online communication programs

While some people are waiting for the 2nd patch, others are not interested in MTW 2 at all, few are playing under different tags, there are quit few clans involved in mtw2 tournaments, etc.

I'm just wondering about online communication programs clans are using this days. In past days of TW MP comeptitions this was quit popular. What you prefer to use this days? Ventrilo, x-fire, skype anything else?

vent i believe is the best (also the most expensive but since i don't pay for it ... )

skype i heard is because it decreases ur connection speed while playing, ts is just a cheaper alternative than ventrillo and on xfire other people sound like gollum.

Teamspeak is the best in my opinion. We have played MTW many years with TS. It hasn't the quality like skype but the performance is very well. And there are free servers, you don't have to pay.

@ DieHard they're just the public ones people have payed for. They're not actually free...

Anyway LH has a ts and a vent. Vent's better but for some reason one of our members (some nub who calls himself the leader

) has a mic that makes a kind weird loud constant humming sound. But it doesn't happen on ts so we use ts more.

I've used skype whilst playing americas army with my actual rl mates, just because its actually free, but like den said its not made for gaming so hogs more memory than ts and vent.

Xfire voice chat is just the best, because its the funniest.

Everyone sounds like utter idiots on it

You can just host your own TS server. That what I do when we play. Ventrilo works ok too IIRC but we had connection probs with one player so ended up using TS. All in all im happy with TS.

You can install the server for free, if you do it for non-profit. There are TS providers, who take money for hosting (traffic, administration, licence costs).
