RBL TeamSpeak server

[Acehigh]

ok here's my two cents here.  for you guys worried about lag I used to run TeamSpeak when I played alot of Mechwarrior online and it didn't lag at all.  and remember peeps I'm on a crappy dialup connection.  infact it took up very little memory and used very little processing power to run. 

pros:  allows you to coordinate tactics in slower paced games like mech warrior, galaxies, strategy games ect ect
         doesn't take up alot of space
         was lag free on dialup
         pretty simple interface

cons:  for fast paced games like xwing, the flight part of galaxies (dogfighting), crimson skies ect the action is to fast and  furious  to actually coordinate any tactics effectively.  once you try to talk your dead lol. 
         had to press a button to talk......which for some of us who have trouble multi tasking can be a real pain lol
         sometimes it's hard to understand people with below average mics

Well I need to reinstall XWing and all that and then I'd love to take a shot at you all

I used VOIP for over 2 years playing Crimson Skies, teamspeak was only one client. It can be used quite effectively to coordinate team play. There is a slight delay  but changing what tactics you coordinate can overcome it.
Teamspeak also has the option for either "Push to Talk" or "Voice Activation". The problem with voice activation is for those who play with the speakers blaring, or yell and scream as they are going down in smoke (or the target) is it keys the mic and transmits which prevents others from using the airway to coordinate tactics.

The only real problems I have seen with VOIP is certain Canadian sound cards or Canadian operators...exactly which one was the problem was never discovered...

  Canada must be on leave

It's the end of summer.  Let me nap under a tree while it's still warm enough to DO so.    Heh, I think I need it after the week I've gone through.  :'(  Don't get me started.

.....and as for equipment and operator, they're only as good as the instructor guiding them

hey how do you bind keys on teamspeak?

[Azis]

Hey don't forget u guys that are flyin that this server is here. I cant get to the game room but I will hang on the TS Server and cheerlead fer ya's

I have heard that TeamSpeak was bought out actually.  Which has nothing to do with this of course, just thought it interesting news. 

I'm thinking of getting Ventrillo, I'm told the codecs for it is actually better than TeamSpeak and is just as reliable.

[Azis]

I actually loved Ventrillo. The sound is alot better IMO but it costs at the price of bandwidth. I liked it becuz I could aslo host my own sever.

[M1A2Tanker]

Hmm. I haven't heard that it was a bandwidth hog actually.  I'll have to ask my buddy who uses it predominately for World of Warcraft if it's an issue, but I'm sure he'd have mentioned it.

[Azis]

hmmmm LOL ooook
If your on dial up FORGET-it, broadband and it does ok. But regardles it does use the bandwidth!

Aint you gota table to bus er sumin!

[M1A2Tanker]

Reason why I'd ask him about is is because he uses the latest version, and would know how it handles on the same connection that I have.  I don't have dialup anymore. 

And that's resturant work.  Domino's doesn't have tables.

Good thing too.  We'd have a bunch of drunks there all the time just taking up space and making more of mess than they do already.

[murdock]

TeamSpeak is down  or am I the only person that uses it

[Fireyone233]

You were the only one using it I guess Murdock.
