PC people as you said are required to use headsets, who keeps track of that? Are you telling me that if I go to the LAN I will see every single person in the PC section using them?

When I was PCVP I required it, and prior to that it was on the official list of LAN rules, but idk how or if it’s actually enforced anymore. Take a good look at the next LAN and you’ll see that everyone in the PC section is using a headset. There will probably be a very small handful that don’t but everyone who’s actually competing in tournaments will be using one. Put simply, I’ve never seen someone NOT using a headset make it past the first round of a tournament.

I can understand that it can be a big advantage, why do you think people buy them in the first place?

Please don’t get me wrong, I FULLY understand why they’re using them. I just don’t think it’s sporting when playing against someone who isn’t. For online matches and tournament play I totally get why they use them and if I played XBOX with any regularity I’d use one too.

Also Mitch, i’ll take you on with your challange. If you bring it up, I will play 1v1 against you.

Last I checked MS actually banned your XBOX for doing this the same as if you used pirated games. I’ll look into it some, if they don’t I might drive up for a little exhibition action :)

What we can do is have the two teams going against one another to either agree or disagree on the use of headsets, like we do when it comes to fightsticks for games like MvC3 and MK9.

I think this would fix the problem entirely.
