Voice chat for this game? How will it work?

How will voice chat work for this game? Will it be like Battlefront II where you can only speak if you are in a full party or it will be push to talk and open mic like Warzone for instance when you are with random people or your party?

Thank you for answering my question kindly please!

  • @Player55 We haven't been told this so far so all we can do at the moment is guess what form it will take. For what it's worth I'm reckon it'll be the same as the last games.
  • We need the option to set "voice volume" high or low for different person on the same squad specially if "Crossplay" is a thing now for proper communication.

  • @Player55 I presume it will be the same as the past 3 battlefields, a voice chat within your squad which you can see who speaking bottom left next to the minimap, then there is a text chat that you can change from the squad, team, and 'all voice chat will be squad no matter how many people in your sqaud' - 2nd part of the question :>

    hope that answers your question and have a good day!

    I hated the SWBF2 implementation of voice chat, where you had no way to really disable it. Back in the days you could change the settings via the Origin client, but that one no longer supports voice chat, so that option is gone.

    For myself I'd like to be able to enable or disable voip, and choose between push-to-talk and open mic.

    So question now is, who do I want to speak to, or hear from.
    Selective controls might only work on small groups like squads.

    Proximity voice would be a cool feature, but when I imagine open mics, and the usual unwanted conversations you may listen in, I don't see that happening.

    Squad leader channel would be a nice addition, though.
    And of course cross platform voip.
  • @Player55 They just need to do proper proximity chat IMO. But have options for squad-only chat, team chat would turn into a * show fast. I harken back to the days of CoD MW/2 and my balls get cold fast. Kids these days wouldn't be able to handle it.
