For everyone with the snarky remarks that they dont want to hear annoying ppl on comms, you know there is a mute function right. Heck you can even select mute all people if you find everyone annoying, also if you just want to talk to a few ppl chances are those are the ppl in your squad and you can simply just stay or switch over to squad chat.
Personally voice comm should be on, PTT off, and all players in squad should automatically be switched to team chat on initial load and those that wish to just stay in squad chat can simply switch back, this should also apply to anyone that joins a game that is in corp or other private chat.
Everybody should be migrated to team chat when first joining the game and then if they choose to mute or move to a different channel they can do so. We all know this is the best way to ensure ppl who do use mics can at least know there are others out there, if ppl choose to ignore them after the fact, that is their prerogative but at least force them into team chat first.
This is essential to all FPS play, If someone chooses to use a mic they simply assume they will hear other mic users, they dont expect to go through secondary hoops to find them and they shouldnt have to.
Additionally they need to add in proximity chat and perhaps allow for a 2ndary PTT channel for squad chat is someone want to stay in team chat but communicate with squad only or vice versa for a specific reason. |

And from pub matches where people have their mics on, one doesn't need to have a shrill voice to be annoying as hell. Many have it on too loud, I can hear their game through their mic, they're talking privately in-game with someone they know irl, or just have stupid suggestions. So push to talk also needs to be on by default.
NO it doesnt.
Why make that the default rather then forcing the person who feels "annoyed" by others on comm to just mute them. PTT is just a dumb option that really serves no purpose at this point. It makes sense if there is proximty chat but there isnt atm.
Its simple if you have a mic it should work outta the box with NO MENU CHANGES. This should be the default, if you only want to be heard when you want then you activate PTT, if you dont want to hear someone YOU MUTE THEM.
As it is now this system benefits a minority of players most of whom are like PC players where this comm setup is the norm but now you are in console land the people who want to use comms have mics. The people who dont want comms dont even have a mic and if a mic isnt detected then they can go in option and turn voice chat off...simple.
Seriously stop the nonsense and make the game friendly to teamchat outta the "box'.
My post above is the answer you are free to disagree but there isnt one point ive seen that diminishes the quality of my point so i will this one time say my opinion is right and everyone else is wrong on this.---Sorry.

Edit- The only time PTT makes sense is in PC games where you have the additional function of text chat while in game. Our text chat in game requires a soft pause so it really makes no sense at all to have it. |

na it should be off tho because not everyone wants ther kids hearing crap on the mic i dont have kids but my nephews like to play dust without having to hear adult chat by default
Okay and again that is a smaller base, simply change the options when you first load up the game, the options save you know.
This btw is the case with every other game on market kids will get exposed to stuff they shouldnt. Not saying its right but perhaps, More to the point the simple fix is if mics isnt detected voice chat is turned off. There are also parental controls in PS i think that can filter and block chat channels i think.
My point is that the options are there for you to turn them off, why should the larger majority be forced to turn them on?

na it should be off tho because not everyone wants ther kids hearing crap on the mic i dont have kids but my nephews like to play dust without having to hear adult chat by default + 1 Mics on at release and  -1 for not having push to talk on (i curse a lot) but i do say lots of funny crap to. But trust me you dont want to hear my twins screeming in the background. OH yeah and can i get some likes i mean seriuosly dude in in here everyday, and i only have 26 kinda makes me feel unappriciated. So go ahead click on the like button on the top right . Common do it i know you want to. YOU CAN DO IT. >>>> 
Again you can go to options and turn PTT on yourself.
See how this works the smaller playerbase that have these types of issues/concerns can use the menu options to change how comms work for them while the larger playerbase has "out of the box" functionality.

I don't want to hear you eat, and I don't want to here you shooting. If you have something worth saying, it'll be easy to say out of combat. Not using push to talk is extremely stupid.
Okay well when i turn off PTT what do you do, just mute me anyway right, or you're in squad chat and you dont hear me at all. Whats the difference.
Moreover most ppl keep PTT off anyway so not seeing how your issue though merit worthy solves the larger issue that nobody uses it anyway and those that do can simply turn it on.
More to the point based on the way you phrased your sentence it sound like you dont like having comms on in game anyway, well there is the mute all function that quickly solves that issue so again i ask why all the redundancy when there are simply solutions for ppl like yourself that wouldnt interfere with the core communication functionality b/w players trying to play a TEAM BASED game.
