DICE Team
Guys.... no mics is killing the game and teamwork. How can you play as a squad without communication? No mics at launch is ridiculous. Its not a feature, its a necessity. Period. As vital to gameplay, communication, and fun as anything else. On consoles, no one types for communication. Absolutely no one, there will be no communication on console. As much as I enjoyed the beta, I was able to do so because I was under the impression that things that are in every other big budget shooter, including past BFs, would be there. Like mics. Comp rose and pings help, but they are the bottom of the communication ladder. Voice coms are imperative, to learn they will not be available until who knows when... is beyond disappointing and disheartening. As a team based shooter who coined the term PTFO or GTFO to not have mics at launch is a slap in the face, a joke. This should be at the top of the to do list, I don't care what else is there because if we can't communicate with our teammates none of the other things really matter because you can't coordinate to do anything about it anyway. It ensures people will NOT play as a team, completely counterproductive towards what you guys yourselves say is a major focus. I don't know if its just a "forest through the trees" thing but it seems like you guys are so focused you can't take a step back and clearly see the all encompassing issues. Seems like you're seeing the micro, not the macro. Mics on consoles need to be there, at least at launch if not during the early access.
