Prox chat is retarded, but i won't say no to it as an option for others. I don't wanna hear (probably more then 1/2 the time) some fking gansta little kid talking all sorts of crap nor somebodies loud music or other annoying noises while i explore or whatever im doing. The best would be to have an actual chat and people can totally afford a $10 crap keyboard, its just better all around over prox chat. You don't wanna see the chat window which would barely take space?, just turn it off. It seemed that nobody was using voice chat in strikes during alpha, i didn't hear anyone, i doubt anyone is gonna wear it while running around. Well, neither system will probably ever be put in place which, i dunno what to really say about that when communication should be important in online co-op games(don't compare using a keyboard to a controller for sending messages).
