For the most part, I'll let my video speak for itself, but I just want to point out that this is just an opinion and should be treated as such. Still, I believe it is something important that's worth mentioning. Hope you guys like it, and if you agree or disagree, feel free to let me know.

In game voice is expected by every single new player and they have no way of knowing it is broken.

Even when voice chat was around, nobody used it.

 

Fix incin/zerk/sustain balance first

Disagree.  Early open, I used it and heard it used a decent amount.

I would agree it's a nice thing to have but if I had to pick "The ONE thing that must be fixed" voice chat would be quite a bit down the list.

i feel that voice chat is important, but its only critical to things like siege and MA, in tdm, it certainly helps, but its not critical to the mode like it is in siege and ma.

There is a compass on radar, just not that visible tho

agree with missile. 80% what i hear in game, only inadequate people and trolls. even if some players trying to command, they skill equal zero, and they don't understand what they do. with all of this i'm just turn of voice sound in game options.

Early OB it worked and was used often. Not that people had great strategies, but it was used to coordinate Siege EU deliveries and worked to a degree.

It's a nice feature but it's honestly not needed in non objective based matches.

let me clarify, in tdm, teamwork op in that if a team sticks together more, they will likely win, least in pubs, where in siege and MA, that is not nearly the case, much more strategy is needed, not even counting trying to help those new to the mode.

how about be able to put your music inside the mech

 

[XPloyt]

I disagree. It's important for player retention, but not for team play.

 

It's always more interesting to have people talking on mics even when using in game functions that work quite well, such as "assistance needed" and "enemy targeted", but at the end of the day, if you don't know what you're doing, nothing will change that besides playing the game and having others lead by example. If a teammate feels like you're helping them out, they'll most likely show signs of synergy and coordination, willing to give back.

I agree with the video,  Voice Chat is ESSENTIAL!   TeamSpeak made such a difference,  and when you look at a game like destiny, which to ME,  is quite sub-par and juvenille to Hawken, one of the great draws is community, and voice chat.  It has that much weight.  And in a game as fast paced as this,   to have to TEXT or MESSAGE a warning..    "L...O....O....K...O...U....T....     B.....E....H....I....N....D....      W.....A.....L.....L...  "    

 

You see my point.  it messes with the flow.    Build on Hawken's strength.   It's Teamwork.   

 

Bring back Voice Chat.

It would help stop me walking into the other team. Seriously.

Often I see a teammate in a fight, looks even, so I go to help.

Teammate dies, I and i'm like " I WILL AVENGE YOU! "

Before I round the corner to find the whole other team has wandered quietly off radar to assemble my deathsquad, it would be helpful to get a quick voicechat advising me just how bad an idea that would end up.
