Mics and Ingame VOIP-Who uses it, or doesn't? Why?

[Frotang]

I love the VOIP and think it works perfectly, unfortunately too many people in my outfit were stuck in their box so we use Mumble. But IMO if your playing the game with prox voicechat disabled then your not a very good player.

OutFit-X only uses TS. We have been using it for years and it is reliable. I personally do not care to listen to the in game voip.

Friends and I use Ventrilo, because we have since forever. I tried using the in-game VOIP a few times and it never works right for me. Squad voice always works perfectly fine, but my proximity/command/platoon chat always get 'hung up'. So I don't bother with it anymore.

-{GBU}- always runs an open squad when even a handful of members are online, so all kinds of randoms join up as we play. For this reason we have to use the in-game VOIP, so people who jump in aren't running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

However, for the actual clan members (and anyone who has a mic + TS) we have our own TeamSpeak 3 server. This channel is where the actual planning/tactical stuff goes down... as well as our random banter :P

I can definitely tell a difference between the in-game VOIP and TS as far as quality goes. I think part of the problem is just how difficult it can be to accurately adjust some in-game settings (as far as receiving and transmitting volume). Still, the in-game VOIP is handy and I really don't see any way for groups to coordinate without it, short of establishing a faction-wide TS/Mumble/etc. channel xD

it seems ok but as said not alot of people set it up correctly. if set correctly it is useful. aces high 2 had in game voip and was used alot. will take time for people to use maybe. i use it but people dont listen lol

Yesterday I was camping a tower and this pug in front of me was strafing back and forth. I told him to kneel so I didnt shoot him in the back of his fucking head. He was listening.

[RSphil]

lol. i think you found the only one then :P

I was on last night and there was a kid who couldn't have been more than 5 years old on in-game VOIP.

So glad there was a mute function.

I dont play in squads(especially pick up squads) because Im red/green color blind - so there really no point in activating my mic.

That's a bummer for you... How do you tell IFF?

I'm technically colour blind (can't read Ishihara charts) but I can still discern red and green.
