Whoopknacker Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Let me first say the game is fantastic. I love it. Yes the graphics for the PC are not the greatest. First person will disappoint, it reminds me of Aliens Vs Predator or Counter Strike, but thats cool. There is alot of action. I did multiplayer and there is nothing for voice chat. It said that it would support it. Did they lie or are they merely saying Uh yeah you can play and have Roger Wilco at the same time. If thats the case then I am ticked at that.
Alegis Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Its obvious for PC as he stated and i reckon he has a microphone. They said they'd fully support microphone stuff and even quick messages. If none are in it i'm very dissapointed
MoonSlasher Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 eh, yeah. I mis-read that part. anyways, it's possible that you do not have your mic configured properly onto your PC.
Whoopknacker Posted September 21, 2004 Author Posted September 21, 2004 "Will there be voice chat for the PC version? Yes, there will be voice chat for the PC version, as well as the PlayStation 2 and Xbox versions. Of course, text chat will also be available in the PC version." That is a direct quote from the official website FAQ. I spoke with LucasArts technical support and they said BattleFront was not currently supporting voice chat. I feel that PC buyers have been misled. I am sending a complaint to LucasArts and if you wish to do the same here is the email address. He also did not give any indication that there would be an update to integrate it. techsupp@lucasarts.com PS My microphone works fine. There is no command for voice chat and it is just not there.
Whoopknacker Posted September 21, 2004 Author Posted September 21, 2004 Originally posted by italegion maybe it's supported only under LAN..? I dont see why that would be the case. If you can do it on LAN you should be able to do it over the Internet. They need to clarify.
Dragnarr Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Yea ....... sad but true, this game seems its made for consoles ans just transferred into PC, just look at the voice commands ..... yeah there are none except the four ones on consoles and they are set as F1 - F4 ....... Come on! Also the PC version seems to have the same blurry effect as the consoles ( Im playing on medium detail ). No MTT or MAF and now this? Can I say .... Thank you Lucas Arts again!
Neon Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 And there is no button in controls? And in console?
=HR=Meltdown Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 There is no Voice Over IP in the PC game. Sorry but that's the truth.
ShugoTenshi Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Seems like there's no Voice Chat or Text Chat for PS2. Which I'm on right now.
Benjo Posted September 21, 2004 Posted September 21, 2004 Originally posted by ShugoTenshi Seems like there's no Voice Chat or Text Chat for PS2. Which I'm on right now. LOL, text chat on PS2, now that i'd LOVE to see!!!!!
Whoopknacker Posted September 22, 2004 Author Posted September 22, 2004 Here is my soapbox. We need to send a message to LucasArts that this is false advertising. Im sorry but I dont think that any of us deserve to be treated like this. The likelihood is that they figure that we would not notice or care. How can you release a product advertising that it comes with a feature knowing full well that it doesnt? I am seriously considering reporting them for false advertising. I can get voice chat software easily through Roger Wilco and TeamSpeak. Its the principle, not the product that I am upset about.

Check your manual, there is no VoIP for the PC.

Azurik12x Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 i better be able to voice chat i swear ill sue those *******s
Jerol Seren Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 This isn't a big deal. Gamers have been using Teamspeak and Ventrilo for ages for voice chat.
Prime Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Originally posted by italegion We are aware that people are currently experiencing issues when trying to find games to join. Did any of you guys play Jedi Academy? This may ring a bell.

That post does say that however, there IS no voice chat built in. It was removed sometime before release (probably about the same time as the spy and imp officer). I have the game, I spent the past 2 days trying to figure out everything you can do with it online (which BTW isn't much), and VoIP is not one of the things you can do in it (I've even tried verifying it on LAN just incase it was an always on, you can't control it thing). Remember they also said in interviews and the like there would be Punkbuster built in at release, and lo-and-behold there is none. ALOT of the things listed both there and in interviews have been found erroneous and wrong. If you know how to use the VoIP though on the PC by all means share it because I don't know of one person yet who has used it, or figured out how to.
italegion Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 i already realised that there is no voice chat in game but is not right that is still featured in their site...!
Whoopknacker Posted September 22, 2004 Author Posted September 22, 2004 Why the heck do they do this? LA says well give you this this and this and when it comes down to it, they dont. This is really screwy. No one can deny that posting Italegion, they are likely going to have some kind of voice chat Im sure (wont hold my breath-no pun intended)
=HR=Meltdown Posted September 22, 2004 Posted September 22, 2004 Ahh ok, sorry Ital. Must have been a misunderstanding between us, I thought you were saying that it had to be there since they said it was. My bad.
