Push to talk is one of those "well duh" features but better late than never I suppose.

Don't use this beta if you play CS:S, this beta causes it to crash when you load a map.

I think this blatantly came out of that competitive TF2 clan Valve have. Someone finally realised voice support in Steam is shit.
