Voip was always a good thing for pugs, sure you got the bad eggs but when you get in a chopper speaking with your gunners is almost a must, also you don't have to stop and type to tell your squad mates to look out behind them, It didn't have to be great friends ships or deep conversations just enough to get a few words in and make your team better with out having to look up every servers Ts or vent info. Also squad based voip over ts or vent means im not listening to you talk about how sweet you are putting c4 on my tank when we are not on the same team.
The PS3 version just got that patched in right? Pretty sure I read that somewhere. Wonder if they were actually going to patch it in for PC since they decided to do that for that platform.
