Hey Guys!
I play a lot of counter-strike source online with my friends. We all stay at different location, so talking every now and then is not possible. Is there any software that can be used during game play for voice chat? Is this idea possible? If which can anyone suggest a nice software? Thanks in advance!
Hey!
There already exist few softwares which are intended for voice chatting during online game plays. The best one is Team Speak.
About Team Speak : TeamSpeak is proprietary Voice over IP software that allows users to speak on a chat channel with other users, much like a telephone conference call. A TeamSpeak user will often wear a headset with an integrated microphone. Users use the TeamSpeak client software to connect to a TeamSpeak server of their choice, from there they can join chat channels.
The target audience for TeamSpeak are gamers, who can use the software to communicate with other players on the same team of a multiplayer game. Communicating by voice gives a competitive advantage by allowing players to keep their hands on the controls.
Currently there is no stable Mac OS X version available, although TeamSpeex is a viable alternative.
But it is not totally free. You need to buy it. But its worth buying. All the best and have fun!
Hey!
I would suggest you go for Ventrilo.
About Ventrilo :
Ventrilo is a proprietary Voice over Internet Protocol program with clients for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. Most users of Ventrilo use a headset or microphone and use the program to talk to each other, similar to a telephone conference call. Ventrilo is often used by multi-player video game players. The client version is available as freeware, but you cannot create a private room or server for just you and your friends. You will need to buy a server then... All the best keep Gaming..!
Hey!
The best option i would suggest you is Mumble.
About Mumble : Mumble is a free, open-source, cross-platform voice over IP application. Its primary users are gamers, and it is similar to programs such as TeamSpeak and Ventrilo. It uses a client-server architecture where users who want to talk connect to the same server.
Mumble's stated design goal is not to create the most elite gaming utility but to create the most social one. The goal is to recreate the feel and social interaction of a LAN party. As such, Mumble has a very simple administrative interface and most of the engineering effort is put into sound quality and low latency. As of 2007, no official statistics exists to verify the proportion of VoIP gamers using the different programs, but as it is new, it is assumed that Mumble has less market penetration than its commercial competitors.
As of version 1.1, all communication is encrypted to ensure user privacy. As of version 1.1.7 Mumble also has native support for Logitech G15 keyboard LCD display.
