A suggestion to improve VoIP communication for the future

Re: A suggestion to improve VoIP communication for the future

Most of my friends i regularly play with already have that feature, its called using speakers instead of headphones That way you always get the "battle sounds" of the person thats speaking.

Its especially atmospheric when 2 of us are flying jets and one calls for help to get someone off his tail, so you hear the lock-on tone in the background, it adds a sense of urgency :laugh:

The main thing i would like to see added is the ability for squad leaders to contact other squads, would save time in planning flag assaults without needing to relay it through the commander (and hope he has a mic to pass it on as well)

Yes yes, exactly what I meant in my post. But could that be done to mic as well? My PC is in the living room of my house. There are some "sound" which I don't think will match the game's atmosphere.

Splinter cell has proper voice transmission down more or less. It works for players being able to hear each other, like wispering in some ones ears before you snap their neck if your a spy. in co-op the AI can also hear you, though the system dosen't work perfectly, so I ended up turning it off, since the game is hard enough. The problem was, sometimes you wouldn't be speaking and they would hear you, perhaps because you breathed into the mic to loud, or it was just a random error. when it did work, it added a extra layer to the game, and considering it's a pioneering feature, I totally let the bugs slide because I know in the future it should be better, and in more games.

But yes these games are never more then 4 people in adversarial, and co-op is only 2, so there less chance of people being immature, especially since dying it not only easier, it's hard enough as is, if your not working as a team, then it's a disaster from the get go.
