switched to PC over it, hope the team addresses this at some point. I think anyone who's played console and pc versions of the game would agree this detracts significantly from the experience. no doubt would make no difference to the bottom line but console players experience would be improved if this was fixed

I really hope this is being looked into. I'd imagine it can't be too tough to fix if it's not in conflict with some Xbox live VOIP policy like I've seen some people claim. Proper directional VOIP would have a big impact on player interactions, could get some people out of party chat and might even reduce KOS a bit. Organic player interactions are a significant part of what makes DayZ special, and Xbox (and PlayStation?) players are missing out on part of the experience
