Hello? Is it me you’re looking for?
Hello, it’s me, I was wondering if after all these years you’d like to meet…
I just came to say HELLO! HELLO!
Most games of Halo 5 result in me sound like an Adele Richie collaboration! So let’s explore this. Allay fears. Counter concerns. Fix insecurities.
Why, Halo community, don’t you talk?

Because my fireteam insists on party chat.

And that is absolutely cool with a four/eight/twelve man fireteam. Why do your fireteam insist on it though?
Because I don’t care for 95% of the people that seem to frequent game chat. I just save myself the headache from harassment and stay in party chat all the time.
Or, sometimes, I’m talking to friends that are playing other games.
But mostly, I just like talking to my friends.

But some of those 95% of people need your help to win. Unless you can bring a big enough Fireteam to any one type of game mode to be able to make a difference then sticking in Party Chat is reducing your chance of winning. Don’t be afraid of randoms man, most of them are decent human beings and the ones that aren’t? Well, mute them.
Please talk to me.
Haha great start to a post! Got tune stuck in my head now…
I always have my headset next to me incase a decent sounding team or person is in the lobby.
Other than that I just hear players with a Kinnect. Which usually means crying babies, dogs barking or angry female complaints in the background. That’s life…That’s what all the people say…
Haha! Anyone wants another teammate please feel free to add me.

Why keep it to the side? Wear it loud and proud man. Even if you’re met with steely silence or the sound of a grumbling wife, TALK! Shout them targets. Discuss tactics. Call out lubed noobs. Someone is listening. I do this every game and I often wonder if there’s some confused Halo players relatives wondering why there’s a grumpy British man cursing out of the TV!

Not saying every “random” is terrible, because I know they aren’t. It’s just that anytime I DO venture into gamechat, I’m almost always instantly subjected to a kinect, to yelling, to cursing, and then when they hear I’m a girl, it gets worse. I play games to have fun, not to be harassed.
How is it no one “liked” this before me? Very funny, except for now I’ll have that crappy song stuck in my head for the rest of the day. 
Between my crappy mic that tends to pick up the slightest movement of my head from the wire creaking and my tendency to rage to myself, it’s in everyone’s best interest if I speak rarely and remain muted the rest of the time.
I chat, but quite often you get a Kinect mic with the entire household yelling down it, or babies crying, mothers screeching and annoyed partners telling the other to switch off the Xbox a lot less politely than I just wrote, other times I hear of what obscene things player (a) is going to do to player (b)s mum while playing Halo 5, then you have the racist, homophobic and religion bashers, Now and then when you ask if players have mics you get help, but not as much as the others I have posted about.
…most of the people i’ve met in game-chat so far just made some weird noises
i keep my headset on, just put my mic on mute, and i would only unmute it if there’s another person talking (as in - using ACTUAL words kind of talking), tho i’m yet to meet such ‘other person’
Yesterday, the AFK guy on my team started snoring. Someone called him a name I can’t repeat on here, nor would I otherwise use ever (and I have a foul mouth, mind you). He woke up and actually won the match for us, so we forgave him. lol. Usually, when I hop into a match and hear music, barking, chewing, coughing, burping, yelling, swearing, snorting, snoring, arguing, babies crying, singing, whistling, what sounds like someone trying to play Halo in the middle of Union Station during an earthquake, etc., I just just start a party by myself.
But not always. Sometimes I talk as long as everyone has some manners.
I usually am in a party with friends, however they don’t often play halo 5
Because someone keeps singing lionel richie songs
Because most people just keep their Kinnect mics on with no intention of actually talking to you. I always get the person who just completely ignores what you say, and all you can hear from them is them talking to their friends who are in the same room. Or the dog barking. Or the family yelling. Or the really -Yoink- music playing in the background. At this point, I just keep my mic on mute until someone who is actually willing to talk comes in the lobby, which is rare.
I play with a headset in. I keep my mic muted. If I see something happening like a base being taken I will announce it. I will also do callouts and the like. I just don’t often add to whatever chat is going on.
1 game had some kid with a Kinect in and I could hear his sister in the background talking about going to college and how her parents need to buy her a laptop with a flashdrive and have someone install MS office.
Like…Jesus. The last thing I heard from her was “He has a girlfriend and I have a boyfriend so why…”
Not going to lie. I was mildly entertained.
Ha the amount of times I actually respond " is it me your looking for " to random children just wittering " hello, hello "
Look to be honest i don’t really like talking to random people, I find the majority of times you start chatting to people they end up been a -Yoink- bag. I also find cross country chats end up like this.
UK guys talking to USA Guy blah blah blah WAR, WE ARE THE BEST, WE CAN DO THIS…
Also you end up logging in to play some games and just get spammed with party invites…
Perhaps my old age is making me unsocial
I completely agree with the whole Kinect mic audio spam thing, it is totally annoying and highly ignorant of these people to do that but there is the mute option. I hear all your gripes but I’m going to make the appeal. Next time you’re in a game, switch that mic on, start talking to your team mates, if there’s anyone annoying just switch them off with mute and talk to the other 10 reasonable WarZone players who want to chat, have fun and win just like you.
Party chat, Kinect Mics and idiots are ruining the social experience of Xbox Live and we need to make a friendly, chatty stand! My God, it’s SO bad that Microsoft have felt the need to add Facebook like status updates to Xbox Live rather than you just speaking.
Who’s with me in the official “Say Hello to a Random” campaign?! Spread the name! Spread the love!
Remember a great name once said “It’s good to talk!” Sir Bob Hoskins RIP.

This.
Or others in game chat singing loud, hearing music loud or just other stupid things.
