Any timeline on when we'll be getting this back? I feel like this is an integral part of what makes a tactical shooter tactical. The ability to communicate without stopping and typing things out is so important for giving orders, organization, planning etc. I find that it also adds significantly to replay-ability as a solo player. I could go on about this, but I feel like at least proximity based VC will also add to the ambiance in combat. Any word from the devs on this?
Yeah EC definitely needs voicechat...in one form or another, be it proximity-based or not, but we gotta have it, badly. Personally i reckon it'd be cool if a voice filter could be implemented for each race so that if u, say, play Ork, your voice sounds orkish in VC, etc etc Would add up to immersion and really make our lives easier in terms of teamplay.
