Hey Woedy,

I voted against and will tell you why.

I used xfire a while ago,
to have a (written) chat with my MoH friends,
to start MoH from within xfire and having a chat overlay at MoH

But it couldn't fullfill my expectations somehow.
Overlay was cool, but as in usual MoH chat window you're out of game when writing.
And starting MoH meant editing the xfire ini file because there is (perhaps was) a xfire bug, the entries made there after searching for games were not ok. Every update (usually one all 1 or 2 weeks) lead to edit that ini file again.

I switched over to steam, it was more easy to start MoH from there and had a way better overlay.

Right now I don't use any of those. I have a forum to ask or write, and I have mumble to talk without typing.

Why I prefer mumble over other voice chat as for example xfire?
xfire voice chat is kinda normal messenger, only with voice.
mumble is a voice chat tool with many advantages
  • - one of the best tools concerning voice quality
    - low usage of bandwidth
    - encrypted communication
    - it's a real server tool
    - highly adoptable
    - it allows admins to interact as
    • banning,
      kicking or
      mute people,
      create different channels,
      move people to channels
    - etc etc etc.


You can compare it to ventrilo or teamspeak, only teamspek 3 now has a nearly similar quality in voice.
You can't compare it to messenger solutions which also have voice chat.

Yes, users have to install a programm, going through a detailed setup routine (important). But after that one enters the server address and all is fine.

Well just :twocents-mytwocents:
