Remember the good old days when you could talk crap on the mic and everyone in the lobby would get riled up? That died because of party chat. If you ban party chat, players will be inclined to communicate in the lobby!
id like party chat banned from xbox live alltogether but i guess we can start with arena?
i vote YES
I don’t know about you but I’ll be using TS to talk to my party…
If you do that, people just won’t talk or won’t play. Doesn’t really solve the whole, “immature community” problem.

Yeah.
I’d like to see that. Unfortunately, most people are jerks and believe that everyone else but them are jerks, and so they preemptively act like jerks to out-jerk the jerks by cutting all communication with their team and acting like it’s everyone else’s fault. Not gonna happen.
Halo Reach helped solve this problem by having people who get muted a lot muted by default.
People still discussing this…
No, Group chat must stay. It’s a social feature that should never be banned. Public games aren’t serious business teamwise anyway even if you all Halo wannabepro’s Think so. 
Just play and have fun please, the year is 2015. Most guuud players are Close to their computer anyway so they can use Teamspeak either way. no need to ban Group chat.
even if they didn’t allow party chat in arena I think people would just have their mic muted or not plugged in. I hope that since people use mics more in halo 5 than they did in MCC. i don’t know all the callouts for the classic maps but I at least try to give a general direction or at least say what area by what weapon spawns there.
Now I have no issue with chatting with strangers/randoms in Halo, but I do believe that if you forced people out of party chat they just won’t talk or play. I believe COD tried this before and I just avoided that game mode all together. However; the live community today is much different than it was when Halo 2 was released, many people online now have little respect for others, it becomes childish and annoying.And I shouldn’t feel like I have to mute those people because they never learned manners, but so is the world today.
On a similar note, I mainly use Party chat to talk with friends or family and its beneficial if we play different games. Not to mention I don’t want our personal/private conversation to distract or bother someone because I can’t be in Party chat.
I can see both sides to this argument and will just go with whatever flows down the Halo river eventually.
Ok, I just won’t play it then. I like talking to my FRIENDS that arent on Halo at that moment. And I will be seeing that a lot because Fallout is launching a few weeks later.

Nope I’m good
No, I have no problem chatting with others in a game, but I’m not one to sit around and listen to the vulgarity or sheer awfulness of some gamers. I will mute, and just go to party chat. Besides, I usually enter MM with a full team, so party chat doesn’t effect. Of course I’m a grown man so the idea of bullying and incessantly mocking a bunch of kids doesn’t really appeal to me. Nor does listening to it.

This makes more sense than the OP no one would talk and even if they did they would either mute you or ignore you. There are exceptions but you only meet them once in how many games that’s if you don’t add them. Which would go back to actually wanting to team up and use party chat.

Logic beats nostalgia.
Let’s just see how it goes when the game comes out before we start claiming something is needed. People may get into their old ways and actually constructively communicate with randoms. But I think communication would be even more essential in warzone amongst a team anyway. But I’m not about to tell another gamer how he or she has to chat.

Nope never talked racist, sexist, homophobic slurs on xbox live.I do hope H5 community can overcome the cancerous disease I experienced in Gears Ultimate. …

You included my reason for never going into game chat and why I think party chat should stay. Personally, I don’t want to listen to or participate in your (or anybody else’s) “crap”.
Not to say there aren’t good experiences to be had with game chat, because there absolutely are, sadly I find the phrase “One bad apple spoils the whole bunch” to be quite appropriate. Now I could just mute these people but in reality that’s a whole lot of people I’d likely have to mute. So I’d rather save myself the time and stick to party chat with my friends.

Precisely
Now if they wanted to have some type of ranked or competition (that’s a separate gamemode) that wouldn’t allow party chat then I’d be okay with that, as it doesn’t restrict someone from playing original arena itself. Just a thought.
