[quote name='JN25WIL']Yeah known issue from day 1 that gearbox never fixed which still bugs me to no end!! I hope it's a non issue in BL2 and no other bad glitches or bugs in it. There's all kinds of silly work arounds that didn't work for me and my buddy when we played co-op. Problem seems to mainly reside with bluetooth headsets only. If anyone is using a bt mic, no matter the quality, brand, etc it will cause everyone issues. My buddy and I both were using the official Sony PS bt's and it was a constant problem.
Supposedly using wired headsets will eliminate the issue. I have a nice wired set now but haven't used it in bl playing co-op so can't confirm or deny if that is a reliable work around. My buddy loves the freedom of the bt and doesn't care for full headsets to game so couldn't convince him to see if that would fix the voice issue.
If you guys try that and it works lmk please. And if anyone needs another for co-op give me a shout.[/QUOTE]
I used to use an old Socom 1 headset with the volume wheel and mute button on it. It worked well at times, but other times my friends would always say I would break up when trying to say something. Admittedly that was probably also partially my connection at fault since I have 1.5mb download and a fifth of that upload(ya know, the number that really counts
).
Since I finally cracked open the official Sony headset and used that with Dead Island and Inversion to play through both via co-op I've started getting used to using the in-ear ones.
Mind ya, I really still dislike how they feel. But it's better than hearing 'what?' every 20 seconds.
I was tempted to pick up one of those Rocketfish headsets that're universal from the BB gaming blowout for $13 or whatever they were, since supposedly they work really well. But as it stands I have an official Sony wired one sitting here too that I got with an @Gamer coupon for $5 a while ago to fall back on if I get tired of the BT one.
[quote name='shadowkast']Sorry i bailed on you guys the other night. I felt like i was stealing all the kills. That and i was drinking so i didn't have the patience watching new guys kinda wander around (no offense). Short version, this is my third playthrough without ever actually finishing, just trying to plow through the story and dlc. I'm only level 26, I'm sure you all will catch up to me before i actually finish
Definitely want to do the arenas with you all though[/QUOTE]
That's alright. I just noticed the huge openness of the game world and wanted to go exploring. I figured this game was like every other game, in that once ya eliminated enemies from an area they stayed gone. So I figured once we killed everything in an area, then I could explore a bit and loot some shit. I guess not though.
