In game communication

[Cyanide]

I'd like to know how the ingame communication system works. I know there are voice binds, but how extensive is the list? Can individual players send voicebinds to just one or a small group of players? Does the game support mic communication between squad members or not at all?

Extensive list, very extensive. Plenty of binds to get the job done.

As for mic voice in-game. Not yet, but comming.

I hope they release a mic-supporting extension. But for now i'll have to use a seperate porgram.... :(

I would think a 3rd party voice program such as TS2 would better than an actual in game communication system since you would be able to keep in contact with your outfit or whatever even though you may not be in game.

Maybe I'm just looking at the whole idea strange.

You'd have to set up your TS2 session in advance. That's fine if you only plan on playing with your outfit, but I'd like to be able to communicate with my pickup groups.

Good point, I thought I was looking at it funny. I always prefer to go out with my guild or what have you over pick-up groups so I never considered that. In that case then an in game system would be great.

I'm usually screwed on the voice thing anyway since my computer is in my wife and I's bedroom so I wouldn't be able to say much at night or I'd wake her up. That's a bad thing to do, believe me! :eek:

Well at least you can hear stuff Jimbo.

I am glad VOIP is going to happen. I hope it doesn't drag down the server, but...

Reguardless, it would be handy to have instant comm. between your squad. It would greatly improve teamwork.
