Voice comms

Pretty good to start that early cause it would be a big hassle if people start trying to set it up in the middle of the lan party. Like what program, program and server settings. So what proggy should be used?

IMHO Ventrilo would be a good once since it's much easier to set up (atleast for me), free, and the quality is really good. You cna create rooms/sides/teams too. If anyone wants to try it... Link

It would be good for games like Battlefield 1942.

Exactly. Why on earth do we need voice comm when we're practically sitting next to our team-mates?

Black Hawk wants to whisper sweet nothings into his teammates ears.

It's not quite like that.... The layout is such that people will be in seperate areas and seperate rooms.. Voice comms might not be such a bad idea.

For people that go to alot of lan parties to play tactical games and stuff, voice comms are very usefull. I guess you guys just suck.

Well I dont know how big the office is but 42 people on computers is a lot of area. Well think of it like 3 people per 6 chair table. Thats ohhh say 14 of those tables.

Agreed. I'll dl and setup whatever is needed if thats what we want. Although it kind of ruins me for buying those Zalmans

Usually, I've found that in games where most players are experienced, all that gets said are enemy positions. Everyone generally knows what to do beyond that.

I've never used any program like Roger Wilco.... but I've played against a few players that used it and THEY KICK MY BUTT.... Much easier to coordinate stratagy.

I would have to vote for the free program, since I do not LAN often.

I guess I'll make a small guide or something later on for Ventrilo cause it's a program I know how to set up.

I guess if everyone else uses it (a voice comm program), I'll use one too.

I'll use whatever's free.

I'll...I'll strap a headphone to my head with a rubber band because my sennheisers don't need no microphone.

Or I'll just yell at my teammates from across the room. Much better.

If you did that, then your teammates would have to repeat everything to you, cause the rest would be using this software thingy.

Hell, I dont even like CS...

Hmm... if that turns out to be the concensus I guess I'll have to get a microphone.
