Unfortunately I had to go into the settings to activate it as the default setting is for it to be disabled.
I now send an EA friend request to anyone else I find using VOIP and have started to play more often with like-minded strategic and team/squad oriented players.
It does make a big difference to how much more fun you get out of the game.
Pretty sure that there are a lot of players taking into a microphone on console (without having changed their settings to turn it on) who are wondering why nobody reacts or responds to their speech.

I think that's one of the biggest problems. It's enabled by default on PC, but we can type... on consoles it's disabled by default and they can't hear me if I talk if they have it disabled. So it didn't solve much of a problem at all.
I've played since it was enabled with maybe 3 or 4 people that have used it, and no matter of asking or whatever gave any reply at all.
I wonder why voip is disabled by default. Seem really weird. I wonder if this is another attempt by DICE to reduce toxicity?
Like how they tried to reduce toxicity by removing the scoreboard, ability to text chat with the enemy team, and player stat tracking from Battlelog.

My guess is that this was the easiest way for them to add the required 'opt-in' (needed for privacy reasons). They cannot just turn that option on but would otherwise have had to ask the players for permission by some kind of dialog. The easier choice was to turn it off and have the users opt in manually.
The weird part is that it was enabled by default on PC. So opt-in only from console as far as I can tell.
