Replying to a player\u2019s concerns for the missing ping feature that helps \u201ccollaboration as a team,\u201d Rubin said, \u201cI think it’s stalled out just because we needed those people on higher priority stuff.

Some players prefer to avoid all the toxicity, some don’t have a microphone available, and others just prefer not to speak. But it\u2019s a multiplayer game at the end of the day—you can\u2019t function in a tactical shooter without some form of communication. This is where a ping system will save the day.\u00a0<\/p>
