    Default Voice Chat does NOT work...

    Please, SL, look into this. The voice chat simply doesn't work. All I can hear from other people is chops and distortion (and it's not my headset, I'm sure - it did work quite okay when I did a test chat with Mad-Ice over the XMB).
    I don't know exactly what's wrong with it, but as it stands, it's useless.

    I've found that with every PS3 game online myself, not just WO. Not that I've tried it with WO, you understand, just never bothered because of the problem.

    I haven't heard anyone either (yes when displaying the microphone icon) and no one has ever responded to me

    I've had plenty of good conversations through burnout paradise, so I know it CAN work.
    but man is it ever awful trying to communicate with elhabib in game.. it was too compressed/garbled to be useful at all.
    we resorted to typing messages in xmb while in the lobby instead of using voice chat

    VOIP worked fine for me, though the quality is a bit lower than in Burnout.

    Grr. And I was thinking it would be just like racing Forza 2 - players cutting up, joking and stuff in the lobby - except much more intimate and friendly, all in near-perfect clarity.

    That needs to be on the high-priority "fix list" when a patch arrives.

    I heard one or two words when we were in the tournamement, sound quality was aweful but i heard other guys pretty clearly in other tournaments so i dunno what's wrong ...

    Btw you and Mad-Ice mean business in tournaments lol

    I think it might have to do with both the headsets and connection. I couldn't hear my friend properly, but he could hear me nicely. Oh and El, when I first joined your game, you were crystal clear mate.

    yeah, the voice chat is pretty much useless as it works right now. But then again, I have never seen any good voice-chat implementation on PS3, so I didn't really expect much.

    I have a commercial 50-man ventrilo server running from my days as WOW-gamer, and if it has any interest you are all welcome to use that for some quality chatting. It does however require you to have a laptop or computer running next to you.

    Let me know if it has any interest?
