Why I don't use a mic...

I see a lot of posts that saying how people should communicate with their teammates so they can get the upper hand. I happen to agree with these statements not only because it will provide some tactical advantage, you could find some agreeable people that you would call friends.

However…(here comes the rant)

I SPEAK ENGLISH! WHY IS MATCHMAKING ALWAYS PLACING ME WITH PLAYERS WHO DON’T SPEAK ANY ENGLISH? THE MAJORITY OF GAMES THAT I PLAY ARE WITH PLAYERS WHO SPEAK SOME DIALECT OF SPANISH! I DON’T SPEAK SPANISH I SPEAK ENGLISH AND A LITTLE FRENCH. Granted my French sucks BUT STILL. IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD A STREAK OF 37 GAMES WHERE I ENDED UP IN MATCHES OF WHERE NO ONE KNEW ANY ENGLISH EXCEPT FOR ENGLISH SWEAR WORDS! DOES 343 ENJOY DOING THIS -Yoink- TO ME? DO THEY KNOW HOW AWKWARD IT IS TO ASK “(in Spanish from google translate) um does anyone happen to speak any english?” TO BE TOLD “(from adults) No,” OR “(from kids and teens) Go -Yoink- yourself, stupid gringo.”?

Well there you have it. Make as many “triggered” jokes as you like.

That’s kind’ve one reason why I don’t use mic that much.

I feel like this is triggerism mixed with a tinge of racism.

Que??? Just kidding… I don’t use a mic any more because mine broke and since no one else hardly uses them I haven’t been motivated to get another one.

I just don’t like talking to strangers. My mommy taught me not to.

How is it racist? Doesn’t seem like it is because these are the same responses I get on Halo. Maybe stereotype but not racist

… Oh God. I’m turning into a *-Yoink-*hole.

Welcome to the club. It’s much more fun than being all pc all the time :slight_smile:

I only use a mic when I’m in party chat. Game chat always has those -Yoink- blasting music or echoing overly loudly.

I don’t know why but this just popped into my head after reading your comment:

Most likely due to where you live and the server you’re getting placed into.

I love that song. I don’t even remember how many times I’ve listened to it.

I don’t use a mic because:
A) the one that came with my Xbox is utter crap
B) talking to people without seeing them is slightly disturbing
C) I don’t want to buy an expensive headset

You could buy a sol republic headset and got my bluetooth headphones for 60 bucks. And they come with wires too. Unless you don’t a aux port

If we’re building a wall can we charge the Mic DJs and little kids for it?

I had a guy speaking French curse up a storm once. What an elegant language.

Ps I only care to talk to people I invite myself or already know.

How so?

I only put on a mic if someone in game chat asks if anyone has a mic.
