There are a couple of threads discussing the voice communications, but not this one I think.
One thingy that gets quite annoying after a while in public games is the mic abuse/misuse. It really isn't nice having a couple of french guys discussing the weather in your team unless you're french and interested in the weather. At the moment it pretty much mutes the ingame sounds and gets you killed by doing so. Voice_enable 0 and mute sure work, but they often block some useful teamplay information.
I don't know about the engine limitations, but I think ut2k4 has pretty much a system like this: There are a few different channels like "team" and "public" and so. So... If I want to hear the information considering teamwork and stuff, I'll just join the "team" channel and avoid channels like "casual chat" and so on. Different channels can also be hotkeyed, so different keys allow you to talk to different channels.
I think ns could actually have use for such system.
