I got a Turtle Beach X11 headset for Christmas and it got me thinking.

The noise that comes out of the XBox can be routed through the soundcard on my Mac and then back out of the Mac into the headphones, but obviously with a little latency. A $20 audio mixer could be used to solve the latency problem. There is a takeoff from my Turtle Beach (Pink wire) so it can be used with a computer as well, and testing shows that you can make use of the mic for both audio to the Mac and to the XBox 360 at the same time.

So, if you have a headset that allows and a computer nearby this you could make use of both Ventrilo and XBox Live Chat at once. If this was available for Fireteam Leaders and Squad Leaders a seperate command net could be created on Ventrilo. Vent allows you to easily mute and unmute mic & headphones so no real problems with Crosstalk there and I'm sure members won't mind a little on the in game chat. This would allow us to co-ordinate up to 12 people in one game with three fireteams (2 FTL and 1 SL).

Yes, I used to you the pink computer mic comm. wire to do test commentaries and stuff, but for some reason I have a problem setting the right volumes for my mic and game sound sometimes the game interferes with chat and vice versa with with the gameplay being too loud

That'd be a good idea.

im PC!!

actually, last night we had an opportunity having a full team and coordination was good. 2 squads were in the 8 man chat together and our squad was the odd man out. we dominated a lot that way.

Yes the odd man out squad had search & destroy duty. It did work quite well.

i think this was the first time i've witnessed this setup in game and it was very smooth i must say.

technically, we all know how our 13 members operate and just being in squad chat works well too.
