Most of them don't even turn voice on, so you're still not going to be talking to them even with prox chat. Competent players will be competent, and will switch their voice to a channel that's most useful to them. Whether that be squad or team depends on the individual's goals and who they're running with.

Same reason they let bad players onto a golf course. No matter how stupid you might think someone is, if they pay their ISP, they have the same right to be here that you do. Freedom of speech and all that other good stuff. |

If the devs could make one - and only one - change to how the voice chat system works, the biggest way to make noobs better at using voice WOULDN'T be the addition of prox chat.
It would be changing the default voice setting to ON instead of OFF.
Not only is this going to offer a sgnificantly better improvement to team comms, it's also easier to implement than prox chat. This is an actually important change, instead of merely something that might be kind of nice. |

I still say that turning voice on by default is much, MUCH more important than prox chat.
And that prox chat doesn't have enough benefits to balance out the additional lag it would cause, and the illogical fact that enemies will be able to hear your encrypted voice transmissions while your acual voice is sealed inside an armoured suit.
If you had the option of an "open channel" broadcast where anyone in range could hear, that might be cool, but it should be something you trigger manually, not an automated system. You should be required to hold a button down to transmit.
Also, because they've already got enough functions to fill up the PS3 controller, we'd either need a rewrite of the control scheme or custom controls that let you drop functions you don't use off the controller (like push to talk). |

1. Realism argument against prox chat makes sense, because if you're using an advanced genetically engineered cloned super-soldier, he's going to have an appropriately enhanced sense of hearing, which means the Dropsuits that are designed to take advantage of those enhanced abilities will logically have some way to provide audio feedback for the wearer without exposing the user's voice to any unauthorised recipients outside the suit.
2. As with others, I'm not totally against the idea of prox chat, but I don't think it should just happen automatically. You should be able to make an open broadcast to anyone nearby, basically a push-to-prox-chat.
3. While this is a cool and fun feature, it's not IMPORTANT in any sense. And when we're already seeing enough lag that many people are complaining, optimising netcode comes a LONG way before adding features that make it harder to keep smooth gameplay. |

When you have a response to someone providing logical arguments against prox chat, let me know. |

Did you actualy read any of this thread you moron. When you have anything intelligent to say, let me know.
Apparently I've been following it better than you, and unlike you, I haven't failed so hard at making a point that I need to resort to cheap insults.
You're only responding to people who aren't making valid arguments, and ignoring the points which actually make sense. Just like all the other people saying we "need" prox chat have done. |
