Thoughts on Proximity Chat Coming to Battlefield. Potential Game Changer?

Battlefield 6

I’m actually pretty hyped for proximity chat.

Half the time I get put in squads where nobody has a mic, so being able to talk to nearby teammates (even outside your squad) sounds like a big win. Feels like it could make coordination way more natural instead of relying on silent squads or pings.

I’m mainly curious how it’ll play out in practice:

  • Do you think it’ll actually help teamwork, or just be chaos?
  • Should it be team-only, or include enemies too?
  • How far should the range be?

I feel like if they get it right, it could bring back a lot of those organic Battlefield moments and make matches feel more alive.

What do you all think?
