And thats just the beginning. Think televised matches! Gamers earning more than hockey players. Ok, maybe more than canadian soccer players at first but you get the point. It won’t happen unless you want it to… Think big.

Take a breath bogs : )

I run a TS server that my freinds join for ETing, and even if its just 2 of us, it makes a huge difference. I have a DSL connect and it doesnt lag me w/ 6 people on it.

Id be reluctant to join a pub/integrated voice com server unless I could mute any player who constantly transmits or is obnoxious.

Voice coms work in ET, my M8’s and I rarely lose a game when were on same team.

Id be surprised if MLK doesnt use voice coms, how big a FOO are you ? : )

I agree with tickler and foo… good games and ingame voice comm would be exploited like tking, team damaging and blocking doorways.

Coolhand + U R Sux … Just to refer to the CS model again, it works like a dream , you can mute any player you like, so u don’t have to listen to people hurling abuse, or abusing the comms in other ways, and generally it’s used fairly sensibly, people are usually to busy fighting to jabber useless cr*p over the mike. But when it’s useful … its REALLY useful. Also it’s great for improving Camaraderie ( Team spirit … I thinks thats spelt write ;)) . And great for the community as a whole.

I’m not saying comms is the ONLY answer; but as it stands, I don’t think the comms in ET has the richness it needs, considering the complexity of the maps. and the requirement for team play. I’m speaking as a long time CS player, looking for other games to get it “as right” as CS does, I like ET, but I won’t play it forever unless the Team cooperation aspect can be improved. It’s too frustrating when the rest of your team Haven’t really got a clue whats going on, or won’t work together properly.
