To efficiently use mumble:

Turn down Master Volume to about 15%
Turn up computer volume (headset)

win.

I'm not gonna say wich server but yesterday I joined the mumble channel of a PR server and both team were on the same channel talking with eachother... Seriously ? Big fail if you ask me. Use proper channels and I will consider using it. Until then vanilla VOIP will prevail.

Most likely, your positional audio was not on. When it is not on, you can hear everyone on both teams talking. This of course depends on whether the server has two separate channels for each team, or just one channel.

You have to realize that Mumble and VOIP are two different things. Mumble is mostly used for communication with players not in your squad or when you don't wanna clutter the main VOIP radio, etc. Whereas VOIP is only for people in your squad and the commander/SL.

In my recent experience, the overlay works with PB now, someone go confirm that for me. But it's huge! I bet you could turn that down somewhere in the settings.

One thing I don't like about the PR Mumble: There's no G15 program for it like there is the regular Mumble.

i just played a round on the TG server and i used mumble for the first time and it is AWSOME! there is absolutely NO reason not to use mumble. at the very least mumble only improves PR.

after playing with mumble, i believe mumble should be REQUIRED, not optional.

Good advice Brum - its very hard to hear in trucks/helis etc unless you turn BF2 effects right down.

Yeah there need to be more Reality Teamwork-esque servers. The EU server is full all the time!

Yes installation and setup could be easier, and finding your way around the channels can be a pain at first, but it will take you maybe 10 mins maximum to work it out :

A Guide to PR Mumble 0.5 - Reality Teamwork

If that guide doesn't help, then join the x-fire group in my sig, and message me (user: Space RT Admin)

We use mumble even if we are all in the same squad. When you hear the 3D voice you can instinctively know where your squadmate is and it's a great advantage during tough times.

I can't play PR serisouly without it. Most awesome thing to ever happen PR, and a big cookie to the RT server people.

Vanilla voip prevails? your doing it wrong. Mumble is COMPLETELY different from vanilla voip and they are not comparative.

Playing with mumble is great only when the whole team is on. Fortunately servers like RT reality teamwork really promote mumble and I enjoy playing on it whenever I manage to grab a spot.

Keep it up guys , and you others, wtf are you waiting? Fukin get mumble already!!

worth gold in mechanized infantry engagements

In 0.9 I have only played on RT. I tried some other server once, but left after 20 min or something, bacause I have been addicted to mumble. Squadleader radio and all. RT is the only server that forces mumble use.

For all of you that don't play here because it is always full, join the Reality Teamwork Community . You will get reminder message when the server is going to fill. RT has two servers so there is always enough space there.

I dont get what all the hype about mumble is...

The only thing that is good about mumble is that you can communicate with SLs from other squads and sometimes Squadmembers.

Most of the time it is used as stupid spam and giving away own positions to the enemy because both teams are in the same channel on nearly all servers.

Disadvantages mumble:
- spam (between games and during games saying like: "oh I got him" and similar things, just stuff nobody is interested in) Dont tell me I am on the wrong server it is the same on all of them.
- giving away position to enemy (people often complain that people use the commo rose but use mumble at the same time)

Advantages:
- talk to friendly SLs
- talk to other SM sometimes


My conclusion is that it is more annoying than helping me ingame.
I sometimes play with mumble but I enjoy playing without it more.

For me theres a milsim boost to positional audio, it just feels a bit more immersive when the people around you "talk". I also enjoy the positional audio in the Arma games. It may not always help you to get more kills, but it makes me a happy person

Definitive "meh".
