Good move on the headset Doodad...
Yes. BF2 has VOIP integrated into the game, so there's no side application needed like netmeeting or battlenet, etc.
You can only talk if your in the command loop... i.e. commander, squad leader, or squad member.
It adds a whole new dimension to the game. The radio quick commands also make it easy and convenient, so that voice is not over-used and most beneficial at squad level
Hehe, I got 512 more M of RAM and a 6600GT vid card yesterday. Much better graphics, things I could not see before. Woohoo.
