In WoT, players without TeamSpeak can call-out to their team where to go by clicking on the map(Like MWO's battlegrid) and in-chat the notification will pop-up showing:

Ootcast(Team): Advance to E3
Ootcast(Team): Advance to F3.
**Battlegrid/Minimap will flash in the specified area.

Players can also use Hotkeys to say things like:

Ootcast(Team): RTB: Return to Base MechWarriors!
Ootcast(Team): FF: Focus-Fire on Target KILO: TBR:C!
Ootcast(Team): LRMBOAT: Requesting locks(hold target/tag/narc)!
Ootcast(Team): RUSH-CALL: Need reinforcements!
Ootcast(Team): CAP: Time to Cap!
Ootcast(Team): HELP: I'm cored!
Ootcast(Team): HELP: I'm outnumbered!
**clicking on Battlegrid pt.
-> Ootcast(Team): CAP: Capture Theta!
-> Ootcast(Team): SCOUT: Enemies spotted in G5!

All these quick-commands should improve communications for the newbie-pugs and those who simply don't have a mic. It'll also introduce MWO to more spamming... chat-spamming specifically... and if that becomes a problem you'll really know who isn't a teamplayer and rather those who are the anarchist-trolls.

...Anyways have your say on this in the comments and in the poll. Thanks for Reading.
(YOU BETTER READ THIS PGI FOR THE SAKE THAT THIS IS A TEAM-GAME!)

sadly no matter how good this maybe, you only get a fraction to even think about it, a fraction who will do it, an a fraction who does not care.

nice idea though as it would allow non-voip users to have a voice.
though I will admit I can easily use voip I just chose not to so this would be perfect.
maybe a button that could be used for requesting aid as well.
