Hey guys, come join me in game chat.

Been seeing alot of people not in game chat and doing things constantly getting themselves killed and our team no where. I’ve also had moments where there are a group of friends with Mic’s all in party chat doing something totally different from us in game chat.

What happened to the days of
“We got a match, see if anyone has a mic?”

"Anyone remember when party chat was release. My friends and I were geeking out for finally being able to talk to alot of people across games WITHOUT using private chat’s 1on1."We also hated constantly having to press the up button on the D-Pad to talk in Halo 3 when the party reached a certain limit.

Now everyone assumes people in game chat are lesser creatures that should be ignored. You might not like listening to that music but you can a ask someone to turn it down, you might not like listening to that kinetic but you can tell that dude to unplug it and you might not like that baby screaming in the background but atleast you get the the wonders of child birth. To be honest those people might have some problems but you get the point.

Most people aren’t even like that, isn’t it terrible to assume that the majority of people are bad just from a few examples?

I have the most unlikely best friend. The dude was raised with a -Yoink- image of my people but when he actually meet a black guy he started to see some bias.

Long story short, some people are -Yoinks!- but most of us are pretty cool, some come and join me in game chat.

EDIT: This is a bit of a funny story. Had a game where we were winning and the enemy came back on Warzone. Me and 2 other guys had a plan to flank the enemy’s second base with extreme fire power of a tank, shotguns and good placement.

After a long siege and tons of dead reds, we are starting to take the base and someone starts yelling. One of the guys from party chat came out to “greet” us. Calling us all sorts of things because we weren’t helping them take the spire. The rest of this guy’s crew came out to add on to it and caused us to lose the siege because I as the tank driver, was distracted by suddenly fighting a two way war ( one of them was so mad that they started ramming me with a warthog block my shots." that we lost the game from not holding more bases and when the game was over they started raging at the enemy team to report us for not helping them.

I always have my mic plugged in but always on mute. The reason I dont talk is because most of the replies are abuse haha. I blame COD for ruining my faith in in-game chat.

I’ll stay in my party thank you very much. Always guys swearing between every word, squeakers, music, you name it.

CoD has ruined in-game chat for me too…that and people constantly playing music in the background, its frustrating. I LOVE having communication with my teammates, but if it means having to listen to verbal abuse and loud annoying music? No thanks!

The Kinect really helped kill game chat. Half of the idiots who blast stuff at us don’t even realize its enabled for chat.

I try to communicate, but all I get is the following

  • Bogans
  • kinects
  • Rude -Yoink- squeakers
  • More Bogans
  • The very rare occasional guy that boasts about his k/d (seriously why?)
  • did I mention Bogans?

Yeah I think I might hide in party chat from here on out. Thanks Call of Duty for ruining communication.

Hey what are Bogans? lol

9/10 times, no.

Had a coiple guys the other day in game chat that were great fun. Lead to some teamwork that changed the games we played. It’s also fun to have someone to get hyped with when games get down to the wire.

Sometimes there are people
in game chat and situationally sometimes I reply.

But I haven’t met anyone super interesting and fascinating lately via random game and game chat.

One thing I’ve learned is if you just jump in game chat, and cough, someone else will jump on and start talking to tou.
