I recently got a headset and I use it a lot on a bunch of games for PC. I was just wondering if Halo or any Halo CE custom games will support the headset. If you know please tell me and if you know of a good server with lots of headsets please tell me also.
Thanks!

unfortunately I must end your positive enthusiasm as Halo PC or CE for that matter, do not support headsets or online voice communication, you could still use headphones, but there is no system in place to support an in-game voice comm. system, nor will there ever be...either hopefully wait for Halo 2 PC or try Halo 2 on Xbox, blame Gearbox for this lack of a good comm system, the only way to communicate with other players is a crappy typing system which doesn't let you move or shoot while typing, and only limits you to about 10-15 words before cutting your message off, sucks, I know...

EDIT: while I usually tend not to end on a low note so there is a download called x-fire which creates a simple interface to type-chat with other x-fire users, and trust me there are many Halo PC x-fire users including myself, there is also an associated additional download called "TeamSpeak" which let's u join a 'server' in teamspeak so you and anyone you know playing Halo PC can talk to each other, and arrange to meet online, and I assume you can use a headset for this as well, so you can laways consider getting this.
