    I think that the possibility of in game microphone-based talk would be FRAKING awesome!
    Something like counterstrike.
    It would make it easier to communicate strategies
    As well as talk crud
    without wasting time typing things.

    Anyone have anything against this?

    IMO, there would be a ton of people who just go on games to start screaming stuff into the microphone to annoy people. If not for that I think it would be a great idea. :D

    Even if its not in-game you can always use Teamspeak or Vent to accomplish the same thing.

    You ever play Halo online with mics? I felt my IQ dropping by the syllable. I almost bought a Jeep.

    but then here is some possible bad things that can occur:

    - your not familiar with ur team mate's voice, so you don't know who's talking to you
    - someone could have a heavy accent, or cannot speak fluent English
    - if everyone talk at the same time, it gets jumbled up
    - sometime when ur playing, u might accidently swear into the microphone.......

    still overall its a good idea

    Yes i completely agree with this!
    Blizzard createtd the battle-net it might be no problem for them to add somethink like this

    Sure they might be some disadvantages but if blizzard include microphone-based talk they will be clever enough to add an mute button ;)

    Computer, I think it's a brilliant idea! Of course, you can set it so you can only hear your own team. And if it is like 2vs2 then it would be very useful indeed. I hate typing ;p

    In-game voice is a really brilliant idea, it will in no way affect the game-play in a negative way, of cause you need the mute button and hopefully a Push-To-Talk button as well. maybe a location scanner, so when you´re in-game playing you can see that your teammate is from China and you are from England, you will be able to mute really fast before you get hypnotized by several mind numbing sounds. It doesn't require much to put up a location scanner nor an in-voice communicator. Yes the Ventrilo, Teamspeak or Xfire programs can be used, but if you are selecting random games you have to be REALLY fast to give the information and log in which will delay your start, and everyone know that the start is probably the most important thing in the game.
    To say something to the guy that talked about in-game voice like in Counter-Strike, I would highly disagree with that, since the in-voice program piece in Counter-Strike is a bad example of how NOT to make a speak program, even with a great sound card and a even better microphone your sound will be crumbled too much.
    The reason for the in-game voice would be a great success is that around 80% of the world speaks English or something that might remind you of it and still be able to understand it. Anyway you got to admire the suggestion about in-game voice would be really cool.

    Yes! I am a highly admired, major, celestial dragon-fart!

    It is true what you say about chimps, they do NOT like the smell of what they hear
