Voice-activated direct chat

So, I kind of like the disable chats - encourage dc-voip policy but I doubt I'm the only one feeling that 3rd party voips ruin it a bit. Granted, I'm not all too keen to start yelling to random survivors with my rally english, especially since I mainly play with a friend anyway and random peeps are more threat than potential. Still, I feel it'd greatly add to the atmosphere if we (we use battlelog for voip, great audio btw) had to take our external voip use into account as well, knowing it can be heard by other players and maybe zombies near us.

It wouldn't completely erase the problem, as one can use another computer or such like for voip and disable mic on gaming one but I doubt most would arse (I wouldn't).

Thoughts?

(also sorry if such suggestion existed already, quick search returned no results)

Very, very easy to overcome with many methods that only require some setting changes. Hell, I don't even think it's possible to introduce in the first place.

Love it. Definitely think that the side chat gives players the thrill of interacting with humans without the in game need to actually meet up. This helps the lone wolfs feel like they aren't alone while they exploit the game world safely without any risk.

If a lone wolf saw no chat and heard no human voice they would get lonely infinitely quicker.
