If you want to be able to talk to each other in Spearhead, use ventrilo. You can google it to download it here:

Here is the server information, you have to install the client and set it up first:

Server Location Texas
Server IP: 70.86.90.150:3795
Server Name: Quadassassinz
Server Phonetic: Quadassassinz
Server Comment: Hosted by quadassassinz.com
Auth Type: 0
Users: 0 / 15 max

Make sure that in the client, you set a username that you want, and click setup and make sure you set a key to use for your push to talk.

Mine in the example below is mouse4.. You can then click "Test" and push the key you setup for PTT to see if you can hear yourself. If so, you are probably good to go.

Personally I use Vent during TF2 as well. Good solution to playing with your friends even if you aren't on the same team, without turning on alltalk.

Feel free to use this one if you'd like for TF2, but if Spearhead people come in you will have to STFU.. LOL

I don't know if there is a way to setup different sessions for multiple games or not.

You can create multiple channels in the vent server and just ask that people move to the appropriate ones when they connect.

Here is some more setup info in case anyone gets confused..

Also, Nessie discovered that if you use a keyboard key as your PTT instead of a mouse button, it might cause a bunch of unwanted dings and sounds when you try to talk. You may want to try using a mouse button if that is an option.


**Edit: on the note about double clicking the connection.. actually you just click the "Connect" button. My bad.

Nah I have my own server up, but its only 10 slots. Also the way to disable that annoying sound is to go into your windows control panel>sounds and disable "default beep".
If you log into your controls for it though you should be able to pw it/add some more channels!

Baby steps man, I don't want to complicate it with a pw just yet! People are having enough trouble connecting to it already.

I added the other channels. There are "Clan Chat", a "Spearhead" and "TF2" channels. We have 15 slots, so I can't really see it getting full very often. Everyone remember after connecting, to click into the appropriate channel for the game you are going to play.

Thanks for the info on disabling the annoying sounds.

I have had a Vent for us to use for months. I made a post on here and the only ones to use it was merc and webjay. I would like to use it again so Up if you want to shoot me the admin pass or make me a account with my own admin... and i will make some channels that suit the server. Unless you know exactly how to do it. Then make a Spearhead and a TF2 channel and for some purposes make a AFK channel.

Added it to my vent. Yeah, we need an afk channel.

I know several of you have ventrilo servers, but at the time you announced it, nobody was playing Spearhead which has no native voice chat ability. Thus, the need now for one. I didn't think it appropriate for us to just "Horn in" on one of your existing servers. It wasn't that I didn't like and want to have sex with all of your servers.. I just didn't "Need" one at that time. Your servers don't look fat in that outfit and are all still beautiful, even though they are getting a little older.

I added the afk channel. If you need anything else on it let me know.
