Favorite in-game voice over IP


Recommended Posts

What's your preferred way of communicating in games via a headset? Ventrilo? Team Speak? Xfire? Steam? Something else?

The built-in VoIP in the two latest multiplayer Source games (Team Fortress 2 and Left 4 Dead).

I use that or if it's personal then the voice chat included in Steam.

Currently just use the in-game chat for TF2 although my clan really should invest in a ventrilo server or something :p I used to use Ventrilo a lot and that worked fine. Teamspeak is pretty good too.

Teamspeak quality is crap, and xbox live is the worst quality iv'e ever heard in my life, its terrible can't understand one word of what people say. Ventrilo is proberly the best client and its so cheap for servers.

I use Ventrilo mostly right now. Teamspeak used to be my true love, but the audio codecs are just to old. I'm looking forward to their codec upgrades in the next release though. I'll most likely switch our clan's server back once it goes live.

Ventrilo because it's easy to use. It's also got different channels you could use for different things. For example, one channel could be a World of Warcraft raid whereas another one could be a Counter-Strike match. Oh, and the quality is top-notch. Much better than in-game voice for just about any game.

Steam and Vent for other games.

I would use TS but like its been said, codecs are old. Ill probably go back to TS with the new update.

I like the layout of TS over ventrilo.

Vent is what I use the most, since the only PC game I ever play anymore is WoW.

What irks me is that they have perfect built-in voice functionality that nobody uses. I just don't understand it.

For me, Skype is the best program. We used to use TeamSpeak, but that just fell through for some reason, so we turned to Skype. There's only ever 3 or 4 of us on with voice chat, so it's perfect. :)

Built in one for TF2 / Left 4 Dead. Built in for UT3 as well, but probably going to switch over to Vent soon seeing as how the UT3 chat is implemented VERY poorly.
