Obviously it is great fun to communicate with other players during games online and at this point since I don't have alot of friends I often find myself in a situation playing with people I never played with before. By the time you go through the processs of making friends and setting up a chat, often the game has started.

What is the easiest ways to start a chat or communicate with someone while you are playing a game on XBox Live? Do you have to invite someone to chat or join a party to communicate? The other night a "friend" started chatting with me during a game without ever asking me to join a chat. How'd he do that? Do you have to be friends to chat or is there a way to chat with others on the same game without going through that process?

As soon as you join an online game you are automatically in a chat room with those people playing. Some games make it so you can only hear your teammates, some games have it so you can hear everyone. And some games have it so you can hear teammates and sometimes the other team when you are in close proximity to them.

We play Rainbow Six Vegas and Battlefield: Midway online. Never hear anyone on the game unless we send a chat invite to a friend. There must be something that you have to do to hear the other players? Is it in your preferences or options?
