<div class="IPBDescription">Use voice.</div> im serious. if you dont have a mic, don't com. if you don't have a mic, follow someone who does. if you dont have a mic, go to radio shack with 15 bucks and get a good headset. i use two headsets, the mic headset around my neck and my sennhiesers around my ears <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'> . also:

bind your fourth mouse button to mic if you can. if not, bind numpad 0. numpad 0 is perfect for commanding, as i use the numpad for my commanding. wewt. also: if you are playing a serious game, try not to spam the voice channels. but make sure you advise your commander of your tactical position if its important.

I see your point about the mike, but I am a voiceless comm and have a pretty good record in the CC. The mike would just give me an excuse to yell

"Holy Jumping Jesus Marine! WTF are you doing?!"

Serriously the comm only needs to make minimal communications such as telling people to stay put, the rest he can do with WP.

Doombringer · November 2002

I agree. I'd use voice comm as a regular player but I always run into connection problems when I transmit. :/

And yes, do not spam the voice comm. I was in a game where one player decided to chat with his friend about everything from "How did you get admin on this server?" (which was a 5 minute conversation) to "What's the weather like there?" This isn't Netmeeting, it's NS! Play now, chat later!

here is the score:

i run at 1600x1200 on a 22" monitor. i sit WAY back from the screen cause of eyestrain. usually reading stuff takes a bit of time cause of that. plus you are undefended while typing.

Still... dont' expect allt he people to be rich and can pay for their own mic for their system...

You can either tone down your resolution or just try to type faster

or use the console to reread <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'>

Besides, sometimes people can't use mic due to numerous reasons such as the whole house is asleep or they were playing secretly...? <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'>

My mic was 8.50 at Comp USA <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='tounge.gif'> On the other hand, 1600x1200 is excessive. We try to stay with in the limits of decency here.

Mindmeldme · November 2002

I use a mic...weather commanding or going grunt. Doesn't matter to me I feel everyone should, it's just faster and easier to communicate. Makes it easier to yell at times but...still...as a commander you really should have one, if for no other reason then so it's easier to command your troops. I tried doing mad typing Once....and only once...never again

if you have semi-competent team mates who know what's going on, it works without voicecom

only gets tedious if you have to babysit them

Agreed. If the Grunts know whats up, the comm just has to tell them minimal things i use stuff like (HOLD HORSE, HOLD SOUTH LOOP, HOLD TRIAD) (GO TO WP) easy and fast, nothing more needs to be said, if you have to yell at your men to get them to do basic stuff its prolly over anyway

supadupafly · November 2002

i got a headset of my dad sometimes ago and i started to use it like yesterday or something..
i like it.. i don't use it so much, but sometimes it's handy...

but i hate thoose that overuse it... like on one server i was on there was 3 guys.. especially one that was complaining on the comm and calling him **obscenity** and that he sucks etc...they did it all the time... after a while i went away from the server.
and you can't speak on the same time someone else is speaking.. offcourse you can, but it sounds all **obscenity** up

nthing · November 2002

Does anyone else but me find that the voice comm in NS is a little buggy and the clarity is pretty awful compared to other mods...

The majority of people I can't understand in NS, where as other mods it's the majority of people I can understand perfectly...

There are a few people I've met who I could understand, but not many... and it bugs me that you cant mute in NS too...

SnappleS · November 2002

Mics are SO helpful. If you don't have one, get one.

GreyPaws · November 2002

Ohh man no mute REALLY pis ses me off sometimes its sooooooo bad, listening to a moron spam the mic

tleng · November 2002

Yeah I have a problem with my mic. It works fine in other mods but in NS the sound is distorted. I think its a problem with the ping because for some reason my ping can be 200+ even though I have cable and I get around 50 ping in other games.

Injury · November 2002

My microphone is about.. six years old and in perfect working condition. Don't be too harsh on commanders without voicecom, a number of them can command effectively. I do concede that voicecom allows you to react and do your job more efficiently, giving your team a slight advantage. NS is more dependant on voicecom than other mods it would seem and that seems to be the clincher. But even without voicecom if you eject your commander you might miss out on a good game.

P.S. I take it you've met Drew, the singing sensation of NS?

Cay · November 2002

the only down side to the mic is the kid who hasnt had his balls drop squeeling every 6 seconds gimme mine! or AMMO or some **obscenity**. if you sould like someone shoved a hellium canister up your **obscenity** kindly use the type chat.

That is exactly why I hate the fact that the only way to shut people up is 'voice_enable 0' as you can't bloody mute for some insane reason! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'>

Also when you get people playing the Knight Rider Theme over voice comm or some other annoying tunes.. rofl... or when they are so crackly it hurts your ears and when you tell em to shut the hell up they just keep talking! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'> We need mute so badly

ShingyBoy · November 2002

Mic certainly helps a commander but it doesn't make a good one u can not av a mic and be a good commander, playing alot as a commander certainly helps coz of the experience tho if u av a mic or u dont try a script of some sort to make life easier so things can be binded to keys to make u do things alot faster instead of moving the mouse all over the screen `n stuff tho it that kind of thing poses a problem if u want to become alien or marine instead of a commander so u can either plan to be one while aving about 3 scripts or try and make un or get un which switchez in game i personally use The Hornets Script Which Does All That
