The no voice chat option has been making Aliens: Fireteam Elite very upset. Unlike this video game, the voice chat option is available in most video games in 2021. Intense discussions regarding this inconvenience are a common occurrence on online platforms like Steam. Is there another way players could communicate during gameplay? Read on to know more.
What is Aliens: Fireteam Elite?
Firstly, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is the latest name added to the PvP game category. Secondly, the video game was recently released on 24th August 2021. It is a third-person multiplayer game. The game is a by-product of the Alien trilogy. It is also the first game of this theme since Alien: Blackout.
This survival shooter game is set in the Alien world and pits players and their hardened soldiers against the ever-growing Xenomorph menace. Marines will go through four separate campaigns. This brings a fresh narrative to the alien universe. Players must battle against waves of deadly Xenomorph and Weyland-Yutani Synthetic enemies with other players. Players will get to create and customize their own Colonial Marines. At the same time, players also get to choose from a wide range of classes, armor, and other weapons.
Why are fans upset
After hearing about the then-upcoming video game, players had a lot of expectations. However, it all went downhill when players could not find the voice chat feature. Popular games like PUBG, Free Fire, Call of Duty, and many others have the much-needed voice chat option. So, for a new multiplayer shooting game to not have a voice chat option can be disappointing for players.
Players decided it was time to discuss this matter with other players. One such fan commented on a Reddit post that read;
Another fan and player shared their opinion on this matter on Twitter. The tweet said;
Gonna play some Alien: Fireteam Elite and report later in how cool my medic gets. The sound design of the game is wonderful, the UI is easy to navigate and the controls feel good. But no chat or voice chat for now? We'll find out

Meanwhile, there are also fans are who are “ok” with the game not having a no chat feature. This is what the player had to say;
Aliens: Fireteam Elite is pretty good.
Take Gears, Left for Dead and Alien and smash them together.
