Is a headset mandatory to have a great time playing FPS games?

communication and teamwork is a lot easier if you have a headset

now just think about how often you're likely to encounter people who want to do that, and that's how useful a headset will be to you

Get a pair of proper headphones and a proper, standalone mic, both in the ~$50-$200 range Then you will be credit to team.

People used to talk all the time in tf2.

Why did the f2p update have to ruin all the fun things?

I agree. These types of moments will never happen anymore.

Can confirm.

Come ascend and join the adult sect of gaming where women and homosexuals and blacks are considered people.

Nah, what you need is studio monitor headphones with a wide soundstage so you can hear footsteps, and either a clip on mic or a desktop mic like the Snowball.

No. Most people don't use them, and the ones that do are total dickwagons. Only get a mic if you have friends you're going to play with.
