    I Love It!

    its great if you are practicing for PAM4 mod, since you don't get a 3rd perk, and since eavesdrop is pointless, might as well put it there :P

        I actually find that most of the time the enemy types what they want done, and almost always fail to use Team type, so stuff will come up like everyone move behind the tank, or so and so is hiding here, etc. Works really great for me.

          Eavesdrop... :laugh:

          That perk is about as useful as a snowsuit in Africa. They should just replace it with something like "Reinforcements": it would give you, say... 20% more UAV time, 33% (in other words, one) more carpet bombing during airstrikes and 20% more time for the helicopter to do some damage.

          Seriously, it's completely useless on the PC platform.

            What an amazing idea.

            As for the topic I have never ever heard anyone use their mic on the PC version. So I think its pretty useless.

                  Eavesdrop is mostly useless on the PC, as most players use a 3rd party voice-comms system (like Teamspeak or Ventrillo). I'd like to see this one replaced sometime in the future.

                    Since I have rarely seen people use their mics, I never use this perk.

                      actually, i was in a local tourny last weekend and me and some friends entereed the arranged teams, and the rules made it so any voice chat had to be the VoIP. we ended up having at least one person use Eavesdrop. it was HC so all we had to do was press Esc and we could figure out where they were and somewhat where they were going. it became pretty handy, but other than a tournament situation, i think ists pretty useless

                      typing takes too long and its too hard to give complex instructions such as in clan scrims

                        I still think that it would be more usefull if you can tab into enemies TS/Vent... That would be killer in clan matches...

                            I use it in the Zombie Mod. I can hear where they be, and what they trying to do. Everyone chats in that mod.

                                well we dont have VOIP on our server, so it would be a bit stupid to use it, plus it is a crappy perk.
