Battlecom

Battlecom is proprietary voice conferencing software . It is mostly used by computer players in parallel to online games (mainly first-person shooters such as Tactical Ops or Counter-Strike ) to enable game-independent communication between the players of a team and thus gain advantages (transmission of the position of opposing players, etc.) .).

The development at Battlecom was stopped with version 1.32 in 1999, because Microsoft bought the developer ShadowFactor in June 1999 and u. a. used to develop its own Voice over IP software . This resulted in the Microsoft hardware-software combo Sidewinder Gamevoice in September 2000 . Due to the strong decline in the spread of Battlecom, the interest of the guild, which is preferred to play, has increasingly concentrated on alternatives such as Ventrilo , Mumble or TeamSpeak .
