Da best, tee eff 2 update ever.

Moment I get on servers, I mute everyone voice wise. I just do. I find voice chat in games annoying.

The team balance vote ability is determined by server settings so if you are on a server where the owner chose not to use it or they use a plugin (Sourcemod) instead then it may not work as advertised.

Sourcemod also allows for the same muting options so there's another server-side plugin that can be removed now that Valve finally listened to us players/server ops after several years and added the option to the game.

Now if they just get rid of the damned hats and market items like it used to be in the beginning I'd really be happy.

Jedi Academy let you \ignore certain players if they were spamming or if they looked at you funny. Granted, no voice speech and you needed TS or Ventrilo for it, but it's still a good thing.
