“Got something to say? Comms are now open, so any in-game chatter can be picked up by any other squad,” read the description for the feature on the official blog. Basically, Proximity Chat will open all the communication lines. If you are within a close range of an opponent, you will be able to listen to their mic chatter, and vice versa. It will allow making instant strategies in order to gain an upper hand.

Unfortunately, not much has been elaborated regarding this feature. So there’s no confirmation whether it will be mandatory or optional in-game. All things considered, though, Warzone 2 is surely going to offer a massive change to the fans when it arrives.
