How in the world am i supposed to use the voice chat on this game? I know I need a USB compatible headset, but then what? Also, does it cost money to use voice chat, excluding headset costs?

Thanks in advance!

I don't use a USB compatible headset... never even seen one actually. As far as cost, it depends what you use. It costs money to run a teamspeak server, but there are servers available to people I think. I don't know but I think Ventrilo is free (never used it). I use Skype, but there is a limit in Skype as to how many people can be in the same chat at once... think it's 6 people.

TeamSpeak is free, but you have to find a public server for it (not very hard to do). Also, a lot of the larger guilds, and even the multi-game guilds, have their own TeamSpeak server set up already. Go to http://www.teamspeak.org to download the client.

And how exactly does it work? Does it like show up as a message? Or do you hear their voice?

TeamSpeak is a third-party program that will run in the background. You bind a key on your keyboard to talk. You hear the other people in your channel talk. If you have played Half-Life (or most other FPSs), it's like how it works in there.

Okay, so how many people are limited to using it? I'm hoping at least eight so we can try HoH...

TeamSpeak can have a fairly unlimited amount of people, if you have a good server.
