BF2S Forums Is it worth buying a Mic?

I rarely use a mic on bf2 voip. i tend to use my clans ventrilo. Basically i dont normaly use my mic unless playing with m8s, so if u play with ur m8s its good to have a mic (on any map)

I have a standalone mic thats about 10 years old, its a crappy beige one but it works a treat

1 word.... Yes

Well thats only if ur in a clan and use TS or Vent, bf2 ingame voip is kinda lame ass... The only thing its ever done for me is fix the echo i was getting in TS... dont ask why, coz i dont know.

yes if u want a good squad. plus u can skype ppl

if u want a headset get the logitech presicion... bit pricy but good, or get any logitech mic theyre all pretty good

I have a mic that I got with a flight sim ages ago, never used it.

I have VOIP disabled in BF2, I just don't feel like using it. Plus, I feel like a right twat wearing it.

+1 karma for u since i find u a good man. get a logitech

I don't use the mic often but it is handy at times when teamwork is really at play.

Yup a mic is a major plus...

IMHO it's one of the major advantages, I generally try to switch around between the squads until I get some decent communication.

It's really amazing what a group of 4 people can do on mic.

Or at the begining of a round type: squad 3 for mics and teamplay

On a 32 player map you generally get 2 people to join almost right away, if you havn't already done so enable VOIP it's not great but its what most people use.

It also helps your commanding, personally I believe this is a must. I love when a commander tells people where the enemy is via voice.

While commanding, A defend here mouse click just doesn't seem to be as effective as, "Hey squad 2 someones running up on your flag from north. Can you take him out?"

or

"Hey tank dude, there is a humvee crossing the river can you take him out"

Followed by a spot and a "thanks m8" if he complies.

There is just so much you can tell people by voice faster than you can with the keys.

Hope to see you all on voip

A mic is like $5 or $10 and WELL worth it.

Its totally worth it, just most people use TeamSpeak or some other VIOP service.

aye if you want we could put you on trial and then you could join our clan...if your interested check out http://www.diedlaughing.tk

No way would I play without a mic now that I've gotten use to it. Find a good squad of guys and you can get info across much easier. Make sure you bind your mic key to something handy that you can use while running and aiming else you will feel a bit hampered sometimes. Also if you use a joystick, bind mic to one of your left hand buttons so your right hand can continue flying.

If you have a mic, please don't spam pointless crap, sing horrible music when your squad asks you to shutup, or yell and scream every death that "that was bullshit" etc. A few times is ok, but when you are annoying everyone I am more likely to kick you as a squad leader if you don't know how to use your mic. Don't be childish

Edit: Oh yea a good mic will cost you only like 15 bucks so there's really no reason not to have one. Check the frequency response on the back paper of the package to make sure it has a good range - sometimes they sell really junky ones, and sometimes they advertise frequency responses that are out of the audible range (e.g. they just wana put big numbers on the package lol) - both are a waste. Get something in the 2K or 5Khz to 20KHz range.
