As a quick reply to the communications thing...
I understand where you're coming from, but if you haven't noticed, there's a lot of people with headsets. Communication is important, and from efficient standpoints, audio is the fastest method as opposed to using a keyboard. I hate to tell you this, but you are left in the dust (no pun intended) of most players there. This isn't a PC shooter, either. It's a PS3 shooter that just so happens to support KB+M and text chat. You'll need to get used to this if you've not already. |

You'll need to get used to this if you've not already. Forcing players to purchase a headset to effectively communicate is not a good move. The argument that "we're in a new era" doesn't apply. I don't want to purchase a god-awful headset and I don't want to buy a Turtle Beach headset either. There isn't a really good mid-range option. At the same time, your argument doesn't address the lack of visual communication between squads, individuals, or entire teams. What if you're deaf? Yeah. Bet you didn't think about that did you?
Um, because there aren't a lot of deaf gamers out there. Sure, colorblind players, alright, but what you're pulling isn't a very effective argument unless a large population of players happen to be deaf and playing a game with this level of team-orientated gameplay. Besides, if that is the case, most people are probably only playing on PC anyway, since games on PC were built from the heart with that sort of thing in mind.
Honestly, any headset is better than no headset. You don't even need a Turtle Beach. I'm fairly certain there are $30 converters that will let you BT with your PS3 and use a standard PC headset if you so desire. |
