For realism purposes. Yes, or no?

People will circumvent any type of mechanic for this, but who the hell cares, the honest players won't.

[SmashT 10907]

No, impossible to enforce and I don't really want to hear background noises of anyone I am with.

[AzVirus 25]

I choose no, if we all lived in a vacuum, maybe.

But if my wife, kid or doorbell gave me away that would not be the "realism" you're after.

Back ground noise.

I really don't wanna hear those all those 'tweens flapping their gums.

As has already been explained, most headsets/mics have a "mute" button allowing easy defeat of such. If not, a quick keyboard macro would accomplish it. You can't "force" it on as a result.

Secondly, I would probably die much more often from laughter of hearing these survivors/bandits spew audio like dogs barking, moms saying "Jimmy, got off the computer and do your homework!" and other such hilarity.

So, no.

Apparently no one understands the concept of push to talk.

"But it's too hard!!!!! waaaaaaa"

Easily the worst idea I have seen in over 4 months on these forums...

Because everyone is either not going to play with a mic, or they'll mute it.
