DELTA FORCE 2 OPERATIONS MANUAL 25
Voice-Over-Net is a built in voice communication system for use on NovaWorld. The set up is simple and can be done
entirely while in Delta Force 2. All you will need is a Full-Duplex sound card and a microphone plugged into the Mic In (not
Line In) jack of your sound card. Note that a Half-Duplex sound card will allow you to hear other players, but not to talk.
After plugging in your Microphone (make sure it is in the Mic In and not the Line In input), start Delta Force 2 and click on
Settings. Upon starting or joining a game, all players will be defaulted to “muted” to eliminate unwanted conversation.
Unmute those players that you want to talk to.
1. Selected Player
This shows who you are currently set to talk to and their player number. Use the Tab key to cycle through the list of
players. The “muted” icon will appear after the player’s name if you have muted them. Use the Keypad + key to
unmute the currently selected player or the Keypad 0 key to mute the current talker. If their name appears in red that
means that they have muted you. In team games, you can only select players on your own side to talk with.
2. Recording Level
This bar indicates your current recording volume exactly as it was set in the Settings Menu. Use the Keypad 1 and
Keypad 3 keys to adjust this level down and up respectively.
3. Volume Unit (VU) Meter
When you speak, this bar will display your current voice levels. Your optimum range should be in the yellow area.
Going into the red indicates that you are in danger of having your speech clipped (cut off). If all three red boxes are lit,
then you are speaking too loudly and your message won’t transmit. Be careful to judge your vocal range so that
normal talking and excited yelling fit within the yellow area. The bar will also indicate your peak level (maximum
volume level reached). After you speak, the top bar you have reached will remain lit for a moment to show you where
you are peaking.
4. Incoming Message
This line appears when someone is talking to you. The “Recv” light blinks when audio packets are being received
(i.e. someone is talking to you). A few seconds after the message ends, this part of the window will automatically
close. You can reopen it to display the last person to contact you with the Keypad * key.
