I’ve played battlefield on xbox since Christmas, and I have not seen a single person talk through a mic (besides when I played with a couple friends in a party chat mode). It’s been 7 months and no one speaks in game chat? ---

It’s odd. In Battlefield nobody uses a mic at all. I assume they are all in party chat. That’s what everyone does nowadays… ---

It pisses me off. Games, especially ones like bf are so much better when using communication. I wish game companies would start allowing you to filter games by those who want to use mice and those who don’t. ---

Yes! Just more fun to talk to people during games, compared to sitting in silence ---

It’s the same on PC. I talk regardless and sometimes someone starts talking back. Sometimes they leave the squad or mute me I guess. ---

Actually I just figured out how to turn on VoIP a couple weeks ago cuz I never thought you actually had to turn it on to talk to people. Anyways even with it on, I talk and no one responds ---

I’ve been playing since Christmas as well, and when not playing with my friends, I talk to my squad mates in game chat. I usually have a least one with a mic. Not sure why you’ve never heard a single person in game chat before. That’s odd.
