had to press a button to talk......which for some of us who have trouble multi tasking can be a real pain lol
sometimes it's hard to understand people with below average mics
I used VOIP for over 2 years playing Crimson Skies, teamspeak was only one client. It can be used quite effectively to coordinate team play. There is a slight delay but changing what tactics you coordinate can overcome it.
Teamspeak also has the option for either "Push to Talk" or "Voice Activation". The problem with voice activation is for those who play with the speakers blaring, or yell and scream as they are going down in smoke (or the target) is it keys the mic and transmits which prevents others from using the airway to coordinate tactics.
The only real problems I have seen with VOIP is certain Canadian sound cards or Canadian operators...exactly which one was the problem was never discovered... :-4
Ancient weapons n hokie religions kid.......every lil bit helps!
