me and a mate want to play co-op Battlefield over the internet and we both have headphones with integrated microphone. i think that only certain people can talk on BF (eg. the commander and perhaps squad leaders) so is there a way for me and my mate to be able to chat privately? im thinking of things like having MSN on in the background but i dont currently use that.

dont bother with MSM

 

get a program called Teamspeak, its what my clan uses, awesome program

 

its free to download and there are various free servers to join, i have my own private server, costs about 8 quid a month to rent a 50 man server

 

any probs then let me know :)

thanks for that Mark. just downloading Teamspeak as we, err, speak!

i need to get a new headset tho cos the microphone in my old one (literally, 15 years old!) is $hagg£d to bugg£ry!

if u want a new headset, i highly recommend the Plantronics DSP 500

 

awesome headset, NEVER had a prob with it :)

ok, i'll see how i get on with my 99p fleabay one i just won! :o :o

this is coming from experience m8, cheap headsets dont really cut it when u wana play games and use voice chat, i paid 47 quid for mine and never looked back :)

skype works well for this two, me an my mates use it now and again whilst playing dod

teamspeak 2 and also ventrillo and defo plantronics dsp 500 headset what you spend on these saves you money in the long run as you will buy headset after headset or mic after mic because of echo or speaker playback with the dsp its crystal and when used through xfi card even better

ok everyone thanks for the advice. i'll see what these cheapo ones are like - we prob will only play once a week (cos his girlfriend hates him playing BF2, lol)

Sky Dive......What can I say?????

well me and my mate got our headsets through the post and set up a TeamSpeak server - what a superb bit of software! had a great blast playing BF2! i think im getting addicted to that game! :eek: thanks Mark and everyone for your advice.
