I use vent, only because the voice quality is better, and also because TS screws up my bf2 and gives me massive ping spikes

I use TS and Skype,but it seems to me that Skype makes me lag more.

TS all the way, so easy to use.

Skype causes more lag and lower frame rates because it is a more demanding, dedicated VOIP software not designed for gaming.


Hope this helps.

TS user here. I like the fact that there is no latency at all when someone says "Watch out!" for example. I get voice latency in Vent.

Well Soldiers this seems that you all use varying programs to perform operational duties,

so I am still not sure what program will give me optimal performance :: What speed broadband do you have ? is lag apprent when using these programs ?

Vent is best for voice quiltiy

Teamspeak is better imho (no lag spikes for me)

Skpye is the shits only max 4 users i think

Voip is very poor but it is handy on servers if somebody joins your squad and  i can give them the teamspeak details .

Smoke signals work best, no lag spikes.

^^lol^^
i go wit ts2. since vent has better sound quality, its more demanding in terms of bandwith. i go with teamspeak because it uses less resources. i dont mind voice quality as long as i can hear the person and vice/versa

Teamspeak.  Xfire is decent but not as easy to use.

Really? I get massive lag when im sending smoke signals, one time the lag was so bad that the blanket caught on fire, which really confused the smoke message i had been sending, which was "enemy spotted". "enemy spottemslxwah"? what the hell could that mean? Then I passed out from smoke inhalation.

smoke signals!
I use ventrilo AND TS (not at the same time). With ventrilomix (I have version 0.5 now) you have both at once, pretty easy.

It's different for everyone, go and get:

Teamspeak RC2: Goteamspeak.com
Ventrilo: Ventrilo.com
Skype: Skype.com

Pro's and Con's:

Teamspeak may or may not lag your battlefield 2, I'm not sure why but it depends on who's running it, nothing else. not even your computer specs (my clanmate has 6 gigs of ram and can't run TS and BF2 at the same time, too much lag. however, i have a computer that's half of his and i can run it fine) TS is reliable, and it doesnt cost much for a server.

Ventrilo may be harder for those who are new to it to get used to, I know I had a touch time transitioning from TS to Vent, but once you get past that, you're golden. Again, doesnt cost much for a server, although some people might not prefer vent because of insane lag spikes that occur, pings that top 12k and so on.

Skype: A great benefit of Skype, for those clans that don't have a big ol' piggybank, is that it's free to create a "server" (in Skype's case, it's called a Conference, and you can have up to Ten people in it.) There is less lag (aka your words are heard and recieved faster) and it's very simple to use. However, some downfalls of the program are that you cannot mute your microphone, there arent different "channels" for users to go into like w/ Vent and TS, and there is no "Push to Talk". Also, about 10% of all calls you make with skype, are going to be unbearably laggy and slowed.

D/L them all, they're all free. Try them out, and see which you like best.

My personal opinion?

VOIP In-Game.

Teamspeak FTW. So what if vent has better voice quality ima tell you right now the TS 27.9 Speedex codec is plenty. It also uses a lot less resources then vent. Its interference is also a lot better then vent. Some people prefer vent but for me its something that can go trough a bit more work.
