Why don't people use their mics?

I felt like more people felt communicated in previous games. Why have comms died?

Party chat, and because people don’t want to listen to Spanish speakers, babies crying in the background, food eaters, and Kinect users.

I asked where my team was at the start of a warzone match on stormbreak when i went to the fortress to kill the commander there, and got killed by the enemy team…

I needed to learn how to speak like a normal person and not talk so fast…

My team was still camping at the armory… you dont need 10 ppl to cap a freaking armory ong…

oh my god, someone said it! Thank you.

I miss randomly teaming up and chatting out a strategy.

Everyone knows why it’s been stated to death. I agree with this attitude but do not support it :slight_smile: I go into mp and listen to the callouts occasionally make callouts and warn kids, rappers etc once before I mute them entirely :slight_smile: casual talk without bigotry, racism and whatever b.s im all for that!

Example of the overstated modern opinion :slight_smile:

Wow. That is what I hear 100 % of the time. I guess it really is common.

Yes, this and horrible foreign Dubsteb… horrible… Dubstep.

Why would I? No one else is talking.

switch to game chat? If you say meaningful callouts etc someone might respond, otherwise at least they’ll be able to hear it and use the info…

If I am playing with any of my friends we switch to party chat. We do this for two reasons. The first is because the Halo 5 lobby system is terrible and you cannot hear your friends before and between matches. The second is so that our friends that get online can join the party and start chatting with us during the current game we are playing.

  • Broken/No Mic available - Xbox live Party Chat - Skype - Just don’t feel like talking at all

I’m always in party chat.

Because I don’t want to talk to you.
Yes, you.
Take this personally.

No but for real, I’m not interested in talking to anybody. I’ve been this way since Halo 2.

Party Chat

Zach S 00: “Hey guys, what’s u-”

Guy 1: “SHUT THE -Yoink- UP!”
Guy 2: blaring music
Guy 3: “racial slur this, racial slur that”
Guy 4: “Cap the base you -Yoinking!- retards. God, I swear my team sucks! I’m on the worst team ever! Hahaha Woooow kill yourselves you scrubs! Damn it, -Yoink-, can’t any of you guys do a single goddamned thing?! …oh damn I’m 3 and 27…”

Zach S 00: “O-ok…”

Because they’re jerks. Oh, sure, they’ll throw out all manner of excuses for why they’re not using their microphone, but every single one of them boils down to “Either I refuse to communicate because I’m talking to my friends, or I can’t be bothered to individually mute offenders and instead just mute everybody”. Which is fine if you own up to that, but they instead act like it’s everyone else’s fault that they can’t bother to mute only those who need to be muted.

Now obviously there are exceptions to this, like if you’re sick. Or deaf-mute.

these people are lying that they dont use their mics because of kinects , other langauges or babies crying… every lobby is silent where are the mmics you are trying to avoid ?
