30 meters..

You can gather up to coordinate with another squad, then move out to engage the objective.. once you make contact your not going to be YELLING out to somebody a football field away from you and have them understand you over the din of battle..

forget yelling in combat.. it was singing AND A GAME OF MARCO POLO ^^

You were horribly misinformed by people making assumptions then spreading them around as for sure facts.

I've got a problem.

I'm using a USB Headset/Microphone from Logitech

This is what mine looks like when I do the Audio --> Settings

Why does mine look different from this guy's in the video.

I'm missing all the other tabs, and yes I currently do have the most up to date version of mumble.

I really like the realism mumble brings, but am weary of extended use as it leads to severe headaches. If TS and squad comms in game were disabled completely, I as the SL only had comms to the commander and Mumble, then It would be very enjoyable, and supremely realistic. Otherwise It's just overlapping chatter and me running around yelling "make it stop, make it stop" more than usual.

Long live our People, united and free.
Strong in our friendship tried by fire. Long may our crimson flag inspire,
Shining in glory for all men to see.

If you think 100m is to much pull it down to 50m yourself thats what I did and its great for me. Hopefully newer versions of mumble will be in with fixed settings so that we don't have to have people complaining about the program when they havn't even set it up right...

i dont think mumble should be a substitute for squad voip. last night i joined a squad that was only using mumble...i didnt have it yet. i tried to comunicate with squad viop, and got no response. now imagine a first time pubbie joining. at least i knew about mumble...people who dont will get frustrated and leave (like i did).

Was incredibly chaotic the two rounds me and my squad was using mumble. Made teamspeak squads from then on, requiring my squad members to get in our TS channel and the rounds improved from then on and eventually I got some good members. Even after getting on TS I was rather frustrated by the lack of inter-squad teamwork though. By the time I got a decent squad I was getting so fed up by the general nubbery that I probably wasn't doing great as a squad leader.

As to mumble, it'll certainly find it uses and it is obviously the most realistic substitute to teamspeak out there, but that doesn't mean that it improves communication(quite the opposite). I don't know about you guys, but I'm not going to start yelling or whispering into my microphone depending on where the enemy is and how far away squad members are. Currently, I've found Mumble useful for two things; overhearing hostile chatter and communicating with other nearby squads, particularly transport designated squads(pilots, drivers.

I use it as an addition to squad VOiP. If I have a whole squad on mumble I start to brief my squad about what we are going to do, and then I assign a fire team leader which will lead Bravo team. The fire team leaders communicate with each other (If split up) via squad VOiP and squad members communicate via mumble. To me it gives much more immersion to the game (And it gives me a reason to have mission briefings :P)

Ehh I don't get it what is this mumble? Is it a part of TS software that is working with BF2 and taking distances from BF2 to TS? Or what are you guys talking about?

*edit* already found it

Mumble identifies where you are in-game, so if you and another person are using mumble and theother person stands on your left you hear him from the left. You can also set a max range that you can hear, meaning that if you set your max range at 50m and the guy is talking to you from 60m you cannot hear him.

Mumble is not TS, I use TS for long range messages to other Squad leaders. I use mumble when I talk to squadmembers that are close and squad leaders that are close.

The problem is when people stand outside caves saying surrender.
