A female voice attracts way too much attention (in my experience), so I don't really like talking. I only do when I'm with my friends or forum friends.

Seriously, do people not know what "co-op" stands for?

I've been through so many matches that are lucky to make it to wave 5 because NO ONE HAS THEIR FREAKIN' MICROPHONE TURNED ON TO FREAKIN' COMMUNICATE and... wait for it... COORDINATE!!!!!!!

i have no idea what coop is, i only know that i play for my enjoyment and am not required to do anything. This is not competetive multiplayer, i dont care what you do, just handle me as a stupid bot.

I had a mic that worked fine everywhere but ME3.

Got a new mic yesterday (broke old one, cord got caught and tugged too much), USB, works great.

However, I kinda have 2 settings. Utterly silent, and chatty cathy. With friends, I'll give all sorts of info, comments, etc. If it's too much I KNOW they'll tell me.

For random folks, I save it for short comments like "20 secs left, fall back to LZ," as I've seen people honestly lose track of the timer there, and I like xp.

Basically, I don't know you. I don't know how much information you want to be hearing from my nasally voice, so I save it for the really crucial stuff.

Maybe the OP doesnt not what Co op means it doesnt mean Use a Micro phone it means work together, which you can do with out one it can be a good addition but dont have to have one.

I only have a built in one for my laptop so i dont use it and im not buying one just to play games, ive played the multiplayer and in no way am i good at multiplayer games i just play for the fun. Some people take it really seriously  but i dont but in gerneral i do my best to work with the people im with and normally get thru all the waves but then again i not played it past Bronze.

I proberly put off going up a level as you get to the people in my opinion who take a little to seriously and you end up with being called a noob and the likes while all im after is a bit of fun, and a change from the main game.

Anyways i will no doubt give the muliplayer  a crack when i get my copy of the full game and folk are welcome to add me as friend on origin, same user name as here if there looking to have a bit of fun all i can say is all i can do is my best lol.

You only need mic on silver or gold.

Only if you or your team sucks. Just finished 2 succesful runthroughs of Gold this morning and nobody had mics (or perhaps they did but didn't use them) and it went great. Seriously people need to find another excuse.

This. So much this.

Mics help, it can't be denied but in no way it is required for a successful run even Gold.

They're just shy. Don't diss em, it's enough that I annoy them with my never ending talk...

[KodiakAsh]

After hearing some kid get called out by his mom for the 4th time while blowing his nose my mic and everyone else's got disabled.

[TexasToast712]

 Too many times have my ears been assaulted by the screech of the infamous squeaker that I now only talk with friends.

I don't have a mic.

[Boz Meister]

*Turns on mic*
Me: We got 2 phantoms coming up on my side, could use a hand with em'.
Random guy: Dude STFU, are you a **** or something?
*Turns off mic*

No thanks.

[_symphony]

is ok to turn on the mics, but people breathing on their mics or conversations with the family are grounds for quitting the match.

[MNeidig]

I can't figure out how to turn mine on. Would talk otherwise.

[zexoor]

i usually do. i play on xbox but everyone who plays is German so i cant really communicate

[stjasonl]

Your probably that guy with the horrible mic super static that everyone mutes first thing! It's way better to not have a mic than be that guy.

[HappyHappyJoyJoy]

Please turn off your mike if your three year old is playing with you and everyone can hear her babble.

[Pobatti]

There are numerous problems with mics. The game should not require them, even to complete gold. It's nice to be able to communicate with others, but there are just so many problems the rest of the time:

• Some folks won't talk because they don't want to be heard shouting at the screen by their family in the next room.
• Some folks (like me) tend to play in the wee small hours of the night, so I can't even have my TV speakers loud.
• Many folks simply do not own a microphone, a large majority of PS3 owners infact.
• Those that do fill the air with pointless noises and chatter to the point where you just mute the telly.
• That's if they're not rustling a sweetie packet against the mic the whole time.
• Some folks are hard of hearing due to a medical condition (I only have 1 good ear)
• Some folks don't even speak English. I once played with a chap who spoke Urdu to himself the whole time.
• Some folks are just plain shy and don't speak much.
• Some folks speak too quickly or too quietly, and some have heavy accents nobody understands.
• I really hate it when I'm hearing a constant echo of every slight noise throught the match because of feedback.
• I really can't understand anyone speaking 'elf' using the PS3's frequency modulator at all

There should be some form of quick-chat in the game, but how it could be implemented in such a way that is quick and easy to use would be a difficult thing to work out. You should be able to say simple things like "behind you", "follow me" and "get over here" - while in the lobby you should be able to say "please tune the difficulty down a notch" to the host rather than just have the host wonder why nobody wants to ready up for a Gold match.

God forbid you talk to people and tell them,

"Hey, there's a turret around that corner!"

"Look out for that Phantom behind you!"

"Don't shoot your rocket at that Atlas, I got it!"

"Please help me flank this Guardian!"

"Help me take out this Nemesis sniper!"

"I got the next terminal being hacked, cover me!"


IS IT SO HARD?!?!?!


Seriously, the number of people who are not mic'ed is just....

Seriously, no.

Seriously, I've cleared gold a number of times without using a mic. Seriously.

I don't use mics. I've gotten up to wave 10 on silver with no one communicating.

Knowing how to coordinate without saying a word>having to shout over a headset to get people to do things.

This is how it's done^ It's so much more satisfying being apart of a team that knows what they're doing, and are able to assess the situation. Then they adjust accordingly. (Me)

@TC - Turn off your mic!

^ this ^

I too have made it to successful Full Extraction on Silver more times than I can remember. It took a while before I had my first successful run, but now folks seem to know what they're doing a bit more and teamwork seems a bit better in general most of the time.

If you can't do Gold, it's probably because either you aren't used to (or prepared for) it, or your teammates aren't. Once folks get more experienced, once you find folks that play properly and aren't selfish, lazy or ignore the objectives - Gold will surely become much more feasible as did Silver before it.

[Legion64]

Sometimes I play video games to have a little bit of "me" time. I don't feel like talking to others during "me" time. But I will sometimes use a mic.

[Dec4denc3]

What I don't understand is that there's a key for typing ("t - chat" in the keybinds iirc) yet it doesn't do anything. I understand typing under fire is not optimal, but if people can't be arsed to talk, at least they could communicate that way.

Hope it's possible in the full game.

[witlessrogue85]

I can get nervous at times, but I tend to have the mic on, unless my dog starts to freak out at someone outside. I tend to be straightforward, feeding information, "Turret on the landing pad," "Phantom coming up the steps inside the base," "Phantom at the bottom of that ladder next to the building," stuff like that.

I probably don't sound that friendly when I think about it. I'm just focused. Plus I don't know anyone on XBL, so...yeah.

Anyone wants a non-mean, focused team player, shoot me a message. Otherwise, maybe I'll catch you on there possibly.

[Zaxares]

There seems to be this frequent bug I encounter (I'm on PC) where even though I have a mic connected, it won't detect my mic and nobody else can hear me. Likewise, I also sometimes cannot hear my teammates, even though I can see their mic active and broadcasting.

It's fine though, since I mostly play on Bronze and Silver and having voice communication isn't necessary to win (the only time I ever really need to say something is if there's an Engineer setting up a Turret and nobody's noticed him, or if there's a Phantom sneaking up on a teammate).

In my general experience, voice comms are a kind of hit or miss situation. For every team where it's a helpful tool to secure victory, you get those annoying jerks who play loud music through their mic non-stop through the entire match.

[Maxunit]

To be honest...I am happy, that most people, kinda like everyone, is not using mic's. Whenever I played random matches on a console with random people (or in other pc games), i either encountered unbearable *peep*, cursing *peep* or underage kids with such a high voice...that  I think those kids are like...5?

I only use my mic if I play with my brother and/or friends and even then we log on to our private TeamSpeak Server and disable incoming and outgoing voice chat in the game options.
