There must be a different variable then, because my beef is 100% with servers that have the two teams talking to each other. I have yet to be on a server where my dead team mates could not talk on voice.
Again, there are games with where this is great, and theres games where we all wish we could turn it off but can't due to the server config. Which is why it should be voted on. This is unfortunately not something that can be fixed with a server mod, because of the randomness in joining a server with friends from a lobby. If you search the steam forums, this is a common gripe in the L4d forum.
