I hate it! I wish you could veto it like the maps and game modes. I always forget to press it and I wind up talking to myself. Talk about awkward

you can talk to your teammates without pressing the dpad if theyre within a certain range of you, but if you're about 50 feet or more away from them, you have to press the dpad to talk

don't you remember all the people walking around in halo 2 breathing heavily into the mic, while behind you there's a kid with his mom and baby brother screaming in the backround of HIS mic?

I bet they did it because of too many immature kids in Halo 2.

I like the feature because it keeps retarded kids from spamming the mic. Just like how it was on PS2 Socom.

You don't have to hold the D-pad you only press it to open the channel. It's actually pretty nice. I don't have to listen to idiots.

Considering the 360 mic has an on/off feature, they should remove it.

Push-to-talk should be the only method of communicating in a multiplayer game.  Open mic should be abolished from the earth.

same here i dont like pressing a button just to talk to my team...it makes it so annoying because you might be in a fire fight when no one is around you'll have to hit the D-pad which could get you killed.

well it's the first time i hear you gotta do this. and it doesnt matter how obnoxious or annyoing a person is or your team, just push the a-hole button and shut them up. and after that, there should b no reason to push to talk or w/e. and do you gotta press the d-pad in a certain direction?

Does this only work in team games? That still means in free-for-alls, you can't say a word to anyone else for the duration of the game. nd even if it does work then, how many people know about it? I played it all day and only after reading this thread do I know about it.

But isn't that what the silencing button is for? Surely it's better to allow everyone to speak and then shut the ones you don't like up than have everyone in silence and only have a select few using the chat thing properly.

they should either  remove the team talk option and make you mute people you didn't want to listen to, or creat an option deap in the menu to make the team talk allways on so kids would not find it. and I think they should keep the ability to hear the enemy when your close.

why does everyont think you have to PUSH the D-Pad to talk? you just press it once and talk into the mic, it stays in the team chat channel untill you stop talking, its just a quick button tap, they had the same thing in Halo2. white or black button anyone?

Take it out, if you don't want to hear some one that is why they invented the "Mute Player" feature.

you can talk to your teammates without pressing the dpad if theyre within a certain range of you, but if you're about 50 feet or more away from them, you have to press the dpad to talk

Ummm, are you sure?  I was playing with 2 of my friends on Valhalla and we were all the way across the map and were talking.  I didn't even know they still had the press button to talk feature... :?

Well, we can just send a letter to Bungie and complain about this. That is what the Halo Beta is for anyways, to see how the Halo 3 multiplayer is like so if there are any complaint about anything in the multiplayer, Bungie can fix it.
