SC2 Voice Chat
I thought some people might find this interesting...

2. Will there be in game voice chat supported in SC2? (teamliquid.net)
Yes, there are plans to implement VoIP into Battle.net, but details beyond that are yet to be announced.

SC2 Q&A Batch 13

Curious to how this might change things for the mapping community. I was planning on developing an RP map for SC2 so figuring how that will work should be interesting.

It's only for raids and arena. Most people already use vent anyways.

Exactly, just about every serious DotA player on the planet uses Vent to coordinate, and voice chat is a MUST for MMO's, so this is just standard. You can talk faster than you can type, and you can talk without having to type or distract yourself, so it definetly has it's benefits.

It is better than using vent since it threads into the game its self and so loads your computer less (less application management) and also the data packets could be sent with the actuall game ones so it would be overall more efficent. Also maybe there would be triggers for this (voice recognition / pitch) that might have some interesting results. Also it will stop people kicking you because you do not have vent or crap (you might not be able to talk but sure as hell you will be able to hear them).

Meh, Vent usually turns out to be better anyway. Look at CS, it has built in voice chat but to get anything serious done people always use Vent.
Vent just works better. It helps to have an entire program designed around voIP, not just having it thrown in as an extra feature.

Hopefully you will be able to turn this off, not like in CS where you are forced to hear peoples annoying talking.

I hope it's not like Xbox Live Chat either where everyone is some kid who hasn't hit puberty yet and still has a high pitched squeal of a voice.
