I was thinking about this as I notice some posts about it. It appears that a lot of people are using either TeamSpeak or Ventrilo instead of Viop. So my question is, "Why is TS or Vent not an option in the server menu of BF2? If you don't have it then so be it no harm no foul.
Some options on how it can work:
If you do have it, before you click on that server to play a particular map(s) there should be an option to enter the TM/Vent address (be it automatic by that address or you manually input that address). Then you click on that server and enter that map and play with TS/Vent. enabled on a TS/Vent enabled server.
Other idea
All Admins will need an option on the server menu for TeamSpeak or Ventrilo beside the ping and # of Players. All that is required is a check mark to say they have it and in the description of each server an address to enter. However, I believe Dice needs to enable an option on behalf the admins of these ranked servers the ability to automatically enable either TS or Vent. (depending which of the 2 you have and which of the 2 are used on that ranked server) without worrying about entering an address.
If we no longer enter addresses to enter servers (by a simple click of a button) that same option needs to be afforded to us when using TS or Vent.
Bottom line no if, and or buts, no double talk, no personal feelings and most of all we don;t what your person opinion of the matter...this is an option the customer wants!
