Enjoy your typical razer half-assed xfire clone

 

I've never been impressed with Razer software. But, I think I'll try this out since I NEED a alternative to TS and vent.

 

Gotta love the typical guest response...

I agree that Razers software isn't the most advance thing out there, but I gotta hand it to them on this one. I downloaded it last night and tested it out with a few of my buddies and we all enjoyed it quite a bit. Sure there are some glitches with the in game overlay when you hit Ctrl+tab, but that's to be expected with Beta software.

On a side note has anyone ever tried Adobe Axon?

 

Why do you need an alternative? TS is great. I feel like Razer fails at their software as you said.

 

Awsome, now the only problem is getting online friends worth talking to.

 

You forgot to mention that they tend to fail pretty often at the hardware level as well.

 

I have used Razer headsets, keyboards, and mice for my gaming pc. Not one piece of their hardware has failed. This software looks promising, I agree with the similarity of xfire though.

 

"Of course, many multiplayer games released today already have chat functionality baked in, not to mention platforms like Steam that support the feature across its entire game library."
I think about this every time I play Battlefield 3 with my friends and we have to use Steam chat or Skype. Amazing work DICE/EA...

 

Seriously, check out Mumble, it's the best VoIP software I have used to date! The voice quality is super crisp (Switching from vent to mumble was mind blowing) and they have in-game overlays so you can see which person in the channel is talking (great if you're letting a newcomer into your mumble server)

 

I use TS for BF3. The main point is I also use TS while playing Planetside 2, despite it having a great VOIP system. TS is just more convenient.

 

I thought you have to pay for a TS channel

 

Yeah, my group of friends split the cost. It uses less recourses than Steam or Skype and uses less bandwidth (than skype). I only have 4 GB of RAM so that little gain helps.

 

Mumble?
