I rented this game and have been playing for 2 days now and have yet to be in a game with a single person that has a mic. In a team oriented game such as this it makes it almost impossible to communicate anything to anyone.

Im always mic'ed up buddy. Add MD45 to your friends list if you are on PSN.

yea i agree its hard to play a team based game when people are not using mics.

play a game mode with public VIOP or you cant hear people unless you join or create a fireteam

If you look, in standard game play, VOIP is turned off, which means there is no voice chat. (Look it up in the games booklet, Page 21 it describes standard mode. For VOIP description go to Freeplay--->Private Game--->Match Settings--->Hover over Public VOIP.) Forming a fire team is suppost to create a private voice channel, but so far no one seems to have a mic or it doesn't work.(For fire team Info refer to page 21 Under the stopwatch category.) I've seen a pattern with the game modes. If friendly fire is on, VOIP is on. I don't play anything but standard, but i know for sure that in standard that people play with mics but you don't see, or at least hear them. I've played a game where i was invited into a party by people in my lobby with mics.

Remember kids, Mr. T says 'I pity the fool who doesn't use a mic!'
