I really think they should bring back Psych Profile into the multiplayer lobbies. It’s a great way to chat to new players in game chat and find the preference of the type of people you want to play with. In reach it had “chatty” for talkative players and “quiet” as well us no preference. It even had Tone setting where you could choose if you wanted to openly play with trash talkers or polite mature people.
I turned off game chat in Halo years ago. While the Halo Nation has mellowed out in recent years, I’d rather stay quiet and stick to party chat. My rule is, “if you want a peaceful online experience, mute game chat and don’t have online friends below the age of 15 (unless you know them in real life) since that’s usually the main online maturity scale most of the time.”
