to all those passionately and condescendingly telling everyone to just "get with the times" and buy a headset, or to stop being a stone age computer user, or to get over it "cause text is sooo last millenium"...
- some people are deaf or mute, so they can not 'get over it'. I'm pretty sure they would if they could.
- not everyone has a super duper uber speedy internet connection, so using audio creates quite a lag and is thus impractical (this case would be me)
- if someone else (or in this case quite a lot of other people) would like something added which was initially included, and you don't... have some respect for their views and leave them be. They're not asking to force everyone to use text chat and stop anyone from using a headset - what difference does it make to you?
sorry, just had to get that out of my system!
text chat in-game is bloody difficult to use - apart from between waves. so i agree it's not critical there. but i agree with a lot of people posting here that in-lobby chat would be very very welcome!

The demo had "T"-button for text chat but it wasn't working, thought it was going to be fixed in the full game. I never actually thought that fixing something would mean removing it. >

For the love of god give me the options at yell... uhm HELP people in text...
Or say brb, good game and what not.
PS. Yes there are idiots out there that spam or trashtalk but I actually prefer they do that in text chat versus voice. They're gonna be doing that no matter what.

I'm not comfortable with using mics with a group of complete strangers; that's just me. It should be an option, not a necessity.

I'm not comfortable with strangers hearing my voice. I actually talk like Sovereign / Christian Bale's Batman in the lobby to disguise my voice.

I don't want to always talk to people with words. I'm a guy, I like cavetime grinding XP and creds with randoms. Putting on headphones and talking to them is a bit much.
Also, only need 2-3 sentences a game to handle the important things.
Like: Hold here, stop killing yourself Vanguard and the oh so important get out of my way I'm trying to one man army here.

in the demo there was an option for a hotkey for text chat
Text chat "T"
never was implemented though, probably got rushed and discarded..like quality did for multiplayer

This is a basic component that should be added for MP asap, both in lobby and in-game. That way EVERYONE has an opportunity to communicate, discuss what build their class went and plan strategies beforehand. While it will be harder to talk in-game, there are still moments where I'm in cover and have time to type. Also, having a dead player with no mic but able to type out "behind you" for you could be a godsend.

one could chat through origin.
I suppose thats the reason a chat was omitted.
1. That would be highly impractical for public games. You'd have to add everyone you play with, and there isn't even an easy interface to do that.
2. There is no group chat in Origin. Even if you're already friends with everyone playing, you're only able to talk to each person individually.

Even though I own a headset I'd still like to have this implemented due to the fact that I don't like to talk much around people I don't know. It's also difficult to hear someone talking when I'm listening to music but that's entirely my fault I guess.

I also would appreciate the ability to do text chat.
I was very ill this weekend and couldn't talk as I had a bad sore throat.
So I couldn't communicate at all with my team in the lobby or otherwise
