My buddy wasn't on last night (usually us two and a random) so I had to play with randoms. Only one time did anybody have a mic. Of course this guy is jumpmaster and jumps immediately off the bus, botched the landing so we're 100 meters short of the building and we get destroyed with no weapons. Turned it off after that. Weird because the first few days I played it seemed like about 75% of the people not only had a mic but were helpful. They'd say "you're gonna want this attachment if you have a shotgun" and ping a precision choke or something.

I’d like to take this moment to say if you are one of those people who don’t have or don’t use a mic, please uninstall the game. You are toxic, regardless if you ping or not.



Not using a mic is toxic?

Finally got that first win last night, slowly starting to get the hang of this game.

The weapons I've been doing the best with are the peacekeeper, spitfire, wingman, and G7.

Yes, not using a mic is toxic.

You’re playing a cooperative, competitive, internet game where accurate and timely communication of information is crucial to victory.

So yeah, if I get put in a lobby with your dumbass, and we can’t communicate properly because you either don’t have - or don’t want to use - a microphone in the year 2019 ... you are toxic.

You’re deliberately handicapping my chances of winning with your technological autism.

I agree. People that don’t use mics in squad games like this are essentially throwing the game. I’m at the point where I’m just going to back out if I’m stuck with 2 tards that won’t put a mic in.

Since I made this post I’ve played 8 different games with no one talking but me. Yea frick that, if no else has mics I’m dipping out.

I am not 100% positive on that. If they do have some it is way smaller than COD or fortnite. I have yet to feel it pull me in any direction. Also there is no option to turn it off in the settings. Yet to be confirmed by respawn either way. Titanfall did have slight aim assist.

There is definitely a slight aim assist.

Yeah the people screaming "OVER HERE OVER HERE OVER HERE" are much more accurate than pinging directly on top of an enemy.

Respawn did a great job with every aspect of the game as a whole minus a few minor quirks I don't like, but those quirks are just from me being a heavy pubg player (like ttk, head Bob, etc)

Your ping doesn’t give me information like how many enemies are there, what legends exactly, if you threw an air strike or they did, or how do you want to engage them. It just tells me something might be there.

If you’re not using your mic, you’re wrong.

I get that, but when all the person does is ping, in my mind, that means attack. So I go and attack, get knocked and possibly eliminated. Only to find out that my teammates are nowhere to be found.

A mic can better prepare teams on how to attack. Using just the ping system doesn’t allow that. You know-it-all frick tards are delusional thinking the ping system is good enough to replace real voice communication.


How do you guys think the Twitch Rivals tournament would’ve went, or even today’s Code Red tournament, if none of the players used discord to communicate? It would’ve been a fricking nightmare.

Y’all done got me riled up about this topic again.

Obviously free communication is optimal...when done correctly, but at the same time not everyone knows how to communicate effectively and just fills the moment with unnecessary noise.

I've played with people that I wish they didn't have a mic at all because all they did was spout out useless information like "Over here!" "The building!" and "He's shooting at me!"

You can say mics are better until your face is blue, but you'll never convince me this pinging system is a bad thing. I've gotten way more information where I would have otherwise gotten next to none in this game because of it.

I didn’t explain my pov very (no sarcasm). The ping system is great when used IN ADDITION to voice communication. When I scream, “OVER HERE!!!”, I’m gonna ping where “OVER HERE!!!” is located. And give you the low down on the situation.

I can’t stand when a no-mic pings something and I have no idea how to proceed.
