Give your opinion of Xfire voice chat plz.
« on: April 29, 2009, 08:01:31 PM »
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.
