So we got VOIP yesterday.

And so far, just as I predicted... NOBODY [redacted] USES IT. (In 5 matches, including CWarfare) I heard one other voice...

Just like Battlefield.


Pubs will get owned because pubs are pubs. No amount of Voip, or Lobby system, faction chat or anything is going to change that.

You're just going to do your own damned thing, in your own little world, and then go complain when you get stomped by people who are playing as a team.


Thank you for wasting PGI's time.

In 5 Matches I only had ONE silent Comm.

And the remainder of games felt much funner.

That's because you're cheating, and on your unit/groups 3rd party VOIP.

[Davegt27]

Well in the solo area mine does not work

In CW I can hear but cant talk

But it helped us win one in CW, the leader had to repeat himself half a dozen times to
Get us to do stuff but thanks to his persistence we won

@OP

I guess I have played about 20 matches since VOIP dropped and did not witness a single game in which VOIP was silent. So another of you Doom and Gloom predictions is incorrect.

How long did it take LRMopocalypse to happen when Artemis dropped? (That wasn't even foreseen as that big of a thing)

VOIP and ingame lobby/faction chat has been clammored for, for years...


Not saying it cannot/will not become more popular.. but for all the clammoring about in the forums.. it's not exactly wildfire.. it's actually more like Battlefield 4.. where 90% of the players I see have mics.. and 90% of those don't use them.

I suspect so it will be with MWO. Pubs will be pubs.

[Tarl Cabot]

Only have had one match that comms were not used. Most of the other matches it was a hit or miss on the effectiveness. For the matches were one or two people were providing direction/updates via comms it helped. Others who did not have/use a mic also added updates via chat (which still needs to be improved upon). There were a few matches where comms were used but lacked direction, no one took the lead.

Of all of the matches only had to mute one person. With some of the comments made in chat I was not the only one. Unmuted him after a few mutes and said person had clammed up (amazingly).

Give it a few months. I think you are too early.
But if it helps? No idea... I prefer see a good commo rose.

Edit: oh you mean the solo que. I heard a few not much. Not sure what to think of..

Thank you for wasting PGI's time.

Why do people, yourself included, think that everyone being on viop is going to make less stomps? If both sides are givin the same tools nothing changes. dur

It will however make for less fustration, as people, like yourself, won't go off on a rant because they only see what they see and blame everything on everyone else as they have no info to go on (kinda like playing 5 matches and judging an entire community that probably hasn't played yet).

May be a timezone thing, but Europeans seem very skeptical of this modern witchcraft. Talking to strangers through the internet is one of the things Martin Luther forbad in 1517.

[C E Dwyer]

I found in USA time zones it gets used, doesn't actually help play that much though as pugs will be pugs, in euro time zones its not.

However as mentioned in another thread, I turned mine off, a 30fps performance hit is far far to big to consider using it

Hey, you're from Erlend Oye's hometown!

Btw I love Euros on voip, their accents entertain me.

[Clit Beastwood]

Did 4 pugs. If nobody's talking I just start calling targets - in 3 people started replying. In one, nobody replied nobody acted on my recon. The ones with comms were hard stomps and the one with no respondents was a hard stomp loss. So far so good.

[FrontGuard]

I loved it... and unlike what most people said there was not a bunch of kids spamming the com.
it made the game much more fun for me. much more like a team game and less like a brutal soulless blood sport.
i felt like a fighter pilot in a battle with my team.
major improvement
Well done Devs... thank you and thank you for not listeneng to the party poopers

[Nori Silverrage]

Used it in all the matches I played yesterday.
It was just released so some people may not know about it yet, or it may not be working for some people. One of my friends can hear but can't talk for instance.

[CygnusX7]

Cry more. Please. We really care.
Complete opposite of what I experienced.
