Why dont a lot of people talk online newer games?

Im not complaining or anything im just wondering because when i go play counter strike or tf2 people are constantly talking then i go to play BFBC2 and every ten minutes you might see a "sorry" someone typed for failing at flying a helicopter xD maybe everyone uses vent on servers i join? idk lol what do people use mostly for voice in BC2? id like to use voice communication in that game other than typing medic and dying while typing.

ye its hard to find active players now days , usually i get stuck just talking with myself , i bet it sounds so awkward :D the only game atm that has active VOIP chat is TF2 , community is just great , theres always some chatting going on or just troll bashing :DFarkeman

With BC2 the people I play with use Vent. The chat in that game sucks. L4D 1 and 2 have a lot of people chatting though.

Um.. CSS and cs 1.6 is chatter city as well. jedikevin2

Amazing community? The counterstrike community is argueably as bad or worse as the MW2 community, kids at the age of 12 screaming in their horrible quality microphones usually.

Sadly, bad company 2 is very quiet for someone reason. If you join a clan, many people will use vent, skype, etc but normal matches things are very quiet. This could be because the ingame voice setup is all but broken. Don't know if they ever fixed it but most just use vent or something when they play with friends.jedikevin2

Most new games are like this nowadays, it's really quite unfortunate. Modern Warfare 2, Bad Company, and even Left 4 Dead is getting very anti-social now. I find it depressing. Hence my most recent Gamespot blog post raging about it. Honestly I am tempted to go back to older games like Counter Strike: Source just for the socialism. It will make gaming cafes thrive for the social aspect. I've started hanging out at one once a week or so because of the lack of socialism in video games right now so I can talk to people while playing.

When I was the admin of a CSS server I would remove the tongues of annoying children that abused the mic. haha

I noticed, too, a lot of more new games tend to have less social interaction. I think its because people are only concerned about getting their rank up, or the next unlock etc. and older traditional games like CS,CSS, TF, TF2, etc. tend to have lots of social interaction; which I tend to play more of because its just much more fun talking a lot during games than absolute silence.christopher6

yea, any valve game/steam game has lots of VOIP action. I am in a community that revolves around Ventrilo, so I assume that's where most people are, in 3rd party VOIP

[QUOTE="tequilasunriser"] Thats a good point. For a lot of people tracked stats are srs bsns, and being srs bsns they might be less prone to chatter and goofing off.tequilasunriser

Skype, Ventrillo, TeamSpeak 3, etc... In a game like BFBC2, one of these programs is so handy. In BC2, you are limited to talking to only your squad mates (3 people max). But if you have a bunch of buddies in a TS3, Vent, or Skype server, then all of you can communicate.

It's always nice to chat it up with some people, but then again that opens up the door to all those pesky brats who can't stand to lose anything, and cuss out lots of innocent players just trying to have fun. I dunno, TF2 and CSS are always very chatty.
