Team Speak and Skype Chatting

Team Speak and Skype

Just a random idea here that would make players more careful when speaking on those programs. Force the Direct communication chat as always on so that if a player is chatting with friends on skype he can be heard in game when near other players giving away his position like you would in real life. The only problem I see with this is that there would be echoes. But I wonder if it would be cool or not or if the echo can be fixed somehow.

What I want to accomplish from this is to make players be more careful when speaking. In real life you cant just safely chatter away on a radio without being heard and avoiding all the eavesdropping. People can hear you speaking and might get in on your plans or whatever.

Any thoughts?

The principle is sound, but I can't resolve a few issues with it in my head:

Some people listen to music or have other ambient sound while they play.

Could cause echo-feedback if two players near each other aren't using headphones

A clever player on Skype/Vent could reduce the voice transmit volume in Arma 2 or try to circumvent it by some other means.

I'd really like to see a solution to enforce "fair" gameplay regardless of Skype/Vent, though.
