Now We're Talking! Steam Voice with SILK
Steam Blog - Valve
Steam's voice chat system now leverages the SILK audio codec, developed and used by Skype, makers of the world's most popular voice communication service. The SILK codec provides a significant quality improvement over Steam's previous voice technology, at the cost of some increase in bandwidth usage. Steam Voice used to require 15 kbps of bandwidth, whereas SILK is a dynamic bit rate protocol which varies in its use of bandwidth between 8 and 30 kbps, depending on the range of data in the voice signal and current network conditions.

As of today's Steam client update, voice chat using SILK is available to all users of Steam. To start using Steam chat with SILK, simply click the 'Start Voice Chat' button within a friend or group chat on Steam. You can access chat from both the friends list at the desktop, or while in game using Steam’s in-game overlay. You'll find voice chat connectivity and reliability have also been improved with this release.

Steam chat with SILK is now also automatically available for all games that take advantage of the Steamworks Voice API. Valve's own Portal 2, set to release in mid-April, uses this newly updated system to enable voice chat in its cooperative gameplay mode.

That's what Valve says

In case you are not trolling: Hidden:Source is running -as the name suggests- on the Source engine. Not on steam.
You as a Steam user are free to use the Steam chat function to talk to single "friends".

Sounds like he just wants some new way to mic-spam

[Arnold]

i thought its related to OrangeBox engine. Wierd - can not see any differences
I never tryed to spam, this is just my way to your hearts. You should not take it so seriosly - i'm not ordinary lil' kiddo, i just bring more fun to it. If people are not playing for fun (mybe for stats i dont know), that is their problem

[Arnold]

And i found it! You liars!!! I FOUND IT, now no one can stop ARNY, no more Mute

[Ice1]

As much as I do enjoy hearing you when i play arnie, please dont circumvent the mute function as not everyone does enjoy hearing you.

[Arnold]

I understand

Some new visual effect.

Blood on goggle and weapon reanimation?

From my point of view there are a view things the devs should care first:
Making the Server search somewhat reliable.
And Give missing information andd general stuff that doesn'T require a lot of effort to do ; but somewhat reactivates the forums;
Maybe a short youtube trailer about the mod revival; i.e. Short video with hidden slaughtering people; at and: "He is back alive."
Maybe that would get addiotional audience as it is currently a growing hype:

I would not concetrate on adding new stuff like new wepaons:
I would concentrate on fixing bugs and find mappers for Hidden to gain a greater variety of maps making the game more intressting for a longer time.
