Are people using VOIP?

[Qicmee]

Right now, with the game's VOIP often broken & unused, Skype or Teamspeak seem to be the only way to play as designed. Yes, since most squads play in silence, coordinated squads have an advantage.

If it's me, I'll either accept that I don't hear the conversations (won't know the difference) or I'll move to a different squad.

If the ingame VOIP worked as planned, there would be no reason to use outside apps. As it is, there seem to be a lot of bugs in the in-game VOIP, so it might be worth it to use TS, skype or vent. It is really only beneficial, though, if the entire squad uses it.

I use it. But in general i am playing with 3-8 people all the time and we are in Skype conference

Yeah same here but we use Steam chat since most of us are Steam buddies as well.

Speaking of steam have you been able to get more than two people chatting in steam at the same time.

I think people are so used to the failure that is VOIP in BC2 that most don't bother.

One evening with D&G was the 1st time anyone ever spoke on VOIP. I had to figure out which key it was so I could respond. We used it most of the round and it suddenly stopped working. SNAFU.

Sunday playing all I could hear of Cain and Duke was very garbled and cut up. Others said they could here them fine....

Seems odd because VOIP worked very well in BF2.

Yeah the VOIP is hot or miss. Sometimes the guys are clear then sometimes they are dropping every other word....

Then sometimes it just stops working..

You REALLY need Voip, and Apache NEVER reads typed messages!!

Don't worry about it Apache, I rarely read text chat either. It just gets me dead.
