Xfire Integrates With Hellgate: London

I was talking to some of the Xfire guys at BlizzCon a few weeks back and they told us this was being announced and today they have finally issued an official press release confirming the arrangement with Flagship Studios. 

The Xfire voice chat functionality in Flagship's Hellgate London will be provided by the Xfire team using their Xfire’s peer-to-peer communication system. This eliminates the need for a server and players will be able to login to Xfire from within the game.

"By integrating Xfire’s voice chat feature into Hellgate: London, we are able to strengthen our online community and make it even easier for our players to connect together online,” said Tyler Thompson, Technical Director of Flagship Studios. “The Xfire package will bolster the overall gaming experience for our users.”

“Working with Flagship Studios on HellGate: London has been tremendous,” said Adam Boyden, General Manager of Xfire. “Not only will the game blow people away, but the seamless Xfire integration will enhance the gamer’s overall experience and ease of play.

Drawback with this? We're not sure if there are any right now, it all depends on how it is integrated but not being a huge fan of Xfire myself it may be an irritation for some players who will end up resorting to Teamspeak or Ventrillo.
