Using Voice Communications
Many report that Black Ops III has a much improved voice comms system although its default settings must be adjusted. Of course mics vary.

Try the following settings in-game and/or use TeamSpeak[www.teamspeak.com], DiscordApp[discordapp.com], Skype[www.skype.com], Mumble[www.mumble.com], Steam Voice, or other alternatives.
** Especially these!
  • VOICE Voice Chat Enabled
  • VOICE Voice Chat Volume: 1.00
  • VOICE Voice Chat Record Level: 0.50
  • VOICE Push to Talk: Enabled ** by default everyone hears everything!
      ...or just use your open mic responsibly
  • AUDIO Voice Volume: 1.00
  • AUDIO SFX Volume: 0.75 **
  • AUDIO Master Volume: 0.50 ** way too loud by default
TO MUTE OTHERS Use Tab and Arrow keys.
NOW Gathering Narrator Callouts
Comment below with the Grid Point and any automatic callouts mentioned by the in-game narrator.

example: Stronghold Grid E5 was called "Courtyard"

Feel free to post YouTube links including the Video Start Time.

Custom Callouts to be added later (TBD later)
Only after we have all the official callouts identified will we start debating our own callouts. We may follow MLG's suggested callouts for greater consistency.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
  • UNIQUE - "Red House", not "Room"
  • OBVIOUS - clear to anyone who's explored the map before
  • EASY TO HEAR / TYPE - quick and distinctive to say through a noisy game

EXAMPLE FROM ADVANCED WARFARE
BASE MAPS: Hunted, Combine, Evac, Stronghold, Redwoord, etc

ABOUT US
The open TM8 gaming groups after endless hours of "No Games Found" in Advanced Warfare. With our small playerbase constantly divided by DLC restrictions and so many other PC games, the latest DLC maps and modes were literally unplayable. But now, we have several active groups connecting hundreds of players with gaming opportunities including many clans, all DLC options, and supporting every skill level (including games with a healthy skill gap). We welcome anyone who supports improved morale in PC gaming.

[TM8]™ SPONSORED GROUPS - ACTIVELY PLAYING
NOTE: Anyone with a VAC or other ban will be kicked. Cheating, spam, and abusive behavior cannot be tolerated. We may request live broadcasts.

Similarly, off topic and trolling comments will be deleted below. Constructive contributions are welcomed.

We're not sure if the Beta Community will remain or not. But don't worry. I've been saving backup copies of each one so they can be recreated in the main Hub as soon as they enable Guide there.

I mean automatically deleted.

Will your guides from BO3 beta be deleted once the Beta is over? :| I hope not.
