I think this is self explanatory, someone was making obnoxious noise on microphone and would not stop, since I wear headphones this was killing my ear drums and was ridiculously annoying I had to stop playing....no to mention i don't want immature kids ruining my nice 200$ headphones....

    And institute a default votekick command (like the one in L4D2). Someone who is micspamming should be kicked/banned, not just muted.

    And more importantly add the steam community/source game mic bar showing who's talking.

    They had this thing with skulk-rushing our base heavy from the start so we couldn't establish ips, and also the usual nonstop lerk gas+spike spam of our base as soon as they could, and lastly the structure blocking of the base exits and eventual fades+skulks coming in to take out equipment etc. Additionally they were dropping all the other hives just seconds into the game which made a early expansion impossible. So like 10-15? games like this in a row, varying in length (some barely a minute), but were consistently just lvl-1 rifles vs the full-capabilities of the alien team.

    I think it was at the end of one of the longer hopeless rounds that someone joined the alien team with an intent to whistle them to death. It actually worked because we started to win, and it was probably because their best players were raging. Sort of reminds me of that movie "Mars Attacks" lol.

I would also say the only time we started to gain any territory was thanks to the whistling which was either impairing the aliens ability to think or it was because their best players were raging. :P<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

    mute option would be great, as for kick - these usually get abused somehow. Mute seems more reasonable, and something usually every game normally has. I say make thread in the suggestion section.

    Haha Yeah we were all in the same game, That guy wouldnt stop, and on my 200$ headphones the frequencies coming through were unbearable.(not to mention the the voice sound was much louder than game sound)

    and yeah it should show who's talking but I'd assume that would be a necessity to know who too mute...

    Those rounds sucked. We just continuously fought to the death round after round, doing most of that dieing in marine start, the sort of masochism the TSA-marines are legendary for!! xD

    you must be one of the kids that likes to hear themselves talk and just trolls forums without providing any-kind of useful post/information or anything too add of value what so ever.


    Screeching ultra high frequency noises is not good for any speakers, or my ear drums. And go ###### yourself.

    He said "<b>we</b> started to win", so through basic conjecture, he must have remained on the marine team.

    well, if a person were so upset at the tactics of the opposing team that he switched teams in order to grief, i imagine he would still refer to his original team as "we" since even though he was technically "on" the opposing team, he was still acting on behalf of the original team.

    zex i did not leave my team and i did not whistle at the alien team. The idea of using whistling as a method of griefing doesn't make any sense to me and neither does the way the alien team reacted to this. Maybe they were a bunch of uptight players that were very easily driven insane by the sound of someone whistling, but who could of even predicted that reaction. For all we know it was some random player that started to whistle and didn't stop because someone, or maybe many people?, told him to stop.

    Individual muting via the scoreboard (which indicates who is presently talking, and stores the preference for that user's steam id), like in ns1, is the best possible way to deal with it. Sometimes people are annoying but that doesn't by itself warrant a kick/ban if they are playing the game. Just shut them off individually and make it so they have to type things out rather than speak and if they actually want to play the game they'll learn to respect the ability to communicate via voice.

    Mr. Epic is right, let the players handle those mutes for individually for each player on the server, and save that mute for future encounters with those muted players.
    Best practice.
