This was brought up in another post.

How many people would want to use Voice Com while playing? That's for classes, games, etc.

Mics are inexpensive, the software is free.

Why should our government send our soldiers to foreign soil to protect freedom of speech, when our freedom of speech is being taking away everyday by the same government.

Ppl can be silenced on the voicecomm, or simply unplug the microphone. Our clan uses teamspeak for this, and it works flawlessly even if we've got high pings to each other.

How many people at the Academy are interested in using voice? I think it would be absolutely perfect for classes! It becomes difficult and tedious to go through lectures while trying to give examples, etc etc. Unfortunately, I think in the case of classes, students would have to keep quiet, so as not to interrupt. Maybe they could continue simply typing questions?

What does everyone think of that? I think I may need to buy a mic.. lol

if we would do it, we should use roger wilco :)
it doesnt take much system resources or bandwith, so maybe it could be set up on the KS server or something :)

I'm definately up for a trial voice class. What software do you think would be best?

I used to use Roger Wilco for Delta Force 2, it worked really well.

Time to find out who sounds like a 9 year old girl!

I already have a microphone, and the software is free. What's not to like? :D

If it doesn't affect my ping or bog my machine down, I'm all for it!!!

Anyone have a link to d/l the software?

You need a certain number of people who have full gamevoice to have more people join. I have the full version.

I’m all for listening to people but I have to agree with chicka. If I had to talk, I would be far less flirtatious :eek:

Jace, let us know if you really are going to do a voice class as a test. I would love to attend. It’s just that I usually can’t go to your classes (time diff and all.)

I made some attempts to run a Gamevoice server while playing but peeps never got in to it.

The only actual class where we used it was on the last Knights class. And I made most of the talking.

I also used Roger Wilco with Acidic some times, great fun.

If you want to have a go with it contact me and I'll try to run a voice only test class.

I have been using Battlecom for 3 years in mechwarrior 4 league play and I honestly think the bandwith it uses is negligible. Back when people started using it you could tell which teams had it and which teams didn't. No voice coms = no teamwork(unless we're talkin 2 vs 2)

It helps to have someone run the dedicated server(maybe run a BC server right on the classroom server? you can make channels so that different classes don't have to listen to eachother)

Don't think so, YY. You gotta have voice software to send AND receive.

Chicka - you want fries with that?

I'd have no problem for it when i hold some german classes. Or you can all take a crash course in german and i'd be happy to use any voice chat. No seriously i think it's a rather good idea, if your bandwidh can support it and all use it. If there is one guy in the class without voice thingy he won't do any good there.

I used RW back in my tribes playing days. CTF NEEDS voice chat. :)

I dunno... if I were to be on a mic I wouldn't be 0.10 the flirt I am now, and would probably log right off when certain people log on that I've been excessively flirtatious with, tee hee... What can I say, I'm horribly shy! That and ya'll are psycho axe-murderers that want nothing else but to come to my house and kill me... right?... scary internet....
