teamspeak really does work the best since i've used and admin'd all three a bunch but idk why everyone hates it and gets it confused with ventrillo

mumble is what most people use that I've found, but it has lovely voice equalization

also the overlay tends to break a lot for some people

THE PENETRATOR posted:

mumble is garbage. mumble is trash for idiots. team speak is good

Kazvall posted:

time to go against the grain and state that mumble is awesome and teamspeak sucks

ventrillo is just okay

well i guess its one of those 2 then. thanks all

TBH they are all OK, but ventrillo has those stupid loving icons instead of text buttons or anything like that.

Just use whatever and run both if you have to. Like setup more than one push to talk key or mute yourself, it's not that hard.

TS and Mumble both do what they're supposed to do for me but I'm only a user so I don't know if they're a pain to setup as a server owner.

Required by his programming!
mumble is retardedly simple but i've never adminned a TS server

all i can tell you is that i get 500x better quality out of mumble as opposed to TS, TS servers loving constantly have that one rear end in a top hat that sounds like he's in a washing machine and he insists there's nothing he can do about it. you occasionally get it in mumble as well but when you bitch at the guy he can just reset his audio input and it works again.

also the latency is noticeably lower when playing stuff like UT/quake where milliseconds matter. but i suppose if all you do is play garbage MMOs you won't notice a difference.

that happens because the server owner is a cheap bastard and has the channel bandwidth turned down extremely low. same thing happens in mumble but the mumble defaults are higher so most people never notice.

it def happens with server bandwidth at reasonable levels. interfacing with mics is legit a hard programming problem and any of a billion things can go wrong - it's not like the TS devs are idiots or anything but mumble just plain and simple handles mics pickup better.

yeah ill just use one and if it fucks up in some unfixable way ill just use the other. ive just never used any before so it seemed worth asking before i start messing with some clearly outdated poo poo or w/e

i play it sometimes. i havent played in a while. i like to played the ranked queue or w.e because it's the easiest way to find a 5v5 match but casual can be fun too.



really wish they'd just make an unranked competitive queue or something.

When you've lanned in a room with like 30 dudes all playing CS on a dedicated server, busting out sick verbal owns and spilling fountain soda all over the floor it's hard to go to some solitary boring rear end wait fest alone in my room.

I used to play competetive CS:S over my brand new cable internet connection back in 2006 or so. I thought I was a badass until it was my team's third or fourth tournament where we got absolutely annihilated in the qualifiers or the first round or whatever. We never even were eligible to enter a tournament with more than a $50 prize pool or so, let alone one with a physical LAN for matches.

Yeah I only ever did competitive DoD on Cal. I just worked at a LAN cafe for awhile during my late teens.

Yeah unranked competitive would be godly. I used to be gold nova something then I played 3 consecutive rounds with hackers on the other team and deranked to silver.

The idea of hacking, in a multiplayer FPS, is preposterous. What's the point of playing if the tool is doing it for you.
