suBB: aha...that's the missing piece in the puzzle, then. Voice commands. I forgot about that... No, reason I don't use it is because I don't have a mic....and I just bought new headphones and I could've got one with a mic. I somehow sensed I needed a mic when I was in the store, but forgot why....I'll go with my instincts next time.

There's a completely different game in DW, dependant on your platform. Coming from SC, I've tended to stick to the submarines, purely because that's what I know, and as long as I think I've got things to learn on them, I'll keep with them. I've dabbled with the FFG, and I had to completely change the way I thought about the game - it's too easy to try and play like a sub that can't dive; i.e. head in the sonar shack and TMA board all the time.

Subb's comments interested me. Multiplay is a hoot in DW, but I only played stock, and found that often one had to play very defensively as subsurface platforms: Often it was not a matter of if you'd be detected, but when. People still haven't quite got distances down either. I can tell when an MP map is authored by someone unfamiliar with subs - opposing units might start 40nm apart, consequently the subs will never get into the fight within the usual 2 hr timespan of a game.

HAHAHA.. man.. i MUST recommend this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...lance&n=172282

It's a work of art

It also has ventilation on the sides so your ears stay cool, plus its very comfortable.

It's so light that you won't even notice its there, seriously.

Because of it, I don't even use pc speakers anymore!

Plus i can turn the volume up as loud as i want to w/o hearing it from the ole lady :rotfl:

Yes voice commands is a must!!!

I'd rather take a small amont of time to launch CMs, fire off a snap, give order for evasion course and change depth.. then spend about a minute doing the same thing. last minute evasive maneuvers call for it someimes, where a matter of seconds makes a world of difference.

But hey, return that mic you purchased, and buy the one i showed you, it's a package deal(headset/mic)
