If we're lucky, OA will be improved in that regard.
Oh, wait. We're talking about BIS here! Ignore the previous line.

Re: Teamspeak
There is another advantage in not relying completely on the game's VON, especially if the TSx server is on separate hardware, which is that our comms can survive a major server crash. As good as A1 VON was, it never matched TS2 for me - potentially because I was far away from the server. For now, and unless anyone has any strenuous objections, I'm going to work on the basis that we'll launch with TS2, but keep a close eye on A2TS3 and A2:OA's built-in VON capabilities as well.
Re: Teamspeak
Oh right, I had forgotten that. VON quality is pretty bad if you have a latency above about 50-60ms, thanks for reminding me Fer!
The server-crash thing is very important too, while I also like the feel of having a TS channel that is persistent - it means people can chat about the game after the game is over, if they wish.

Re: Teamspeak
If TS3 still has no channel commander, then it's out of the question, but as soon as it gets some kind of capability in that respect, I think we should switch to TS3.
I base my opinions only on hearsay and opium dreams. But I really like the TS3 sound quality, and it seems to be a lot more stable for me in terms of its bandwidth usage, which is odd because I think it actually uses MORE bandwidth.

Re: Teamspeak
That's really the crucial factor right now. As soon as TS3 supports channel commander, OR we can get similar functionality from the TS3/ArmA2 plugin (A2TS3 or whatever it's now called), we'll most likely switch.Lor wrote:If TS3 still has no channel commander, then it's out of the question, but as soon as it gets some kind of capability in that respect, I think we should switch to TS3.
