So what do you make of this then.

I think we need to invite the Valve team on to the regs server one night when me bed and neg have had a drink or two

lol - what i wanna know is how the hell do they know this? I think they're making this up - surely they have no idea how much someone on a server not run by them is using their mic?

run netgraph and it tells you how much voice data you're sending. I guess it's pretty easy for Valve to get that data and analyse it by region.

I'm sure HH parties account for more than 50% of all UK voice traffic in TF2!!

Its weird I give up PC gaming for a bit and UKs ingame voice traffic drops.

I think valve need to play on more UK based community run servers

ah ok makes sense i guess

more likely americans are just spamming over their mics a la HON style and drowning us brits out hehe

it is quite true tho even on tf2 - a lot of the time i feel like i'm the only one using my mic to shout out where enemies are etc lol

I'll kill them.

Yeah most american comms are 12 year olds that are spamming never gonna give you up thinking they are cool

I think it coz of all the foreigners who dont speakenglsuh

A large portion of US servers i've played on have all-talk on aswell with at least one person trying to play an entire song over the mic.. no wonder the stats show more mic usage for them.

when was the last time you remember neg having a drink?
