[We really need voice chat]

I'd prefer just better chat. I was always the kind of player that muted voice chat in every game. Renegade never needed voice chat to get people to work together and I hate having strangers spout their non-sense over mic (which is NEVER limited to game strategies, they always go on about stuff and try to be chatty and annoying and everything).

Listen to the man, cause he tells the truth.

It was enough to send a chat message "STANK RUSH, meet at hand" and sudden organization appeared. Although in airstrike era it will require some distraction or good attack synchro to make it work.

unless they look away from the screen for 4 seconds and missed the message

There is absolutely no organization, there is no way to check whats been said in the chat, once its off the screen its gone. Voice chat will help a team work like a team. Even if there are spammers just add a mute button.
