People don't use voice chat to strategize, they use it to talk crap to each other.

Not in the competitive scene, which is what OP is talking about its potential. Say what you want, you cannot dismiss missing a feature like voice char over "hurt feelings" on an multiplayer focused game.

There's plenty of other ways to communicate with each other in the competitive scene.

Anyway, a sequel can always improve on the first game's shortcomings. Why do people not think further than just the first game?
