Chat box can be turned off.
The lack of the chat box was one of the reasons I moved from PS3 in BF3 to PC in BF4.
The chat box is a last ditch effort for those of us that like to communicate a bit to coordinate the next move, etc. Sorry to annoy the rest of you that are too good for voip AND chat and just like to lone wolf it, leaving your squad mate that likes to play the objectives out in the wind because he can't change squads. 😉
They left voip out for so long everyone just got used to lone wolfing. And when it's actually turned on, it's just trash talk, nothing productive. I think a lot of people are just annoyed with all the bugs so why even get that involved with a broken game.
