Re: voice chat

Go into options and turn the voice volume right down. Doesn't always work though as I was online last night with volume set to zero and I could still here folk talking.

Re: voice chat

Or buy a headset for around £10, set the mic to zero (so that it doesn't pick up your voice), set the output to be channelled to the headset...turn the headset on, stick it in a corner, and voila - you don't hear any voices.

I'm not sure if that option does anything at all, I've tried it at all settings with no change in-game.
I bought a cheap bluetooth headset for the express reason to exclude the voice chat - I hardly ever talk into it

Re: voice chat

Ive never used my headphones on this game. I find the game play a bit too fast and manic for them to be of any use.

Most players (myself included) seem to play as individuals as opposed to a team.

Unless im missing something?

Re: voice chat

Dont use a headset myself, but it was worth listening to the chap from Northen Ireland last night. Language was a bit fruity, but it was hysterical listening to his "comments" as he died !

Re: voice chat

Remember the rules once you get a headset. Note that these rules are based upon my experience playing in the USA (I'm British but live in America). From another thread it seems that after the recent patch, my ex-fellow countrymen now are seeing shining examples of these rules being followed perfectly:

1) Above all, try not to use it for anything useful in the game e.g. team tactics, warnings etc.
2) Take it off, put it on the floor in the middle of your family and have the kids/wife/grandmother have a loud conversation around it. Preferably in Spanish.
3) If you're not using it, don't mute it. We want to hear what's happening in your life while trying to flank the enemy.
4) Give it to your annoying kid to play with to distract it from your COD play and let it jabber into it constantly.
5) Have some really loud music playing into the mic. Preferably some ganster rap (see the start of Office Space for some tips on how to listen in your car).
6) Toss instults around in the lobby and then stay silent in the game while avoiding teamwork as much as possible.
7) Imply to everyone that you're a war veteran when in fact you're an inbred farm-hand, ****-scared of his own shadow.
8) Imply that you have friends in the special forces and they have somehow magically transferred their abilities to you by association.
9) Be a racist bigot.
10) Read the rules above and not understand my point (that would make you American and you'd therefore follow the rules to the letter)

I'm not joking, the other week the wife was out so I settled down for a good uninterrupted hour playing COD4 in glorious high definition, volume set to 'war'. Every lobby I found had some complete idiot following the rules above. The most frustrating one was a decent game of sabotage absolutely ruined by some pillock who'd left his mic open and his wife and daughter were having a conversation in Spanish. I swear that they didn't breathe for 20 minutes. No kidding. A constant barrage. It's scarred me. Every time I join a lobby and hear a high-pitched voice I get flashbacks. They say combat causes post traumatic stress disorder and they 'aint wrong.

I've learned my lesson and have a headset which I will not be using on my head, but laying next to the PS3 and be setting to MUTE. Yes, MUTE MUTE MUTE MUTE.

Sorry, I need a lie down...

Re: voice chat

Cheers mate, made me grin when I wrote it . I can't get a decent game of COD when the wife's around so when she goes out (sure love, new shoes, whatever, bye...) I can get a cold stella, fire up the PS3 and set the receiver to an insane volume. I have my setup in the main living room that's unfortunately on a suspended floor. While that's bad for music, it's actually great for COD4 as the room literally shakes, hence the 'war' setting. Playing HQ on shipment at war volume is insane.

I usually get conversations in Urdu or some strange language called American !

Re: voice chat

Every so often in the games you always get a pair of northerners having an argument with each other, using every swear word ever thought up. That's what you call off-putting.

I don't use a mic myself, i can't see any point to it really apart from telling the annoying folk to shutup :P
