About adding the voice chat in-game, honestly?
While I get why some of you want it, and I fully agree that voicing is an important aspect...
...in the end, if they add it into the base game, it will not make much difference regarding the quality of the matches you'll find on open public servers.
The quality of matches in any MP game while in a public open servers has always been fairly trashy since the beginning of time, even in games where voice chat is standard. Truth is, you'd likely find that voice chat more filled with snot nosed & rude trash talk than you would find mature, focused cohesion.
It's just the mentality these days... people who join open servers/match making without first partying up do so much of the time because they just feel like having the freedom to do whatever they want instead of acting as part of a team and having to do things a certain way...so to really get the type of matches you're talking about I think you'll find in the end that you will still need to hook up on voice with other like minded players first, and then party-up, before you would even reach the in-game voice chat feature (if it ever exists, which is unlikely I think).
So, IMO...while it sounds on paper like a good idea, in reality it probably isn't...at least in this case.
@BigShottt I play on XB1 with a friend who is on PS4 and party up all the time but because there's no voice chat the fun of running together on BF 2042 has been totally lost.
If you're in a group of blueberries there was always the mute button on previous BF's.
I do have an Xbox series x but hear that PC players are decimating the console players so much so that people are switching off cross play.
It's come to the point that we are now going back to playing Cold War to actually enjoy cross platform cross play.
