TeamSpeak 3

9.5/10 WoW Guilds Use Vent, on any server due to the simplistic and easy to use functionality.

I like Vent better, but it's more of an opinion thing.

where did you get that statistic?

Experience probably. I'd have to second him on that number. Also, EVGA uses Vent for it's competitions.

I do like both, though. TS3 looks much nicer than the previous version, too.

From my limited experience with both, Vent is better than TS2 for sound quality, but it has a weird interface. I've heard good things about mumble also, but not had an opportunity to try it.

We'll see the numbers, if there ever are any, now that TeamSpeak 3 is out.

I've used both equally on and off throughout my time gaming. Initially it was TS2, used for mechwarrior 4 multiplayer, then we tried vent and didn't like the lag it caused our host, so we switched back to ts2. Then I started playing BF2 mod ladders, and they ALL used TS2 because it has an easy to understand bracketing channel system. Nowadays I use vent more often than not because the surf clan I'm in in CSS uses it for its sound quality.

I think it really doesn't matter that much either way, vent has better sound quality, but TS2 seems simpler to me.

Yea, it's just a matter of opinion, and what the majority of your fellow gamers use.

If you have a clan/guild who uses one, it's easier just to adjust then go against the grain.

i havent heard anyone of using ts in the past like 3 years

I say this mainly based on what I have experienced and see. It's a simple matter of opinion, but I've found vent to be more convenient and superior. I used to play an array of games competatively and in every community vent was nearly a given. The major IRC network gamesurge, vent is widespread. Almost every server rental company website I've been to chooses vent as their primary VOIP. Basically what i'm getting at is where I come from, vent is the unanymous choice and everyone uses it. I have noticed however that teamspeak is often a beginner's choice (beginner - see: noob). Vent is also more secure from hacking, this fact is as clear as the sky is blue. I can only support my arguement mainly from the gaming community side of preference (when I say this I mean more than just the people that play the game). I have no clue about bussinesses and whatnot, other than the fact traveler's insurance uses vent.

Germans prefer TS.
