TeamSpeak 3

[Kalub]

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.

[StankBacon]

where did you get that statistic?

[flibitijibibo]

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

No? Thats a very biased statement you made there. They always seemed quite equal, have yet to find a precise display of facts that lists which one is better online.

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.
