Give your opinion of Xfire voice chat plz.

Anyone who uses Xfire out there....

Has anyone used the voice chat for up to 16 people? if so, how does it compare to TS...I know Vent is better, but I am solely basing this off of quality per dollar.

Since a public TS server AND Xfire chat is free...which one is better...for up to 16 players?

We have a new member who brought this up, and I wanted an outside opinion.

thank you.

Using a higher codec TS is better, I'd even say on the higher codecs TS is better than Vent.

And even better get a decent Ventrillo host

Xfire chat = useless imo.

Xfire voice chat is fine if you're just chatting while browsing web pages/3d Modelling/whatever else. But as soon as you get into a game, it starts to lag, and chunk, and all kinds of other various nasties can happen. That being said, I don't have a very high opinion of TeamSpeak either. Ventrilo is the way to go, IMHO.

Does anyone have some experience with renting a Ventrilo server, can you recommend a certain vendor?  Looking for at least 32 slots right now...

Ventrilo quality is defintely great, used the client before, but never rented a server...help!

about Xfire, the laggy thing consistently happens to me while running Crysis...so I just shut it off while playing anyway, no longer an option.

So we are down to Teamspeak or Vent...they both run fine while running any game.
