how do you prefer to use VOIP?

[puglous]

Even better is:
AHHH! IM ON FIRE!! SAVE ME BABY JESUS! SAVE MY TOM CRUSE! USE YOUR WITCHCRAFT! HELP ME OPRA WINFRY!

Thanks to Molotov Cocktails being in the game, we may hear someone say that.

PR has its share of young'uns though. Way back in like .2 or .3 I once was in a squad where the sqaud leader sounded like some pre-pubescent 11 year old. The funny thing was he would give us orders over VOIP and was *totally* serious. He was like "Go attack this area Fishw0rk, AND THAT'S AN ORDER!!!!!!" I swear to God hearing some 11 year old kid tell me that seriously was too muhc for me to handle. I literally fell outta my chair laughing my ass off. I never heard a kid so serious.

Funny thread. When I'm on VOIP, I'm normally serious and quite enthusiastic to communicate in an organized fashion (Though not at an ultra-realism level)

I do remember some annoying kid who kept repeating everything anyone said on VOIP.

I dont talk to much - or at least try to. But if anyone is in a squad in which they do not like because someone is VOIPing too much, they can always leave. Its not like they get locked-in the squad.

I rarely use VOIP (always have it on, I do like to communicate, but rarely talk), but when I do, it IS a game. So I'm probably one of those people who says "There's uhh... guys coming from the west, defend south vcp...uhh, I just got sniped, I think it was from the north"

Maybe if I had some private gaming room, I might show some more enthusiasm, but I don't, I live with a roommate, and I know if I heard him yelling crap, I'd be pissed.

CONTACT NORTH WEST!

ROGER!

EDIT: I'll admit, sometimes role-playing can go to far, like when people need a realistic way to communicate certain inconvience:

Squad member 1: "The enemy has some kind of secret weapon, they're disrupting the flow of time!"
Squad member 2: "What?"
Squad member 1: "Time is flowing in irregular patterns, the world is become stagnant for prolonged periods, and its hindering my ability to fight effectively!"
Squad member 2: "....what?"
Squad member 3: "He's saying he's lagging."
Squad member 1: "Oh"

Sometimes a "realistic" explaination for problem you're encountering is just so stupid its better to admit you're playing a game, even if role-playing is fun.

LMAO, I loved this.

When playing, I like a bit of realism, but certainly some kind of urgency if bullets are heading my way.

I don't really understand why this is an issue. When I use the mic, I use it to tell my squadmates where the other team is. Whether they are flanking, retreating, or setting up shop two blocks down, that simple. I am not going to get worked up about it, especially when in a convoy.

I admit, I don't really want to talk or listen to a guy who doesn't have a clue what is going on. Especially a person who holds the mic down like the longer he holds the more points he gets, or someone who simply says "Oh watch it,...yea right there...wait over here....dude look out!... Yea...Nice job....shit..." and never actually elaborating on what he meant(often getting me killed).

So long as you speak clearly and intelligently I don't give a damn how high or low your vocal patterns are to signify spiritual enthusiasm or pot-headed spatial awareness. Say what you need to say and get the hell out of my way, I'm trying to shoot.

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

LOL. I think the key word in enthusiasm - with out htat, a squad is lifeless and a damn miserable place to be in. I play PR to have a laugh and if it means just fcking about or being totaly deadly serious - i will do it both.

But from personal experience Fuzz, i find it far more enjoyable to:
a) predict peoples deaths any where up to 1 min in advance, basicly if some one does something slighly dangerous e.g drives/walks but is exposed to say a side/buidlign where you know there are ofen enemies, you say they are going to die and try to say how.
Then you can absolutely rinse them after wards!
b) Just before the vehicle you are in might blow up, Shout 'BOOM', super loud and quick, funny cos there are so many situations that are near misses for life and death but so many where you cant to sht to avoid death, so you might aswell jke about for you pss away.......
