problem with the horns was that it was done as a novelty instead of a useful function. If the horn sound had been accompanied by a visual indicator to those within hearing range (similar to the hit direction indicator) then it would have been very helpful when driving in close proximity, especially when you needed to cross in front of someone who might be about to shoot.

Man I remember that menu and the time – it was the first time I was on the testserver.
It was too damn funny, though I’m happy it didn’t get in the game.

Old Supertester here – WG put in a lot of horns and bells of the like of cars, trains, and so on. It never got further, or was customizable to us. That was also the time when all the camos where made up completely…

As funny as a Type 59 with a dixie horn was…

They were on 7.0 test server and they sounded like a truck/ship horns.

Here’s some videos of it:

I think non-customizable honks would be enough.

I would DEFINITELY use the World’s Loudest Orgasm as my horn if they were implemented.
