PC patch progress. Fix for mic always on, added push to talk, stability improvements, added 8v8 mixed mode, add vanquish confirmed mode.
Here is a work around until then:
- (it will completely disable Voice chats but you can still use other programs like TeamSpeak, Vent, etc... game sounds are unaffected)
- (there is also software to Push-to-Talk listed if you still want to use voice chat in game)

- Right click speaker icon in system tray.
- Select Playback Devices.
- Select a Playback Device other than what you use for sound output.
- Right click it and select Set as Default Communications Device.
- Hit OK.
- Left click on the speaker icon in the system tray.
- Click the icon below the slider on the device you chose to mute it.
Do the same for Recording devices so people don't hear you in game.

To join other people's games use Origin In Game. Open friends list and right click Join Game. Opening up a chat window will also display a "Join Game" button.
I seen a twitter msg talking about Party Joins. They said they are looking into it but Origin doesn't have a feature like that already.. so they are looking into other routes to take. I'd leave that as a maybe, don't bank on it. Hope they can though.
I haven't had to many problems joining games with my friends and wife though. If you had a large group I can see it being more difficult for sure.
