I thought it would be a cool feature to have.
Mainly, the voice quality is terrible. I have the volume cranked all the way up on the voice chat feature, and it's still extremely difficult to make out what people are saying. If when it is loud enough, it breaks up and is not clear.
The push-to-talk feature seems to be a little buggy. I hold down the button to talk, and I hear the noise and the little speaker icon next to my character, but occasionally, the icon disappears while I'm still holding the button. This makes me confused as to whether people can still hear me or not.
Overall, I was very disappointed with the system. Currently, as difficult as it is to hear people, I would almost prefer to not have it in the game at all.
It's sad really, because it looks like it could have been good.
