After listening to socast 12 I thought of this cover will obviously only pop up when u are near it I don't see you being in the middle of the alley in say xrds and seeing someone hit o and go zooming 10-20ft to cover so that means that half the time that button is free.
Couldn't it be as simple as o being push to talk as in s1/2 where it was tap to bring up chat options (taunt /message/Channel) and hold was for mic I mean couldn't o be tap for cover hold for mic as before.
I was sitting here listening and honestly shocked Boone brought that up.
It would make sense and it doesn't waste another button.

PTT better, better, better be in Socom 4. Played COD today and about went Ape Shit with all the little kids and idiots on there with zero care in the world for other gamers. If it is open Mic I will be one of those guys who has his mic plugged in but won't be on it.

MAG was supposed to be PTT and said so on the official PS thread but open mics it was when the beta came out. Who knows what plans they have for S4, Months of waiting and still no news:(

It looks like we are definitely going to have open mic. After hearing the button layout, there's no way the D pad is going to be used to push talk. Things could change, but fuck you Zipper, FUCK YOU.

It seems like it will be open mic cause zipper didnt say anythign about a talk button when they went over the controller layout but im hoping its push to talk cause open mic really is a mess and im not looking forward to fun into those idiots who are going to be ignorant on the mic

I hope its a PTT open mic hybrid. You still have to push a button but mic channel is open so many people can hit the button and all talk at one. This would get rid of all the mic hogs out there.

I will be pretty upset if PTT doesn't make the cut.

I actually don't care if they have an open mic system. Just give me a simple option to automatically mute anyone that is not on my friends list. Problem solved. =]

Yeh, they need that, but socom has always been a push to talk mic system. When you put an open mic, If you want to hear someone even if your other players aren't talking or being annoying, there is always going to be someone breathing heavy, have static comming from there end, or random noises.
Push to talk has alway been nice because you can see who is talking, whereas open mic 5 names come up on the screen at once and you don't know who is saying what.

Here is a potential set up for a push to talk button. I think on halo you bush the mic button to talk to your squad and when you are finished talking the channel auto detects it and shuts it off. So for example you would tap d-pad down then speak to your team and then when you are done it will auto shut off. I hope that is what zipper is planning based on the controller layout.

PTT is a MUST we need to stress the importance of this feature being included on the socom forums.

I would be a huge fan of this method.. a quick tap and auto shut after a set amount of "silent time".

If there is open mic, most games that have open mics they need a Fing in game mute option

If so, the muting must be fluent like COD.

I prefer open mic. It's a waste of a button, just as long as you can block noisy twits it isn't a problem.
