I know that not everyone is a social being like I am but compared to previous halo games almost no one speaks. I will maybe find one or two people that speak over the course of 10 arena games. Even Warzone matchtypes are ghost towns for speech and that’s a lot of players. A lot of people have their reasons for not talking but that’s a vast amount of individuals who have no intention on general conversing, competitive bravado, or annoying background noise. It takes a little liveliness away from the community I miss. Game chat is dying. Plug in those mics guys and gals.
I do, but I silence everyone if:
- Loud Music Blasters - Arguing in the Background - Squeakers who don’t listen to the team (thankfully they are way less worse than CoD squealers) - Screaming RagersIf you do none of these I will unmute my mic and communicate with the team. My voice sounds like I’m 12 (I made a BAD choice in buying a $2 mic), but I’m older and more mature than that. I have a strong Russian accent (so some words I speak may not make sense), but regardless I will try my best to say the enemy’s location.
I hear ya it’s pretty frustrating. I try to talk to my team mates a majority of the time, but when no one answers or heeds your call outs of low shield enemies, I often give up. But when I do find people who actually talk, I’ll sometimes party up with them cause I know they’re competitive like me haha.
Yep, thats most games for your on the XB1 it seems but yea halo its funny it seems folks don’t care win or lose so I usually get messed over and its unfair for the hardcore players because rank system is so off but IDK if they keep this same new season thing again next month with same issues Ill gladly find another hobby while on bedrest.
I will listen to a person if they are not being annoying or is calling positions out to the team. I don’t use a mic, because personally I hate my voice, so I don’t want anybody else to bear with it, so I cannot help my team either.
With halo being so competitive I rarely run solo in which I use my mic, but 90% I’m running with at least one bud. The reason we aren’t in game chat is simply because we talk some much back and forth and the majority doesn’t want to hear that. We constantly are calling out, weapon pick ups, map positions, and overall strategies (for arena). Now btb is a whole other animal, very heavy on the strategy talk, for example:
me: got hog
bud: coming to you
me: back of the base
bud: fighting enemies wait till respawn
me: hurry your Spartan tail up I’m going run out of gas waiting
bud: o crap I spawn far away
me: coming to you
bud: ok, holding
me: sweet jimmidy! I was blown up by a laser
bud: ok I got a mongoose let’s get that flag
Etc etc etc…
Who would want to hear that. The sweaty nature of halo has cultivated less solo flyers which equals party chat players. However we had a third rider in our hog on ctf yesterday that I swear was reading our mind. He’d get out grab the flag and hop back it. Work so well we score three times in 5 minutes on one hog.
Well whenever i plig in my kic theres always the dudea who have terriblw mica and echo like crap
I was once rather chatty on Halo, from 2 thru Reach. Around Halo 4 I withdrew from public lobbies. There seemed to be a fundamental change in tone. I have found with 5 several problems in even attempting anything resembling a conversation. If I have a mic on it is in a party. I do find people worthy of conversations, extremely far and few between. Remember this; just because there isn’t a mic doesn’t mean no one is listening.
Sad, I’m actually quite the life of the lobby.
I kinda enjoy the fact you can just chill on Halo and don’t have to talk to other folk if you just wanna kick back and get sweaty.
Sometimes I’ll turn on my kinect mic and give the opposing team some light hearted banter after the round if they have been teabagging and the game turned around and we won woop woop.
But other than that I really enjoy not having to be social generally I find having to communicate with others really stressful even in real life.
Saying that there are sometimes you get games where it’s cool calling out where you died and generally talking about ingame stuff that don’t need you to have a real life to talk about.
Search halo lfg on your pc or phone, it’s a match maker website where nearly everyone uses mics.

Well said
Personally. My reason for not using a mic is because my old Afterglow headset doesn’t work with the new 3.5mm controllers. And I don’t want to buy an adapter. And rather buy new headphones but can’t drop the money right now. But on 360 when my heaphones worked I was very vocal. It’s only my opinion but maybe the new controllers have also cause a lot of people to just not want to spend the money to get their mics working.
