How many people use head phones (mic) for games?

[tikki50]

Im curious how many people actually use headphones when playing games like UT2004. I myself went and purchased a set so I could communicate with other players easier. I found that less than 10% of the users actually even used this awsome feature. Once I realized that UT2004 could do this I had to try it and it only made me more addicted to playing it. I now must moderate how much I play ONS. If you get with a group that uses mics to communicate you can really dominate the maps. HEHE....

I like to use mics in all games I play.. it's just more fun, and far easier to communicate. It can be the advantage you need to win in many cases.

Yep, mics pwn j00. There isn't a better way to strategize on the fly in multiplayer games imo. We use mics in every game we play over @ [OCG]... actually, if you're interested in becoming a member in our clan, having a mic/headset is sort of a prerequisite.

I use my headset for everything now. I bought a high quality one so I could get good audio quality not just the ability to communicate easier.

man headsets are awsome i use them all the time in BF : DC

 

[SlaughterUall]

I almost always use a mic

 

[tikki50]

Wow these replies almost make it seem like my estimation is incorrect.

Yellowdart I havent joined a clan yet but I would be interested in doing so. I've been playing q3 and ut for years but for some reason (probably girlfriend related) I havent joined one.

What do I have to do pass a test

BTW- when you use a headset do you still use your main speakers or just the headset. Seems like if you try using the main speakers you get distortion back through the mic.

I use my mic for ut2004 and other games...can they be used in Cod and AA? if so im usin mine!

 

[Nightingale]

Me and my friend always use mics when we game so we can coordinate attacks (or cheat in euchre hehe).

 

[bojangles]

I would use mine more except the headset doesn't really fit my head. There are some stickies here on joining OCG.

 

[madcow235]

I feel like such a retard yelling at my computer. But yeah in clan matches, in a few games i play, i use them alot.

 

[Bashar]

Well if your asking about headsets.... I use them for FPS games and speakers for other games like NWN ect.....

If your asking about mics..... I use mine when I am on TS with buddies. I dont use the mic or listen in UT2k4 I have found nothing but little punks just yelling and talking smack all the time.

 

[rcillig]

I us my mic in Novalogic's Black Hawk Down all the time makes the game so much better and yes very addictive..... never used it for any other games but I plan trying it out for UT2004... as I just got it last weekend.

 

[evolver]

mmmm using headsets in CS everyone thinks you cheat :S

i seldom use the mic but the pinpoint accuracy of where is enemy is, offers such a large advantage

HEADSETS ALL THE WAY .... though mine were only 15 bux

 

[masterchief]

Headset + Halo + Teamspeak = Fun Stuff

Can anyone recommend a decent headset that doesn't cost a lot? Just the basic headset, I dont need any fancy bells and whistles.

 

[dukat]

i have headphones and a separate mic. had the plantronics audio 90 before, but the mic died, so it was quite useless...
i always use teamspeak when playing with my clan mates.

This maybe more than you want to spend , but its an XINT headsetset and recommended by many OC and [OCG] members (Sennheiser PC150) . The Sennheiser PC150's are onsale at Amazon.com for about $35 w/free ship and no tax . This beats Newegg price $56+$4 ship (and tax for some peeps) . LINKY

I just purchased a set to use for our [OCG]BF:V clan and could not be happier with my purchase . Highly recommend .

 

[dukat]

34$ wow i would get two if they would be available for that price over here
serious, dont look any further, get that headset! for that price its unbeatable.
