Any Xbox Live account comes with a microphone headset, that much you probably know, and a couple games are starting to use it. There's a SWAT game I read about where you can yell at guys, for example. "Put down those Goddamn muffins!" or something to that effect. In R6, you can use it to give almost any command to your squad - Move, Secure Hostage, even up to the Mack Daddy of all voice commands, "Open Flash And Clear On Zulu." We haven't had many problems with the recognition that Proper English Pronunciation couldn't solve. Voice commands are cool, but they made a decision about how they work that someone should be promoted for.
When you receive a mission briefing - or one of your team members speaks to you - all of that comes through the headset, with the characteristic radio clicks intact. As a person who is always seeking a greater degree of translation into the game world, having props like this is more than just novelty. It's remarkable. The combination of issuing voice commands and having them responded to via the headset as you move through hostile terrain is significant.
That sounds like would be soooo much fun ^_^;
