Notice. Microphone for on-line play. Please read.

This applies to TeamSpeak and in-game voice chat.

Everyone who wants to interact over TeamSpeak or voice in game needs a decent microphone. Decent does not mean expensive. A $20/£15 headset will work great.

Using a headset mounted mic gives you the advantage of having a constant distance from the mic at all times.

The stand-alone mic can easily be affected by the user moving slightly. Also the stand-alone mic can be more susceptible to background noise. You can minimise this with use of filters etc or a vibration dampening stand.

Using the inbuilt laptop mic can be very problematic. We advise against it's use.

Many problems with microphones can be traced to poor setup, positioning and even internet speed.

We appreciate that problems can pop up while playing or something changes without warning. However some players keep using poor mic set-ups. They have been asked now for many months to address this. They have not.

From today, If you do not have a reasonable mic or are one of those people who have been asked to resolve your "issues" for many months but have not. Then you will be unable to take part in certain on-line activities which involve voice chat. This is starting immediately with Steel Beasts Pro Saturday DOW Sessions.

This is just common courtesy to your fellow gamers.
