Call of Duty: Warzone 2 launched with a plethora of brand new features which differentiates it from its predecessor. One of these fresh additions is proximity chat. Essentially, this allows you to hear and talk to enemies in your area and this can result in some hilarious encounters. If you prefer not to have your microphone open for the whole lobby to hear, this guide will show you how to disable proximity chat in Warzone 2.
So far, proximity chat is exclusive to Warzone 2, meaning it doesn’t feature in Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer. You can still communicate with your team in game chat, but not with the opposing team until the match has ended. Who knows, the devs could implement it in Modern Warfare 2 in the future for an even more chaotic experience.
