 		Happy Thanksgiving!

Yesterday was nice! I think I had the funniest moment on Halo2! CTF classic on Coagulation. I stole their flag and hide at the basement, waiting for a warthog to pick me up! I keep hearing the other team talking just above me! After a good 5 minutes of hiding, Tarrsk enter the basement with our flag, and he hides just next to me! Laughing He didn't see me, so I just drop the flag, kill him with the shotgun, return our flag and Clayfoot pick me up with a warthog! Just too funny that he had the same idea of hiding on the basement! Cool


Oh, and a question to everybody. If you use the white button to teamspeak, does proximity voice still applies? Meaning, even if I use the white button, will eveybody around me hear? When I was hiding on the basement, I was telling Clayfoot to pick me up and I heard Krystyn saying "I heard Waters, he must be around!" I'm sure i used the white button!

 		Happy Thanksgiving here as well!

And i think the white/clear button does trigger both team speak and prox speak.

 		not from my experience... that would be pointless IMO. White is for private team-speak... I don't hear all the teamwork talking that goes on when an emeny is nearby... all I hear are screams when I kill someone and laughter when someone kills me Razz hehe

 		Proxy speak still applies when you hit white. White just allows all of your team to hear you as opposed to only the ones close to you, but if you're speaking and an enemy is nearby, they'll hear you too.

Happy Thanksgiving, btw Very Happy

 		Happy Thanksgiving guys!

My understanding of teamspeak is that it works just like talking into a radio. You can talk to all your buddies, but if an enemy is close he can hear you talking into the radio...

 		Can we do some testing, just to confirm? This is huge, cause I'm always hiding inside the enemy's base and still using team speak! I was scared like hell when Krystyn heard me and I could see 3 red points on my radar!

lol, trust me, that's how it works. I've cracked many a man in the back of the head just because I heard them summoning a Warthog Wink

 		well that sucks then... they should at least make so it team speak is like half volume or something... if I talk quietly to my team, I want it to be like I'm crouching in the corner with my mouth and comm covered with my hand as I whisper to my team... but it sounds like that whisper is heard like a regular voice for anyone above, below or around...

they should at least make team speak half in proximity volume...

Haha! Yeah, that was probably my most embarrassing moment of the night... one of many! Wink Actually, though, I did see you... and then promptly panicked (I think I screamed something along the lines of "OHSHITOHSHIT HE'S RIGHT HERE AGH") and died. Embarassed

I think it is a great idea. Just like in real life, if you are blabbing on your radio, anyone in a certain proximity will hear you. If you wisper then you will not be heard from as far away. The system does take volume of the source into consideration.

Aye, I agree.

And if EB pulls through for me tomorrow, I should have a working XBox by tomorrow evening, praise the Lord. Gaming tag is ThaJinx. See you all in game, hopefully. Hit me up for a friend invite or something, lol.

Nah, it wasn't embarassing at all! I was just lucky to have the shotgun with me! I didn't even hear your screams, cause I was panicked too and I was telling my team that I had to get outside cause they already knew I was there! It was just too funny to have both of us holding the flag and screaming ahhhhh! Laughing


About teamspeaking, yeah it sucks! It's really hard to coordinate the offense very well! I think they heard me and INCyr coordinating our base invasion then!

You may not like it for invasion, but everyone is under the same restrictions/freedoms.

Yes you will be heard if you are planning the base invasion while you are in the base. Perhaps you should plan it before hand! Wink
On the other hand you can also hear the other team planning their defense. "Quick there's a guy on the top floor!" -> you know to hide.

As with any aspect of a game, if you do not like it then it is probably also bad for the other team. Change your strategy to cover over the weakness for you, and exploit the weakness for the other team.

 		Yeah, that was totally funny - I heard you, Waters, and I was like "GUYS! GUYS! He's down on the lower level! Guys! Crap, I just heard him!" Sneaky bastardo!

I think it makes sense, and it makes it more challenging, you know?

Fun stuff. Smile Happy turkey day, to those of you that are all about ingesting some gobble gobble. Which I was. Oof. Oh my.

*burp*
