Voice Comms or Team Speak?

[Gorf]

You can mute the voice comm's mike, you know. That being said, I'd also chose TS any day.

Yeah - but it's either push to mute or mute always. I prefer push to talk.

To each his own opinion, I suppose.

I've now set up and used team speak and voice comms. I enjoy the voice comms and I don't think they sound terrible at all. I used to be a private pilot and can say that it does simulate actually using a radio, although it may be a bit too "spacey/NASA" sounding. With that said, I've still only used them about 10 times. For the casual user I think it's definitely the way to go. Assuming a random player you meet even has a mic, at least they won't have to have installed another program. But if you are heavily into wings or just want to be in the chat rooms all the time you are playing, which isn't me, then team speak is a must.

I just don't think it's fair to say A is 100% crap and B is 100% best. Now, if voice comms didn't work, which I believe didn't work reliably for a long while, that would be another matter. But since they both work, it's just a matter of your requirements and tastes.

Wise words and quite correct.
My kids only use Skype for their gaming VoIP. When I ask them why, I get a raised eyebrow as a reply.
Oh well...

Can't tell if clever answer or typical teenager.

If there's one thing we don't get on TS and VC, it's body language.

The only issue with TeamSpeak that bothers me is "Open Mic'ers"

I tend to mute them. Push to talk or configure your mic properly, I don't want to hear you eating crisps or your S.O. Yelling at you about being on that damn game when the grass needs cutting.

Sorry, just had to be said.

If thy are gonna eat and TS, they need to sort me a cheese and onion crisp sandwich! (Walkers only)

Only Brits understand this!
