That's a really poor explanation. As if other online competitive games don't rely on familiarizing players with maps, weapons and tactics. That's the whole purpose of games like this, his reasoning for leaving out voice chat is also hogwash and I hope that no one thinks otherwise.
No, this only strengthens my initial concern and protest over this decision; that's some fairly ridiculous rationalization right there imo.

But u don't need voice chat for a quick 3 minute match. If the matches were longer I'd agree, but I personally haven't felt the need for voice chat after playing for more than 30 hours online already.
