how do you prefer to use VOIP? - Page 2

Griffon2-6 · 02-28-2007, 07:10 PM

I don't know if I come across as casual, but I do have senses of urgency, it's not like I don't care about what I'm playing. I've never met anyone that says things like "Yeah man, there's a squad in that place to my left *turns around randomly*."

I guess my policy in general is to type out of character chatter (chatter that refers to the battlefield as part of a game, things about lag and spawn points and such) and say everything else on VOIP (unless the whole team needs to hear it).

that's part of the fun IMHO hehehehe

I agree. I sometimes get mildly freaked out when I start bleeding because the game does such a good job of conveying the experience of slow death by blood loss. I don't scream into VOIP "HELLLLP! I'M BLEEDING! SAVE ME JESUS/ALLAH/BUDDHA/MODERN MEDICINE! I HAVE A FAMILY!", but I like to say something like "I'm bleeding over here! I need a medic NOW!"

I usually have a sense of urgency in my voice when playing PR, but I dont go in for the whole ultra realism thing.

i agree im not a big fan of people who are extremely casual, like for example, your in an APC column and a VBIED is coming right behind you, and theyre like 'yea, i think i see a car and its coming behind us' **BOOOOOOOOM** *2 APC are smoldering wrecks*
'why didnt you say anything sooner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'

'oh i dunno'

lol

I think it's weird how people download this mod and don't even know what overwatch means, for instance. I wouldn't expect EVERYONE to know every single military term from all the FMs but the amount of people who don't know basic combat related terms is kinda dissapointing.

Sometimes I can actually watch people hesitate if I ask them to "provide overwatch at the next corner" or "hold cover here." Their little soldier character will look up down left and right while their brains try to decipher the meaning of my command.

Or if you really want to throw people for a curve try to orient enemy positions in relation to the compass. You know... "enemy approaching from the north-west!"

"where?"
"north-west!"
"where's that?"
"probably north-west you mother fucker"

And then others don't want to actually obey commands they just want a guy they can spawn off of. The joys of online gaming.

It's funny.. I talk a lot in PR VOIP. But I hate it when people talk in CSS, probably because it's usualy a 12 kid with a high voice or a 46 year old guy who is taking the game way too seriously.

I love the polls. They always show such recognizeable statistical forms. Here we have a nerd-skewed standard bell curve.

Mainly, I'd like to see a bit of teamwork, not too much "Role-playing" but teamwork. Such as noting enemies, and communicating. Excitement is alright, but nothing like... retarded. Am I contradicting myself?

Also, speaking clearly or atleast loud enough would be something nice too. *shrug*
Guess I should've checked the option that said "some enthusiasm"

I don't know.

I had one guy in my squad in Al Basrah, Rapaski was his name I think. The guy was HILARIOUS and a good co-op player.

Just casual jokes here and there.
