Black Ops II WII U Voice Chat Question

Has anyone played any online games or done any chats? How is the voice chat over the Wii U gamepad? Would I need a headset for COD? I bought the Pro Controller but might return it if the Gamepad suffices.

So will a handsfree bluetooth headset work? Or does the Gamepad pick up the mic sound and your regular headphones plugged into a gamepad hear others?

It's really important to me but I haven't read/seen anything giving me an answer besides what you guys have said. Normally I research this stuff, but when Zombiu reviews were weak, I decided on Black Ops II instead. But if there's no voice chat in the game... I don't want it! I'm hoping, though.

I thought for sure bluetooth wouldn't work. Does it need to be a headphone jack mic or just normal headphones, do you know? Any links to these IGN discussions?

Thanks guys.

How is COD BLOPS2 on the Wii U? Is it good? Prompt matchmaking in the lobby?

I've played Black Ops for about an hour and a half up until about midnight last night and never had any issues with lag, finding a game or anything like that. The only thing is I never heard one person using a mic to speak.

I don't think you miss much with people not talking. From my experience in CoD, it seems like people only talk when they want to say something negative. I bet if you get people in a party though it would be awesome.

Still finding this confusing. Let's say you have a pair of Turtle Beaches, can you plug them into the gamepad and actually get them to work?
