Built in voice chat

[Bahn]

The reason why I hate using voice chat is because it's just annoying.

It's annoying to wear a headset. I prefer to play with open air speakers and a desktop microphone, but I understand that's not optimal for voice chat because the mic picks up what the speakers say. I have NEVER found a wired headset I feel comfortable wearing simply because of the funky slack the headset has to take to connect to my PC.

However, for PS3 users, the option to use it should be available. Emphasis on option.

There are tons of people even in games that have built-in VOIP that don't use it. For pickup groups and small scale stuff, it's really not something that's ever required or expected from people (if anything, just listening). End-game groups will require this and probably rely on it, but it's already happening now, so it doesn't really matter.

There are also (expensive) microphones that you can buy that cancel speaker and background noise. If I wasn't living in an apartment, I would be getting a kick ass speaker system and microphone instead of a headset.
