Admitting that it's not helpful or optimal - COULD this game be played w/o a headset? | Forums

Hey gang. I realize it's not optimal, nor helpful, I'm just wondering -- could this game (online, co-op) be played without a headset?

If I can listen to teammates (through regular headphones) but not speak to them, is it possible to get things done and not get kicked out? I'm an older dude, and wearing headphones while holding a controller and talking to the TV with other people around has always embarrassed me.

I regularly kicked *** w/o a mic on GRAW2, granted because I knew what to do (constantly looking on map, making sure to cover areas human teammates were not addressing). I admit this is not GRAW2.

So, barring "get a mic" or "I guess, but don't" -- how much fun could I have without f'ing up others experiences can I have? I cannot overstate: I realize this is not recommended. Just want to know if I could make it work.

Thanks for entertaining my question and accepting that I realize this is a compromise. Just want thoughts.

I feel as if this is something that would just depend on who you get teamed up with. Communication is definitely key, though, in any multiplayer game.

Solo- totally (Obviously)

Co-op- Sure! I would just make sure to message the other individuals and tell them what playstyle you generally use and just try to make some sort of code language with the in-game commands

Co-op? No.

Need to communicate with your squad.

Who cares what other people around you think? Seriously, if the people around you would make you feel embarrassed for talking into the mic maybe you shouldn't be around them lol.
