In retrospect, I get the feeling BW is actually considering implementing text chat. See, ME3 uses Unreal Engine 3, which by default has a button bound for text chat (T). I'm not sure if it's still there, but when I checked the controls shortly after getting ME3, it was even listed under keybinds; it did nothing though. Recently I was changing some keybinds and tried to use T for something else, and got an error message saying I couldn't use that key because it was unchangeably bound to a different function. It still does nothing as far as I know; maybe they'll implement text chat with a patch at some point?Zaidra wrote...

Right, because this sort of thing has never been implemented in any PC shooter before today... Yes, typing is often slower than talking, but not communicating at all is far worse.Zaidra wrote...

One word : Chat.
It'd make it easier for people who have a bad mic or can't speak english.
.... you realize that would mean people would be stopping to type every two minutes, right? That would be retarded.
in most cases, I would agree, but not in me3. This is a game where you have to survive waves of enemies. If somebody stops to chat, they could die and easily lose the game for everyone.
I seriously hope not. If they do, it'll ruin the game for a lot of players (Specifically gold players, but probably silver and bronze, too) because we'd have a bunch of noobs stopping to chat every two seconds, causing their deaths and unbalancing the odds. Might cause match losses, and if they add it in, I guarentee you the majority of fans will be pissed at Bioware. I think Bioware already know this, though, so I doubt they will add them.
We already have a perfectly serviceable means of communication during the game. Chat would serve no purpose other than a distraction from the game. Just because half the people out there choose not to turn on their mics does not mean that others can not communicate with a single push of a button rather than, typing long chats. The only time that chat would be useful is locating games, or during the pre-game cycle. Let's not forget that may of these players are on XBox which does not have any form of keyboard. Can you imagine them trying to cycle through the Alphabet with a controller while still playing the game. Chat = Really, really bad idea.
Textbased chat in ME3 MP on Xbox 360 is simply not going to happen.
