Do i need a mic

[-=C.D.Z.R=- Dragon™]

Well i wanna buy this game if its on sale but i don't want to talk in a mic don't like it so do i require a mic to play this game?

[Mytheos]

No, majority of players dont use one.

If you have anxiety issues, the mic is the least of your worries.

[BlackFlame1981]

Nope, its not needed.
You can set waypoints, ping points of interest + enemys.
Dont listen to ppl who might come ihn here and say "you need voice in higher dif".
Thats bull$hit.
Played over 70h with random matchmaking without a mic.

No you don't need a mic. Most random teams don't use a mic.

Some do, I found some randoms who use a mic, The advantages of using a mic help a lot. The biggest advantage I found if you all communicate is on using Strategens, if someone says they are calling down say a 500KG bomb it stops the other 3 players from doing the same and wasting strategens.

To be honest it's been ok talking with people, all been mature. It's probably the only game where no one calls you names or swears. I think actually chatting is the cure to bad games with toxic behaviour (like World of Tanks for example). If you talk trash people can ban you or call you out on your behaviour in this game, so you won't get far by toxic behaviour and you would have to play on your own.

No.

Buy game. It is good
Watch https://youtu.be/yMvyTN5OAxU , it is funny.
Mic is completely optional, learn how to use Q and sometimes use the chat system.

That said it is cool AF when you can shout at a friendly over the mic "K3! Behind you! Uglies! Use your gun on them before they can taste your behind!"

You do not need one as most players in public matches don't use a mic

Thank you SO much for the morning laugh! LOVE IT!

You can also use Push to Talk.

I rarely encounter players who talk, and the times I do it usually boils down to stuff like:

"A4! There's a bug nest behind you! Can you take D2 and clean it up?"

"Chargers, CHARGERS!"

"Bunker here! Someone give me a hand with it!"

"Could you PLEASE position those turrets better? They're killing me more often than the bugs!"

The rest of the time, we just use map pings and the comms menu and it works well enough on difficulty 5.

Good to have but not mandatory. I usually use it only when playing with randoms and you have to do satelite tower or some other specific situations or with new players if it's clear they don't quite understand what is going on.

Too bad, talk or get kicked. Tired of excuses to justify total lack of any communication or teamwork.

Stop being anxious, or keep at it and allow it to rule over you like a master does a slave.

Every person I've come across who actually uses their mic in this game has been insufferable. I just mute everyone, and play music now.

Don't listen to the people saying NO,. when you get to high level play it is almost necessary.
And if you want to make friends, play as a team then communication is necessary,. without it its like a single player game and you will always be stuck with scrub groups

Imagine being scared to talk in a mic,.. what are you people going to do when you have to face real issues in life,.. Good lord

[laggyluk]

in most rando matches nobody talks, and when they do it's open mic into which they burp and make phone calls
