... is how I see QW:ET. I've been playing for about two weeks (?) now and only just beginning to get the hang of things. The strategy is quite deep but teamwork is so hard to come by. Hopefully that will change later today.
They are implementing a VOIP fire team chat channel. This will basically allow fireteams to communicate with each member without having to resort to TeamSpeak or Ventrilo. I'm hoping that it will foster more teamwork and a willingness to actually join a fireteam in the first place. I have yet to be invited to a fireteam or have someone accept my invitiation to join mine.
I remember when BF2142 was released and the integrated voice chat was really quite good. People started using it, tentatively at first, but later with much enthusiasm. You still had problems with people, mostly pre-pubescent boys of 13 or 14, swearing like sailors into their mics but for the most part it the problems weren't as widespread as, say, xbox live. I've vowed to never plug my headset into my xbox after seeing and hearing some of the r-tards (LOL I used r-tard in a sentance) screeching into their mics. Uh uh. Not gonna do it.
Anyways, I'm interested in seeing what happens tonight with the new VOIP solution in place. Will people embrace it or will it just become another useless feature tacked onto a very good game after release?
