[bob4432]

[pkananen]

[bob4432]

Yup.

TS works regardless of whatever game you might be playing. It's entirely independant. And you should give Ventrilo a try as well. It's MUCH clearer than TS, at least in my experience.

I used to use TS all the time for Q3 games, it's one of the few clients that has a Linux port.

It works well, but I prefer Ventrilo.

 

[SilverTorch]

TS is great.
Actually heard of people using it while playing a game on a 56k

A few friends and I use TS to chat while playing BF:1942/DC and UT2k4. It works really well for us.

Another vote for ventrilo here. Just try and get the older versions, because they don't have as many restrictions. The newest versions restrict it to run on the default port, and my ISP blocks that port.

My quake 3 clan and I use it often, works great.

Use it, and dont have one bad thing to say about it.

My friends and I use it when playing BF:V, and it works well, but I DO have one complaint....

For some reason, when BF:V changes maps, my computer has about an 80% chance that TS will go all static (for those hearing me. I can hear them no problem), and I will have to switch out of BF:V and actually close TS completely, restart it, and rejoin the server before the problem is fixed.

Only one of the other guys has had this happen, and only once. It happens to me almost every map change, and it's really aggrevating. I've done some swapping of versions on the client and server, and the codecs, trying to find a solution, but nothing so far. I really only mentioned this incase someone has a solution.

Easier to host a TS server, but Ventrillo has better voice quality (not by much but deffinitaly better)

Teamspeak

 

[Schadenfroh]

yes, me and my clan use it every night

 

[Pandamonium]

Back in the day of TRIBES, Roger Wilco was the way to go. Mark IIC was the free version.

Is it easy to setup a TS session between two people?

 

[bob4432]

thanks for all the info, i d/l both and will try them both out

 

[phrozenfire]

I prefer Ventrilo much more than Teamspeak myself.

Well, you have to have a server to run the TS server program. Then you would both connect to that server

 

[bob4432]

which codecs have you found have the best quality vs bandwidth? thanks

 

[hdeck]

i like ventrilo better

 

[bob4432]

for those that like one over the other, could you please give a reason?

thanks

The sound quality of Ventrilo is noticeably clearer to me, especially when more than one person is speaking at once.

Yeah I figured it out last night :thumbsup: It wasn't too difficult, just downloaded the server and ran it on one machine... two clients later and we were up and running n gunning in Red Orchestra. And man, that auto-activation mic feature is cool as h*ll, does Ventrilo have it as well?
