how do you prefer to use VOIP?

[puglous]

I might be alone here, but for some reason this annoys me to no end. That is, when you are playing in a squad with VOIP and people are talking like they're smoking pot, half asleep, or both. I'm aware that's a condition a lot of BF2 players may find themselves in, but I still wish people would be a bit more spirit during battle when using VOIP. It totally kills the mood when people are saying things like "*Yawn* Hey dude...uh...like, enemies to the West and *yawn* stuff...............[they finally release their finger on the VOIP key after about a minute]" while bullets are wizzing by my head.

Now, I don't go as far as role-playing in Project Reality (you know, screaming about Allah when you are the Insurgents or anything like that), but there's usually a sense of desperation in my tone. Even so, I wouldn't mind role-playing, as long as people didn't yell blood curdling screams into their mic every time they died.

I'd like to hear your oppinions, though. Is the way people speak on VOIP an issue for you, and if so, what kind of communication style do you like the most?

i honestly cant say... i suppose it depends what mood im in, if im relaxed i dont really care how relaxed others are its ok, sometimes when i want to win (the team to win not come 1st) i get a little annoyed but then its only for 1 round...

I always run my mouth off on VOIP, I don't care, if someone has a problem with it they can tell me to stfu or kick me out of their squad.

I have no sound so i dont speak on VoIp, or hear anyone on it.

But when i do i usually speak, casually, with my british acccent

(apparently i sound like a North London Rapist! lol)

[[R-DEV]fuzzhead]

i usually yell a whole lot and lots of swearing lol

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'm inclined to believe that isn't a coincidence.

Anyway..

I'm happy as long as people even use VoIP, so it really doesn't matter to me.

Well, I'm happy to see people share my views. I have a feeling if I posted this on a Vanilla BF2 forum a lot of posts would just be "it a gaem who cares OMGWTFLOL!". Now if only I could find you guys on those servers...

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.

it all depends, but i dont wana bunch of weirdos making dieing sounds when they get shot because i would give them hell for doing such a ridiculous thing.

but if spot a sniper or something and then shoot him in the chest with a shotty slug and he doesnt die i will get pretty irate and shout a profanity or 2. then usually whoever says something next over voip, if it is stupid enough, i wll give them shit for it sense i am wrathful at that time.

and how do you play without sound!!!!!!!!! thats 3/4 of the game! you must be running some extremely ghettoooooo ass rig

[luizinhuu]

i get so desperated when a grenade makes its way on our bunker, i scream on voip like "GRENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADE"
that's part of the fun IMHO hehehehe
