Talking Good online PC games where you can use microphone?

I like games like the new Battlefield 6 and Left 4 Dead 2. Yesterday I played a L4D2 workshop community map and I was talking with my team, it was fun.

I am actually pretty damn good at Left 4 Dead. I got all achievements for both Left 4 Dead 1 and 2 legit. Now I just use SAM for any Steam game cause I don't care about achievements anymore. Think it's stupid to do them if you can just hack them with no penalty.

Do you know any other cool games where you're in a small team maybe of 4 or 6 players and you can use a mic? Only good games. No matter which genre, fps, racing, mmo.

Like are there any cool online games on Steam where you are allowed to use mic and play PvP (or PvE co-op like in L4D2)?

There's a game making the rounds where you literally say the word for the spell you want to cast, e.g. "Fireball!" and then it casts it.
There seems to be a short delay, I assume for the speech recognition software.

Counter Strike Source community servers are still active.
Some 1.6 servers are still active as well, but I think a lot of the CS community that didn't want to move to CS 2 just migrated to source.

graphically, yes source is better. But I think, aside from maybe one or two changes (maybe the riot shield from CS:CZ is still present in source and some guns renamed?,) source was just CS 1.6 updated in the source engine?

I played CS: Source a lot when I was young, $2000$ and ak47_aim or deagle_aim maps, or just gungame and stuff like that, even zombie survival (zombie escape is boring). And I had a hell lot more fun than in cs:go and cs2. The guns just feel better, the animation for quickswitch with AWP and you know where your bullets go spraying AK-47...

I still don't know how to spray with AK-47 in CS2 and that's why I burst or single shot there. I stopped playing CS2 for good. You have to be glued to the screen and my eyes hurt from the bright lights of the map. CS: Source felt darker and more pleasant to my eyes.

I played CS1.6 only in school in programming lessons cause they were too complicated and boring and I didn't wanna learn programming. Someone of other class brought a USB stick with self extracting CS1.6.exe or .bat
I think you can download 1.6 self extracting exe from internet for free. It would be like 20 Megabytes or something. It's like a .rar but it's an .exe and everytime you start it the game loads and you can play 1.6 LAN so we were like 6 people playing that ice map and they all sucked cause they didn't play enough Source. I love that I can switch to 1.6 if I wanted and still be good since the aim is the same as Source...

I must play some CS: Source again. Maybe I'm missing out. And maybe try 1.6 or is that a waste of time if Source is better anyway? I dislike buying bullets in 1.6 and the shield is also pretty lame...

I dont think the shield is in 1.6. It was implemented in condition zero, which came after 1.6.

It's also been decades sine I've really played cs so I could be wrong.
