Battlezone 1

Well, I don't like constantly buying batteries for wireless stuff, I learned that the hard way with my wireless mouse. Besides, all 3 of my USB ports are taken: USB Mouse, USB External Keyboard, USB External 500 GB Hard Drive. I only use external keyboard for NumPad, and because my laptop's keyboard needs to be repaired or replaced, some keys don't work, and they are very important keys. like W, 2, 4, R, F, and some others. When the laptop's built-in keyboard originally quit on me, I was playing Battlezone and my ship wouldn't go forward, and I couldn't access Defense or Navs.

Is the team speak down ?

Sometimes after the main server reboot I forget to re-start TeamSpeak. Thanks for warning me, it's working now.

just to get this straight...are we talking about playing battlezone multiplayer and talking to eachother with mics instead of with the chat?

cuz thats amazing

Correct. I was on it for 3 hours with two other players I recruited, no one else came on TS. I wonder why Ventrilo isn't used, more people use it.

is this used by the community often?

I use ts constantly!
I think most people either don't use ts or they forget to use it.

TeamsSpeak3 is out and I set up a server for it. Check first post for more info and give it a try, it has a lot of new options.

I'm downloading on good Internet and getting only 10 kb per second. That's pathetic. I'm tempted to mirror the file, even though they don't approve.

EDIT: TeamSpeak 3 is failing to even connect, is the TS3 server running?

NEVERMIND! I had the wrong port.

i havent tried ts3, i will probarbly download it, any big changes?

I'm experiencing a huge issue with TS3, it takes too much bandwidth. Whenever I talk, it takes so much bandwidth that I see all go to 100% loss in BZ, and my connection to TS3 times out. It's basically unusable. Maybe it's related to my slow connection, but I never had this problem in TS2.

Whatever the problem was, I do not experience it in TS3 beta 22.

New TS3 client version resolved all issues? We can finally all move to TS3? I was keeping TS2 server in backup, just in case...

I am curious to know how well TS3 does during a BZ game on broadband, does it lag it much? I am not a good test being on dial up because it spikes me to 5000+ ping if I talk. But I can at least use it now without losing connection from speaking.

Yeah, those with weak connections shouldn't use it in the game. But now you can at least go back to interviewing dummies. It will be hard to beat the one you had with reaper, it's the interview of a decade. Maybe for the next time you'll have to do 2 at once, dummy bros BFT and Attack Rat, or something like that.
