No, but I think I will download this after reading. Looks cool

Yes, I do.
I find it quite easy to use, and receive no lag from it.

NaturalSelector is my Xfire.

Well, it's not JUST for this game, it's for other games as well.
You can't PM someone in-game, therefore Xfire or something else would be a great solution to that problem.

Also, it has an in-game chatting feature, but I don't think it's been added for Combat Arms yet.

It works well if you have a bunch of friends you like to talk to, but don't play the same games. Comes with an ingame recording system though not sure how well that works. Shows what games your friends are playing and such. Think of it like a video game version of AIM. Much much better than the ingame buddy system which seems to be broken every couple of weeks.

I second this, as Xfire is more of just than a chatting system, it also contains voice/video. (It's reported the video barely works, though I'm not completely sure.)

Ventrilo is usually used over TS, as it's newer.

It lags less, which is always a plus.
It's common throughout games, it's just easier to use than the in-game chat system.

Because it's a messenger program geared toward gamers. There are many features which makes it much much better than AIM or MSN or anything else that's just meant for chatting.

If you were to use aim while you're playing combat arms while a friend of yours is playing WoW or something. You'd have to alt-tab all the time to see what he/she said and to respond. Xfire actually works in a game like an ingame messenger. I stated that a little confusing so let me explain more. While you're playing combat arms, you can bring up the xfire chat by pressing whatever hotkey you created. From there you can type a message to your friend without having to alt-tab. Same thing if you're friend is playing a completely different game. All he/she has to do is press whatever hotkey they created and the chat system will pop up in their game and they can reply back to you. And since it's a messenger, you don't have to be in game to talk to your buddies who are battling up ingame.

Another handy feature is to be able to see which of your friends are playing a game and which game they are playing without having to go into each individual game to find out if they're playing or not. I believe if someone is playing a steam game, you can even join on the server they are in from Xfire.

A few things that are cool, but need work is the Xfire voice chat and Xfire video recording.
