Question about VOIP-do you use it?

[<1sk>Headshot]

I like both. It depends on what mood I'm in. If I'm in a serious tactical squad and I want to have some layed back banter I'll make my own or join another. Vice versa. As long as there is talking I'm happy.

Quiet squad = bad squad in most cases.

Lol good selection of quotes waah_wah describes my SL skills perfectly

There are objectives to be done, and if it's something important to the game then I dont mess about "several hostiles 3o'clock north" "Hostile fire! support cover south, Squad evac due west" Nothing but business If its a situation like that, but it is good to mix it up occaisionally to make it all a bit more fun and interesting, youll also find your medic listen to you more if you invite them for doctors and nurses... worrying

Usually i'm all seriously, but I joke around alot.

VOIP is a must! Guys without it can go and play f****** vanilla

In my opinion voip is util when you are down because you can advise, say suggestion to SL noob and for vehicle couple.
I see some times people saying: "enemy tank! and they do not spotted it in GPS, or squads running around the map and they never doing nothing positive only ineffective strategies and a lot of Rally Points.
Personally I like play simple, at least in a public games.
Besides I think that a lot of people like me have not a good level of english and sometimes it can do this simple(following map orders) game complicated, this last is my problem I know .

since i too have friends that i play with regularly, we usually talk about real life and how we are made of win and gold!

[Raymond.Reiloff]

I make sure that my SL's given order is understood, inform my squad of visual contacts and since im often a medic i may ask if everyones ok. But between missions or in a non combat situation i enjoy people telling stories and chatting...
sometimes you get that REAL feeling when someone is telling a story and just before the point someone screams INCOMMING!!! and all hell breaks lose

[crudge]

im in a clan so we talk alot on TS.....we are sorta frinds so yeh we talk alot but when we have to we'll shut up and talk busniess

[lysander_atrull]

if we're not fighting I try and find out more about my squad.. once we're fighting I make sure it's purely related to the battle

I also use TS if a few clan members are leading other squads..

[baptist_christian]

and how much?

I tend to play the quiet,strong type and keep my communications to a minimum with a simple Yes/No (actually I say alright ,OK , gotcha or something like that) or call out contacts and focus on the game.

Some players tend to chatter on and on about various things (some game related , some not) making it more of a social event except I don't know them so can't really join in.

And what's your idea of a "fun game"?

Is it howling with laughter , joking around with other players and finally ending the round with a belly ache from laughing so hard...

or..

the squad pulled together , followed orders and completed the objectives.

Your opinions?

I always use voip. it makes BF2 and PRM infinitely more awesome. there's no way I could go back to PRM without voip now

[ir0n_ma1den]

this should be a poll.

and yes, always

[Clypp]

I've been known to kick people who do not use VOIP. I like strict rules on chatter.

Everything has to be related to: Where you are, where the enemy is, what kits and assistance are required and how we are going to proceed.

If I am not SL, I shut up unless addressing one of these issues.
