How can a father who is concerned about what his kids hear, play and fly with him when you have foul mouth players all over the voice channel?

Just an simple option to turn off the range channel.

If there is one I don't know about someone please tell me.

I been asking for this for some time. The mute of the text is one thing. One has to be LOOKING at the scree to be offended by that. With the vox and range channel you have NO option and anyone within the room area is "treated" to the juvinile language. This is a LONG overdue fix. HT PLEASE give us a mute for range vox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can't you just turn the volume right down in the setup page?

Some of us do use the vox for squad and other activities, but that would be too simple to understand I suppose. :rolleyes:

Gypsy, some of us fathers don't care to be inflicted with this childish display of foul language either. There is no reason why we should be inflicted with the immaturity of some player because he has access to a microphone in the game. If you need to spew foul language go somewhere else.

Easy Solution Change Range Channel To Mission Channel, Or Pick A Text Channel.

I Do It All The Time If I Had To Listen To Range Voices And Squad Voices All The Time I Would Go Insane.

I agree with the request, but it is sad because it will make the VOX useless outside of squad ops.  This really defeats the purpose of voice communication.  It is even more irritating that a minority of foul mouths force the issue.

Ah well, can't count on people's self control so technical and controling systems must be used instead.:(
