a friends list maybe?
« on: June 08, 2007, 11:36:26 AM »
i was thinking maybe you could add like a friends list in the game so that u can keep track of whos on and all that and like send them personal messages. oh and maybe like an ingame voicechat thing for ppl that hav mics and all that so they can quickly give directions to their teammates instead of having to type the whole thing out.

Someone put it best when they said. "VOIP?  So you want to hear the 12-year-olds your playing against call you a newb and a racial slur?"
And honestly, a friends list?  It's more feasible now more than ever because of the Global Login, but when we have less then 50 servers, how is a friends list necesary, or better than xfire?

It's certainly not hanging out in the search results.  Is it just everyone's xfire names?


Edit:
I USE XFIRE!!!
Haha, Brian you're awesome.

Shut off the in-game chat option.  I think you have to do it on a per-game basis.  I had to do it for FEAR, but it doesn't seem to have much of a negative impact on other games.

Now you ask your friends their usernames and you add them to your friends list.

No its not that empty I have like 2 people but I only downloaded it because they didnt have IRC... But now we made a requirement that you need to have IRC to join my clan...

...My question is whether or not its worth it to have my clan use and download Xfire, whats it do exactly?

The only usefull thing xfire has that IRC doesnt is that you can see what your friends are playing and on wich server.
I think IRC is a must for a clan...no arm to have xfire too though

haha ok... and most people dont know about ServerBrowser... its in the paintball2.0 folder and it shows you exactly who is playing in what server... Its really helpful if youre trying to find someone to play with from your clan or trying to find the little booger who was talking smack before so you can go pwn him
