USB Head Set Required with SF for VOIP (Squad/Commander talk)

[s|k]

EDIT: NEVERMIND YOU DON'T NEED IT.

On vanilla BF2 you only needed a headset:

Voice over IP supported with headset.

(last key feature on that page).

With SF, however you need a USB Headset:

Voice-over IP supported with USB headset

http://www.eagames.com/official/battlefield/specialforces/us/features.jsp

(last key feature on there too)

So now you know why your squad can't hear you.

Maybe this should be made a sticky so that people will see this.

Umm I pushed B to talk, opened my mouth, moved my tongue and spoke Seriously though you had me doubting myself so I double checked it, it works fine for me. Everyone I spoke to heard me ok and I have a plug in standard headset

Re: USB Head Set Required with SF for VOIP (Squad/Commander talk)

Well all this came about because me and s|k we trying to play a game together and I could not get my headset working whatsoever and I was trying everything I could to get it going and it was concluded that the USB headset requirement was the cause so we went to xfire and started using that to communicate but for whatever stupid reason my mic started working IN-GAME too...without even messing with any settings or anything. It's just a ploy made up by the man to get you to buy an expensive USB headset!

Re: USB Head Set Required with SF for VOIP (Squad/Commander talk)

Yeah we got it to work without the USB head set. Sorry!

Hehe, well based off the reference material you quoted, coupled with your troubles, I can see what lead you to this presumption. No harm done :)
