Do people really mind if you don't have a headset?

I do not have a headset and don't particularly want one, but I thought it might be considered bad form in Team matches, (in something like CoD4) would not having a headset ruin the experience for myself or others? I'd like to be able to play some team matches, but if it makes it significantly harder or less enjoyable for others, I'll just stick to Free-for-alls.

Thanks.

Personally NO as a Communtiy YES

I forgive no one without a headset,unless their female which is understandable with the amount of hormonal pond life on xbox live...........such as me

Not really, it's not like someones gonna go : Hey, look at this guy, he doesn't have a mic! Lets boot him. But yes U should still buy a headset.

That exactly what many people do if u havent got one

i dont use one because everything you say is considered trash talk to the xbox live community in general. also, my voice still cracks (14) and people dont take anything i say seriously because of it. Xeros606

HAHAHA i know i wouldnt HAHAHAAH

if u play any team game..still use one. Just dont talk if ur voice cracks..u can still hear info that people are giving u on positions of the enemy and stuff.. u have no idea that most of the best players in the world use mics..and the reason they are good is because their teammates help them...I.e. telling them to cover me..telling where they saw a guy at..and everything..

I think its 70 where I live (Australia).

I'm also not wild about having one because of the bad things I hear about the community :P

I'll see if I can pick one up cheap at some point, thanks everyone :)

the concept of booting people out of a game because they dont have a headset is the most ridiculas thing ever.

Some people dont want one and others can't afford one. and it can be that some people just can not get one.

I had drama getting a new headset when my old one broke. had to buy an old game with headset just for the headset from ebay and wait for it to arrive. I got kicked out of a couple of games. the users got obscene messages about it from me.

a person who buys a game, but doesn't have a head set has the same right to play that game online as a person who has a headset.

some people have to scrape together some savings to buy a used one. now if you had an hdtv...

You're paying for live just like everyone else so you can play any way you like, if you don't want to use a mic, don't. The tossers who get upset over people not using a mic are the ones with the problem. The "community" aspect is vastly over-rated, little more than dickheads screaming over the mic for no reason and clan members muttering away about the best way to cheat the other team.

Personally I keep my mic on when I play but I don't speak unless I'm specifically being addressed. 99% of the time, you don't need to say anything, yet if you are a good player you'll still win for your team. I've found this on RS Vegas, Lost Planet and Halo 3. What little talking there is tends to be people complaining about being killed or people talking to their friends (or their dog) obviously forgetting that their mics are switched on.

To summerise, if people don't like players not using mics, tough **** Get over it, it's not your concern how others choose to play. Recieving orders from some drunken aggressive stranger over a mic isn't everyone's idea of fun, oddly enough.

every game is usually fine, apart from rainbow six. that has elevated level of communication and team play and your really are ruining the chances of your team winning. people who dont use the headset or have one and dont communicate with the team whats going on are frawnd upon, and yes no mic usually get kicked out the ranked lobbys.

only game i agree it shud happen and only one it really does. to be honest ya really shudnt play r6 with no headset its half the game online without it. most other games its no where near as bad as they just seem like teams of individuals apart from people who play together all the time

advice to the lad who's voice is breaking id plug ur headset in so they can see ur on a headset and so u can listen and if ya dont feel confident to talk then just listen as it still probs help you to get into it. no need for people to slag people for just being young unless ya being abusive

Ya, people are stupid online. RSV is a necessity with a headset, but there are too many chubby greasy sounding dudes. I'm playing a game I hear this greasy guy going, "Heh huh heh (him breathing) WHAT'S YOUR POSTIO-heh huh heh-N! I, being a nice person, made a joke and said, "Doggy Style". Heh huh heh, "That S*** wasn't funny you heh huh heh *Gasp* heh huh heh heh huh heh huh heh *gasps* oh F*** this can't be happening!"

I still don't what happened to that guy. I think hes dead

Your post is why I love the way RS:V has it's online set up. If I host a room and want everyone to have a mic and talk, then that's how it's going to be. If someone comes in without a mic, his ass is booted. No questions asked. It doesn't matter if he pays for his own Live. If you're going to come into a team based game like Rainbow, you better have a mic.

If people don't like it, host your own room then. Good luck with no mic though.

usually if someone doesnt have a mic i boot them on team gameswow how mest up..the point of team games is communication and if i cant tell someone that a guy is behind him and then they die.....its the teams fault. I dont get why people dont use them..maybe because of the language if they are young but every xbox comes with oneFALSE..why wouldnt u have one in the first place?ianp_91

Its more annoying to have someone on your team that doesnt have a headset than it is to have someone on the team singing tina turner in monotone. ALSO annoying is people entering team games in private chat! wtf?

Same here with TF2

Take my word for it, nobody really cares and to be honest most people I have seen on Halo 3 or Rainbow Six Vegas, don't speak/don't have a headset.

When people don't have headsets I file complaints on them for racism so they will get banned. :D

What a load of horse **** that is. In australia the xbox 360 do not come with a mic or head set. they are more than $400 as well. I think if you buy the $729 elite pack you may be a headset. Just because someone has the money to spend on the console and the game ($100 here) that DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY MEAN THEY HAVE THE EXTRA FOR HEADSETS.

regardless on anyones situation. having a headset should be up to the individual and not forced upon them by others who want them to have one.
