Chat blackout while spawning

[Veteran]

Is it just me, or is the fact that you can't chat while you're spawning pretty lame?

Don't tell me "you're supposed to be dead, you can't talk" because anyone on Roger Wilco, TeamSpeak, etc. can keep on talking, so why should keyboard users be punished?

One good thing, at least, is that you can still use outfit chat while spawning, but it's akward.

Should they change it? Is it a bug? Should we all just use voicechat?

I don't know, but it sure would pass the time better while I respawn.
