xbox360 VOIP update

[WhiskeySix]

For the console version (xbox360), it's not PTT - just open mic between squad members. This makes sense given the limited # of buttons on the controller. I wonder if PTT will be available for PC?

Regarding other advanced VOIP features - it doesn't look like it will be in the initial release.. at least not for the 360

We want to have more options like squad leader to squad leader and proximity chat. We are looking into that for a title update.

Anyway - it's good to know they're looking at those features - unlike EA/DICE.
