Do you have a microphone?

Re: Do you have a microphone?

I have a mic, but hate using it. It seems weird to talk to strangers on the computer. I know that it's basically the same as using a phone, but it still seems weird to do.

Re: Do you have a microphone?

I find that I use my mic the most when I'm in Commander mode....especially when people aren't doing what I tell them. Even if they don't respond I know they can hear me calling them jackasses for losing the round...heh

problem with people that don't have mics can't even hear people that do

no mic - means no VOIP - not even Rx

Re: Do you have a microphone?

I have a mic..have I ever used..not alot.

Usually no one is using it, and then when someone is Im not.
Alot of the time I get the "garble garble" out of my speakers, or "whisper whisper" and i think WTF was that..So then I come to the conclusion that why bother it it sounds like $hit sometimes.

Im not much of a talker anyways but I listen, I use my Roger, and Neg alot.
Just to inform people that Im paying actual attention. Using all the responses helps a ton, it iforms people your there and functioning as a team player.
Even if you dont like to talk or dont own a mic basic yes or no's help.

And to honest Ive stumbled into the squad with the kid squeaky and asking every 2 minutes if we could hear him. And my english as a second language folks, Im sorry for all the times Ive had no idea wtf was going on. I try my damnest sometime, it just sometimes I have no idea what there saying and I feel terrible.

and my headset gives me a headache, Im a b1tich I know.

Re: Do you have a microphone?

I don't do that headset sh1t due to sound quality.. I have 2 bookshelf speakers hooked up to a reciever which recieves its signal from my audigy 2 platinum. I have an old mic thats hooked onto a stand-type-thing that holds it about 6 inches from my mouth (it rests on my desk) some people complain that they cant hear me, but then I just raise my voice.

... About using mic's when commanding:

I don't use my mic really when comanding because the only ones that hear you are the SL's. I'm very "vocal" when commanding, I usually let my team know where the bulk of the enemy forces are/spawning at, I let em know where we need defense and also I yell at them if they're all sucking/we're loosing =P

I use text because everyone on the team can't miss the bold yellow.

Re: Do you have a microphone?

I use VOIP in pretty much every round I play. It makes the game much more fun for me, and is probably a big part of why I have kept playing it as long as I have.

rather than the absolutel lack of any info about the speaker when using Ventrilo or TS.

Yea, that drove me nuts when I first started using TS too... We just use it for talking to admins and chatting between rounds though. But I still like to know who's talking so I use TeamSpeakOverlay while playing. It gives me a little display showing what channel I'm in and who is talking.. There's a few other options to show too, like a clock and FPS counter. The recent release is pretty stable, so if you've used it in the past and had troubles, then try this one out.

Mics make the game better

Re: Do you have a microphone?

I do use a mic. But only for teamspeak.

I've never used VOIP, it lags me out real bad for some reason, and I don't want to hear the whiny little kids, OMG i died again. my K/D this round is only 1, that's not very good.

Re: Do you have a microphone?

I own and use one, but I never use VOIP, I just use TeamSpeak and talk to people from the tournament I am in.

Re: Do you have a microphone?

I dont use voip even if im commander (i do all the ingame messages)

I dont really want to rave on to a 14yr old or some tard but this is bad and i should try one day

Re: Do you have a microphone?

I always introduce myself when joining a squad, 99% I don't get a response. It's like some people have turned VOIP off, bastards.

Re: Do you have a microphone?

A lot of people use Teamspeak or Ventrilo because the amount of people that can use it is barely limited and the voice quality is likely to be better.

I can see the VOIP lag issue, although I have never experienced it. However, the other reasonis just silly. Im a tough SQL so I kick out everyone I dont like, or who is wrecking the team. If a 11 year old starts yapping ****, so that the squad gets distracted, hes out, with an apology of course.

I use mic every time I have a squad that does. Mics really make this game great.
