I dont know about everyone else, but i think it would be cool to hear what a player near you is saying in MP. So when you get in a close combat situation you can cuss out your opponent, or hear what they are saying about you. any thoughts?

If you read the weekly updates you would know the answer to this already...

It's an interesting idea and Im curious to see how they utilize it, but I have my worries. It'd suck to have it on ALL the time because you couldnt strategize with everyone on your team without worrying that someone is listening. Granted I'd love to spook someone before I slay them, or lead them to an ambush but I'd rather not have to worry about who'se listening in, especially since MC has internal speakers so he could keep everyone from hearing him but his teammates anyways

Steve...proximity voice has been confirmed.

This means that if you're in blood gulch yelling at someone very far they won't hear you...but if you're in a small room together you'll be able to hear every word.

As for teams, there will be a seperate team only channel, so you and your teammates can strategize...Bungie hasn't really said anything about this yet but of course it's going to be there. There will probably be a button to toggle between team chat and prox voice.

We dont know for sure, but i hope there is a team channel for stratagy, but there is also proximity voices meaning if someone else on any team is talking and you are neer them you can hear them. I wonder if Proxi Voicing will be sencitive to how loud you are talking, if you wisper hopefuly only people standing next to you can hear. I hope to use a combo of stealth and proxy voicing to do some spying. imagine hiding in the shadows of an enemy base and over hearing their convos and stratagies.. sounds kewl, then you simply use a radio to relay back to teammates

No you wont have to press a button to talk to teamates. It will be like Counter Strike Xbox where you talk to your team normal and if your close enough to a enemy they can listen in.
