Regarding In-Game Voice Chat

I feel slightly stupid for asking this question, but is there anyway to make it so other players voices come through the headphones your using to speak with while having game sound play through your speakers?

    That's a great idea, but I don't think anything like that exists within the game itself (yet).

    If you move up to more competitive playing, there are what are called "gathers" where people go to a certain website and pick teams, then play a more serious match. These matches use Teamspeak/Ventrilo to coordinate with their team, which might be what you're looking for. Clan matches would probably do the same.

    Short answer is no, not possible.

    What BVKnight was talking about is using a dedicated program like Ventrillo, Teamspeak or Mumble for voice chat. NS2 will use the default sound output device as set in Windows, so you would need a more specalised audio program to use a non-default device at the same time that NS2 used the default. I'm not actually sure if any of those programs can do that, off the top of my head. Anyway, even if you could get this to work it would surely cause a problem for other people because your microphone would pick up the game noises from your speakers :/

    It's not possible now, but it's certainly possible from a technical standpoint if UWE wanted to do so; there's nothing stopping a piece of software from initializing multiple audio output devices and sending different data to different ones.

    We also need to be able to Auto-Mute people with a certain pitch of voice.

    I think my ears were bleeding last night from our squeaky commander lol

    EDIT: Oh and, if someone says "Bro" every sentence then it should temporarily enable friendly fire.

    It sounds like what you really want is some sort of pitch-normalization that automatically shifts the pitch to a tolerable level ;)

    That would also work. (Also I edited my previous post to include Friendly Fire)
