Anyone Else Want Guild/Fireteam/Area Chat?
I'm sure Bungie knows what they're doing - I just haven't seen much community discussion about the option for different chat channels. I for one would love the ability to switch between an open "Guild/Clan" channel, a direct 'fireteam/group' channel - and the 'local area' channel (for public events/PvP etc).
After looking at the [url=http://i.imgur.com/rKqaeOE.jpg]controller scheme[/url] for a while, this idea dawned on me.
The way it'd work, is instead of having your 'emotes' on all buttons of the D-Pad, they were moved to a single button (say left) which brings up a mini-menu of the available emotes (selected as they are in the linked controller scheme).
[i](More detail: "Left" brings up menu, which displays all available emotes relative to their D-Pad button; akin to how to the controller scheme shows them currently)[/i]
That enables the D-Pad to be used for a number (3, to be exact) of other functions (I wonder how the Ghost was 'called' - and also how the weapon was lowered/raised)
"Down" could be weapon lowering/raising; "Up" could call the Ghost - and "Right" could switch between the different "Chat Channels".
I'm not sure if you, dear reader, have used TeamSpeak/Vent/Mumble etc in a guild before - but it's often a great place full of people bantering away, organizing raids/PvP, or just chatting about their favorite TV show (Firefly FTW)
I know Bungie will [url=http://youtu.be/ryhU1Oe1lv4?t=5m15s]look after us[/url], but just figured I'd share my thoughts with anyone interesting in reading them
[i]Quick clarifications:[/i]
- By "area" chat, I mean 'public event/team' etc
- My entire idea focuses around using [i]voice[/i] chat, [u]not[/u] text/typing

Excelent idea and great construtive discussion. I'm certain that Bungie will definitly take all the comunity feeds-back and sugestions in consideration. In addiction, as stated here already, the potencial of the new consoles goes much further than simply better graphics and frame rate. I know that microsoft made some huge political mistakes, that fortunatly were recognised by them, but the potencial of the new kinect (first version is terrible) in terms of gameplay can be imense. Not as a controller substitute, but as an addition. Lots of comands can be added by the kinect, as it can with the touch pad in the PS4 controller. Let's see how all will evolve, with the certanty that if there is a company that can pull off all this great ideas, is Bungie!
