Play on a server where they have public enabled and it helps if you have everyone put the following in their autoexec.cfg

s_volume_voipin_db 0
s_volume_voipout_db 0

By default, those values are -6, which is too quiet.

Yeah, if you have VOIP on, it means you can talk publicly. But on campaign/standard freeplay in whatever modes its deactivated anyway.

Really dumb idea if you ask me.

I just play advanced/competitive, found that a few people talk on there, but none anywhere else.

You can set up a server to have public voip on in any game mode.

Not on campaign and stuff on 360.... Unless I'm missing something really obvious... but I've looked before and can't find it. Only on freeplay and custom modes I've been able to change it.

i'm pretty sure fisticuffs is talking about PC server setup, and everyone else is talking about consoles.
