Hey, just woundering how you get into the global chat every one is in as they seem to not be able to see my messages, and when i can hear people talking they can not here me, any ideaS?

Click the . and , keys outside of chat, or the up and down arrow with the chat box open, to switch channels. Most people use the SIDE channel, because it highlights text blue.

Hopefully direct chat will be implemented soon. Until then use the blue text chat like Hunter said.

Right now, global chat is activated via holding down the caps lock. Don't do this! It lags up the server and is generally considered rude. :)

Thanks for the Global Chat VOIP explanation, makes sense why people were yelling at me in Side chat now.

Pro tip:

Go into your controls and UNBIND CAPS LOCK and 2X CAPS LOCK. These use Voice on your currently selected channel. I then bound a specific, convenient, key to Direct Comm.

That keeps you from accidentally voice spamming the whole server..

You can find the manual on-line.

ArmA 2 Steam Group for example.

Very useful.
