I can speak from experience, from tribes 2 and a few other games of that ilk, that having a group with you that is using a 3rd party voiceapp is INFURIATING, because that group will give no info to those not equipped with whatever app they are using.
Lets say that, by fluke, NONE of your outfit members are online. So you join a 'pick-up' squad and, lo and behold, they are using a voiceapp different than the one you use. You go with them over land, get to a base, go up to the door, hack it, go inside WHAM you die from a friendly tank/reaver shell. Little did you know that your tank/reaver support was gonna shell the door as soon as it was opened - the gunner informed everyone ELSE in the squad, but you couldn't hear and no-one could be bothered to inform you. This sort of incident happens again, and again, and again, and no-one informs you of anything, EVER. Even if it's as simple as tapping VWC (Or whatever) to say "Cloaked enemy detected!" they don't do it. It's like playing on NO squad, except they dont use broadcast/local chat, either.
*sigh*
I hope they make the ingame voice completely flawless and configurable so that everyone with a mic will use it.
