It may not be ideal, but not everyone has mic, and its not really fair that you should have to buy a new device to be successful at gane. I have series of proposals designed to increase communication without mics in battle.
A banner on top of the HUD that shows text chat messages from the chat channel the user is currently on (squad chat, or team chat). This may be unwanted since it would add more distraction to the screen, so it should only be optional.
There should be speech bubbles above the head of the person who sent the message. It works for other MMOs.
In the item selection wheel, there should be an icon that opens a list of preset voice messages, like "I need ammo", "I need repairs", "I need backup", and "Follow me". These sorts of simple messages are not as good as a mic, but it does improve communication for those without mics.
Preset voice message requests (like an ammo request) should appear on the minimap as blinking friendly icons on the requester's location, so those who wish to help may find the requester. (I have a similar idea for changing the placement of Squad Commands wheel here) Another possible thing to consider is having the option to have the killfeed replaced with a text chat and requests feed.
To CCP: This is semi-related, but why is voice chat set OFF by default? Many like myself have made threads requesting that the default setting gets changed to ON, and I'm sure you guys have seen them before, you read the forums. Is there a particular reason why its best to have it off? |

I agree with what you say by voice commands like "I need repairs" etc. However I think that we need more of the universal voice (the one that says: Objective B hacked, virus upload in progress.) It should say something like: Hostile enemy code detected at objective B. By having this you do not have to pay too much attention at the top of the screen where it says if an objective is getting hacked.
The preset voice commands that you speak of is a great idea, but it needs to be accessable easily and not by having to go through several menus like when you are going to order a vehicle. |

I'm not really sure where else to put the voice commands, but at least in this method people will see they are available when they open up their item wheel. |

I like this a lot. I'm sure that doesn't come as a surprise to you given the direction that the "Uninstall" thread went.
Since L-Pad is currently used for P-T-T, we can somewhat accurately assume that users wouldn't have this functionality required since they have no microphone. Alternatively we could "hold x;" however if prone / slide / other movement becomes functional then I would like to see X remain the vertical modifier.
If the pad is completely full then I don't see any reason why the R2 Wheel couldn't be made to have the voice commands. Maybe R2 HOLD then L2 to toggle into the communication commands? |

It's not a bad idea. Now that 'START' brings up the tacmap as well as down on the D-PAD, it means CCP could assign down d-pad for quick commands or something.

Good point, that is redundant. It could be used for these kinds of voiceless comms options. |

Command Wheel would be good in my opinion. There's a bunch of free space on that thing anyways. |
