    Are people using VOIP?

    I haven't heard a peep from the servers I've been playing on.

    Has anyone heard people using VOIP?

    #2
    Yes! But results are mixed. My VOIP transmissions have always failed, so I stopped trying. Many other players have always had success.

    My opinion? If I'm squading with people I know, I always like hearing somebody coordinate the squad (even though I need to type my response). More often, I'm in a squad of random players. Random squad mates usually respond to the instant requests for ammo, rides, etc., but that's not as much fun as planning our next tactical move.

    Theory: If only one or two people on a squad can talk, it's natural for the lack of feedback to feel like negative feedback. The talker begins to wonder if anybody can or wants to hear him. This gradually nudges everybody into silence, as you've noticed.

      I'm sure if VOIP is enable on many of the servers due to is sporadic use. I played at a friends clan server one night and they use Vent so they don't use the in game voip which makes it tough when you have public people in there.

        I was just in a game last night and at least 2 of the guys in the squad was doing great using VOIP. We pretty much rocked in capturing and defending the objectives. VOIP makes a world of difference for coordinating offensive and defensive maneuvers

                          I'm playing with 3-6 player I know and have played in years with, and we are using TS2 and TS3
                          Almost all the time other players call us cheaters, only because we works as a team and not as one man

                            Tell. them that. If they are too stupid to work as a team they need to realize its not a lone gunman type of game.

                              I have a question, Is there any advantage to use skype or Teamspeak? I've used teamspeak before in COD4 but I always feel like people who are using those programs alienate other people from the chats.
