Suggestion – Option to Prioritize Squad Members Who Use VOIP

Description / Idea:  
Currently, Battlefield features in-game VOIP for squads, but based on my experience, only about 5% of players utilize it. This limitation makes teamwork more challenging and diminishes coordination potential. I propose adding a setting that allows players to opt into a "VOIP Priority Squad" mode.  

When activated, the matchmaking system would aim to group players with others who also have this setting enabled. This would facilitate communication among those who wish to engage verbally without mandating VOIP for players who prefer not to use it.  

Possible Improvements to the Idea:  

1. VOIP Activity Detection – Instead of merely checking if VOIP is enabled, the system could monitor recent microphone activity to prioritize players who are actively speaking.  

2. Squad Finder Preview – Display a small VOIP icon next to player names in the squad list, allowing instant visibility of who has an active microphone.  

3. Communication Bonus – Provide a small XP or teamwork bonus for squads where all members have VOIP enabled and active. This could be termed a “Coordinated Squad Bonus” to encourage more players to use VOIP.  

4. VOIP + Role Matchmaking – Integrate VOIP priority with balanced role matchmaking, ensuring that VOIP squads maintain a good class distribution (e.g., support, recon, assault).  

5. Temporary Public Channels – For VOIP-priority squads, enable quick temporary voice connections to nearby friendly squads that are also VOIP-priority enabled, enhancing larger team coordination.  

Why This Would Help:  

It promotes teamwork and enhances communication.  

It enriches the experience for players who enjoy coordinated gameplay.  

It keeps the feature optional for those who prefer not to use VOIP.
