xfire mic?

[ajopz]

Hi fellas,

Can anyone tell me if there is anyway of using a mic to talk to players in xfire?

Or if not in xfire a good app that can run along side it and the game?

any help would be appreciated

My brother uses Vent (Ventrillo) - but unsure if its much good. Only just started using XFire myself at mo sorry.

I think a lot of people use teamspeak, but that needs someone to host a server AIUI

There is a "Call" feature in Xfire in your tools that will allow you to
mic with someone....

Vent is pretty pap to be honest, better off with teamspeak, which is what i use with my CS:S clan, and have used with my Q4 clan. I have never used the voice feature on Xfire, so couldnt really comment on that. As far as I know with vent and ts, you need a host somewhere... (well with TS you deffinatly do, and vent im pretty damn sure you do). Alternatively you could always dig up Roger Wilco (lol )

Teamspeak or Vent are fine.

Xfire also has a chatroom feature, in which multiple people can talk to each other. The quality on Xfire is also better than Ventrilo, in my opinion.

Open up a conversation with someone, invite a few people, then click 'Host Voice chat.' It also allows you to set the quality of the voicing with the slide of a bar, as opposed to messing with bitrates, etc, in Vent and TeamSpeak.

If it's just a few of you, I suggest Xfire. If you need multiple rooms, I suggest TeamSpeak or Vent. I prefer TeamSpeak over Vent, however.

if you have less than 4 people you can use skype

or if just between 2, msn
skype tends to lead to horrific lag if you are going to be playing games wid it

Teamspeak is the best for clans. Many clans will allow you to use their TS Server free of charge. You can then use your own room if available for you and your friends.
A TS server, however, is only around £10 a month. So if your serious, it's worth it.

Thanx for the input guys, Its only for me and a friend atm so used msn, it worked queit well.

He tried roger wilco but that was poor.

Its a real novelty to be able to talk while playing far cry, but most of the time we just trade insults and taunts
