Vinh Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 Any gamers around that use voice to chat while gaming?? Me and a friend are playing warcraft and currently we use msn voice chat when playing warcraft to communicate with each other. I heard roger wilco is good but it doesnt have like a quality control? how much data does roger wilco or msn use like in average an hour, bandwidth? Anyone know any other programs that can compress sounds and quality so it dont hurt too much in download/upload limit :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxxCon Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 try Skype. i don't kow if you can make it to work at the same as game and i don't know it's bandwidth usage...but it has much better voice quality there is also TeamSpeak, it's "maximum bandwidth won't exceed 25.9 KBit/s (=3.3 KB/s) upstream" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaredVolkl Posted November 24, 2003 Share Posted November 24, 2003 My group of friends at school use TeamSpeak. We've just got one of our Linux servers running it and we all connect. Works like a charm over our LAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caelamia Posted November 28, 2003 Share Posted November 28, 2003 I've used all 3 of those mentioned. Skype I would say is best for just chatting outside of games, but it wins by miles in the clearness / crispness of sound. Teamspeak 2 isn't too bad. There are some times when the servers go down though, and you're kinda stuck (dunno what server I was on, but it happened 3 times in a week). My UT clan used to use TS2, but we've moved onto using Ventrilo now. You get a text chat system with it, and can also add comments onto the end of your name. It's far better for in-game chat ... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
