at this moment there are 200.000 players playing battlefield 1 [http://bf1stats.com/](http://http://bf1stats.com/), guess how muchare playing on a console? 160.000, thats 3/4 on total population of the game and thats 3/4 of player base without access to a formal way to communicate in a game that demands teamplay and coordination. most battlefield players are playing on console, these numbers are not for today, its been like this since the launch and you leave us behind cazualizing our platform without tools to communicate… this is an official petition to support your major playerbase, listen to your fans and give us what we need to play your game! #CHATBOX FOR CONSOLES NOW! ---

What makes you think players will actually look at the chat box? The last thing I want to do is read idiots arguing/fighting in chat. If they do add a chat box I hope you can disable it like the kill log. ---

Anyways read my last sentence… Meaning I figured it would be optional if implemented. I wouldn’t be surprised if a lot of players did the same. ---

It doesn’t allow for custom messages though. If you use the commo rose you can select a pre set message to send to the team or your squad. If you’re not seeing it then you have already disabled it or you just happened to never be on a team that has used it, my guess is the former.
