The in-game map and communication wheel are sufficient, but some people use mics. Have you tried making friends?

Dont have the game. Wondering if it's worth getting cause none of my friends have it.

Ive had one match where a couple people used mics and was a benefit all the other times its hot mic console users that I need to mute

I don't use a mic with randoms. The ping system is good enough for what I need to understand and express.

Like most games that have voice it largely depends on who you play with.

If you play with people who use English as their first language like from the US, Canada, Brits etc then yeah a lot of them seem to use voice.

If you play with people from more around Europe then no, we are shy and most of us do not get much if any daily "practice" talking English so even though I can kinda say that most of us knows English very well that just makes it worse because we know how things are supposed to be pronounced but our languages do not pronounce things the same way which makes it sound weird when we talk without first getting used to the switch.

...So most wont use voice and stick to chat or in-game commands.



If you play with the console nerds you get to hear what their entire family is doing and whats on the TV though because none of them seem to bother to turn the voice to push-to-talk!

I use mic: push to talk as I don't want people hearing every sound I make; cough and achoo.

Call outs for double doors and the like.

They use mics all the time. I can hear them heavy breathing, their keyboards clacking and their sighs of frustration while I'm trying in vain to tell them to stop fighting and dying out in the open.

Just kick them. No better yet, wait till shuttle comes then kick.

My experience with people with mics in this game is a lot of people in this community need to lose weight, many of you guys breathe way too heavily, it's concerning.

Plenty of people do. Sometimes you have to be the first one to speak.
The game also has a pretty good pinging and callout system built in

[Ludewich]

Yes, I used the mic (push-to-talk). And lots of others do it as well. In fact, sometimes you get to know people just by sharing three missions (= one operation) in one row.

But you do not need to use a mic - the ingame ping system is quite good . If you do not use a mic, you have to pay attention to what the team does (i.e. open the map from time to time).

IMHO, the game is a top-tier PvE coop tactical shooter, can wholeheartedly recommend it.

PS
I am from europe and I often realize that my spoken english skills could use some improvement. But people seem to accept it.

No

Sorry about that, it's just that armor you were wearing looked really good.
