PROs and CONs TIME !

PROs
- able to speak freely without the need to know how to type
- able people to easily follow a conversation in the chat room
- the ability to speak without losing a match because you typed in the chat window during a game !

CONs
- in the general chat room, it will end up being a big false note festival because everyone will be speaking at the same time !
- during a game, will cause more lag and modem freeze because 56k users will not be able to support so much bandwitdth which the VOICE OVER IP is producing !

other then those... its a great idea, i would suggest it only in a HOST/JOIN CHAT ROOM tho ! being a 56k user myself, i know i will not use it during a game because then the game would become a living hell throwing me back to the day this game started with always over 3000 of ping ! which = a really not playable experience !

believe me, the microphone is a good idea, but it takes even more then a microphone to make a really good conversation over the net ! it takes a lot of the bandwidth of the modem, it actually takes a lot because of the size the data is. and since there is no way to reduce it, then the data (voice of the person speaking) will take over the modem until that send and receive is made.

now imagine that to a high scale, let's during a whole match of you staying on the line like that. the microphone will simply always send and receive data just like the game is already. but this time, the microphone will take all the bandwitdh there is and the game will start to lag even then it does !

all that even with a very good machine !
