-== Voice Commands ==
+== Voice Communication & Command Systems ==
-This page compiles essential information regarding in-game voice communication and key controls for the Musician class, optimized for both PC and Console (Xbox / PS5) platforms.
+This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the communication protocols in '''Holdfast: Nations At War'''. Effective communication—whether through proximity chat or standardized tactical commands—is essential for coordination on the battlefield.
-== I. Proximity Voice Chat (Push-to-Talk) ==
+== I. Proximity Voice Chat (VoIP) ==
-''Holdfast'' uses a proximity-based voice chat system. Your voice can be heard by any player—friend or foe—who is near your physical location in the game world. The system is always '''Push-to-Talk (PTT)'''; there is no open microphone or toggle option.
+Holdfast utilizes a '''spatialized proximity voice system'''. Audio volume scales based on your physical distance from other players; notably, this includes enemy combatants.<blockquote>'''Important:''' The game strictly utilizes '''Push-to-Talk (PTT)'''. There is no "Open Mic" or "Toggle" functionality available to ensure a clean acoustic environment.</blockquote>

-=== Console Voice Chat Troubleshooting ===
+=== Console Troubleshooting: Party Chat Conflicts ===
-* '''Party Chat Conflict:''' If you are in an Xbox Live Party or a PlayStation Party, your in-game Push-to-Talk may not work. You may need to switch your console's party settings from "Party Chat" to '''"Game Chat (Priority)"''' or adjust the in-game audio settings to ensure the microphone is routed to the game. On some consoles, simply holding the PTT button (<code>Y</code> / <code>△</code>) may allow you to bypass the party chat and speak in-game without changing priority.
