I was just another feature that DICE didn't need to add which made them take time away from actual giving us more content quicker. Most of the people that were crying for VOIP aren't even playing the game.
Dude, I love your comments. Straight to the point. I wish they would stop kowtowing to the whiners that spend more time crying online than they do actually even playing the game. The people that sit online all day and cry are NOT the actual people playing the game.
I play in Europe and VOIP has never been used in any BF-game I have played.
In Europe we speak many different languages and using VOIP makes no sense, at least not when playing with randoms.
Who ever asked for it is a mystery to me, what region of the world (besides perhaps the US), have players that all speak the same language?
@DuaneDibbleyIn Europe a lot of people are not that good at speaking English, perhaps the younger generations are better, but in some countries, English is not really used much.
Many European countries translate films/tv-shows to their own language (using voice-actors) and you do not have much "contact" with other languages than your own, unless you use the internet (and uses the english/american part of the internet).
Asking for proximity/context chat is moving the goalposts - Battlefield has never done it, and I can only recall seeing it mentioned one or two times in the period leading up to the April patch.
If no one asks for it, why would DICE develop it.
