Custom Games Lobby Chat

Am i missing something here or is there no lobby chat between games when playing custom matches?

Had an evening with friends tonight and we only got a few seconds to chew over the game at the end before all returning to a silent lobby where nobody could communicate.

Start next game , a few seconds where opposing teams could talk to each other at the loading screen, then back into the game and channels split to teams as normal.

Never had a game do this before and really breaks up the eveninig , as you cant even discuss what the next game mode/ map should be etc.

It did cross my mind after posting that 3 of the 8 in the room got the new dash yesterday and wondered if that was a factor . However the problem with silent lobby’s was for everyone , old and new dashboards .

I’d be grateful if somebody who has played custom games with friends could confirm or deny this is how it is.

Thanks

Nobody playing custom games ?

Same problem here. 16 People in Custom game lobby. No chat what so ever. can’t use Xbox Live Party because we there are too many players.

Remember Halo 3, where stuff just worked?
I guess as long as the micro transactions work 343i doesn’t care.

Did the chat work ok in game ?

Just silent lobbies ?

That was our experience.

In MCC you had to go to Settings, Audio/Video, and change Control Voice Chat to All Players. I’m not sure if that option is available in H5.

yea nothing

Nothing in the audio settings I can see, Just the ability to Enable or disable Multiplayer Team Chatter and callouts ( im assuming this is the AI chatter as it currently set to on anyway )

I’m surprised this isn’t a bigger deal and more people aren’t complaining ???

Surely the ability to have a laugh with your mates after each match is part of the social aspect. We are not all Pro players who are in it for the win. Some of of us are in it for the laugh with mates…bizarre.

Yea i dont know why it hasnt been brought up more often.

Same here…I can’t believe it. How in the world does something like this get released? Completely ruins the game and is SUCH a basic thing!! Isn’t this one of the FIRST things on the old checklist??

Well, as was the case with MCC, custom gamers get low priority. First I can’t do random settings, forge not available at launch, and now this.

Been a Halo fan from the beginning, but this is starting to wear on me. Not feeling the love anymore.

Has this bug been addressed yet by 343? It’s super frustrating not being able to cheat with your opponents in the lobby between matches.

PLEASE PLEASE P L E A S E ! ! ! Fix this. It’s killing the custom games! How are we supposed to discuss games we want to play without lobby chat? We are HAVING to resort to party chat but that kills any strategy during team games.

Its the the end of December…please fix this ASAP.

hi

Almost a year later and still not fixed. We just use the party chat. Thank god it supports up to 16 people now.

Wow I can’t imagine how frustrating it must have been to not being able allow 16 players in a party for Customs, good thing it’s at 16 now.

That sucks you still have to go party chat just to communicate between games.
