It would be great if you could make it so you can change your voice chat to go out either to your team or to everybody.  Also some sort of visual cue would be great so you could know who is speaking at the time.  Perhaps if something popped up at the top right or bottom right would work.  

Also it would be great if in the notification that comes up at the top left on who killed who there were color differences between friendly and enemy; perhaps friendly shows up in blue or green or something and enemy in red or orange something like that.  That way you can see at a glance if you're down a couple of men and perhaps retreat would be more suitable.  I like knowing when my teammate dies so perhaps I can wait for them to re-spawn and have some backup.

Can we change the color of the HUD??? I know you can change the color of the cockpit screens but how about the HUD?  Maybe you can make it so you can buy different colors for your HUD?  And perhaps you can make them mech specific?

I agree with most of this. As far as an indicator for voice chat, color differences between teams in notifications, and colors for hud in options menu.

To add to f3n1x0289's suggestions about kill notification... It would be nice to see an X when an enemy dies on the Minimap, like that, you get a better Idea of wether or not the guy got wrecked or if he just slipped out of sight... I mean logically, a teammate would notify you of either situations.

i would love to have 2 different keybinds for PTT.

One for constructive team based communication and the other to taunt my opponent.

Click me! I dare you.

I agree with this.  This would be useful to have.

As long as there is an easy to use mute option I will be happy. From my experience one of the most annoying aspects of voice chat is when a person is yelling endlessly or coughing/breathing heavyly.

As far as game wide voice chat... just no, please no. If they do, I would need a "mute opponent team" option somewhere. I want my voice chat to be dedicated to working with my team, and don't wont enemies jumping in randomly in the middle of a strategy talk.

As far as death notifications and colors along with the hud colors that sounds like a great idea.

+1.  I've already had experience with some annoying teammates on Voice Chat who think they're the God of Hawken. I don't need an opponent of the same ilk. :)   VC should be for strategy and teamwork.
