People's prefered in-game chat?

OpenToSuggestions · 24 Jul 2012 at 19:03

Hey all.
I sometimes play BF3 with my brother.
We use Skype, which works well for two people, or even more.

What are the best applications for in-game chat?

I bet they have come a long way since I used to get annoyed at kids talking in BF2!

Thanks.

Mumble.

Although Skype works, it lacks the finesse of Mumble regarding background noise filtering and general lack of options full stop.

Ventrilo. While mumble is every bit as good. Ive been using vent for so long its just my preference.

When we last had a vote on here for the OcUK official voip server, Mumble won by a fair margin.

I've used all clients the major bits of software extensively and Mumble is definitely the best choice in terms of quality and responsiveness. Some people prefer Vent/TS for ease of setup though.

TS/Vent are far easier in my opinion for the casual gamer to set up. I have used TS, Vent and Mumble and I feel that Mumble is better.

+1, although I may try the above to see how far they have come quality wise.

Ventrilo.

Mumble is the daddy. It's quite bizarre when you first swap to it from long time TS/Vent use, you don't notice how much latency/delay there is on those two programs until you use mumble for the first time and the speed in which someone responds to what you've just said takes you by surprise

Mumble by quite some margin

buchtis · 24 Jul 2012 at 20:37

Vent or Mumble, nothing else compares.

ThundyCat · 24 Jul 2012 at 20:40

TS3 for the win.

Evoss · 24 Jul 2012 at 20:41

TS3 is the most advanced of the four.

Westie · 24 Jul 2012 at 20:45

TS3 by far! better sound quality for me and i like the sound ducking when gaming!

Mumble are the goodest, for latency reasons.
TS3 has some plus points though like being able to attenuate individual users from your side.
