This is not necessarily a bad thing. If winning takes brute force then players should bring in their best brute force. If winning takes strategy then players should bring with them their best strategy. Brute force is itself a strategy.
I agree with you that voice chat should be an optional feature but the lack of it certainly does not render the game unplayable. It's certainly playable and good players should be able to implement strategy by being familiar with the game, going off of what other players are doing, what weapons have been chosen, what equipment they're carrying, etc.
I can play Gears of War 2 just fine without having to speak to the other players because we're all quite familiar with what it takes to win.
