integrated voice comm is not a good idea, will probably be really really really buggy, why even try, just put it in cs2 or something

I think it's kinda retarded to complain about this being annoying etc, because look at Tribes 2. It has integrated voice communication and how many people actually use it on pub servers? I've seen all of three people in the time that I've played it (since the day it came out).

A lot of people are afraid of actually talking online, because they're shy and whatnot.

My position on this:

cl_allowdownload 0
cl_allowupload 0

Also, I'll disable this new feature. I hate it when extra features (maps, textures, decals, models, and now this) end up hogging a little bit of bandwidth that could be used for the actual netgame. Sure, it's innovative, but today's broadband isn't quite broad enough to accomodate everything.

"We're planning on releasing a broadband codec later on," says Johnson, "that uses the same technology that cell phones use. So you can imagine how clear it's going to be."
