Tired of being the only one playing Battlefield 3 with a mic!! Any suggestions?

I love playing BF3 on the 360. However, whenever I'm online, nobody seems to use their mics. I've tried just going into random lobbies and being like"yo does anyone have a mic? If so speak up" but nobody ever responds. All my friends are playing other games right now e.g. Skyrim. What I'm wondering is are there any services that could help match me up with people with mics in BF3? Im not looking for anything serious here e.g gamebattles, just somone who is online when I'm online and actually enjoys communicating with a nonsuckish teammate (I usually come in 1st or 2nd place in any given match).

Also my gamertag is halo2dmax.(Yes im aware of the irony...). Feel free to friend request me if you actually want to have some fun playing BF3!!!

In any given game, I've found that almost everyone with a mic is in a party with their friends. Those who are left are generally the ones who like to play loud music in the background, shout obscenities, or sing. Thus why everyone else is in a party.

You could try a site where you can set up a gaming session like trueachievements.com. I use it, pretty easy to find folks to play with. You can create a session for whenever you want and request that everyone have a mic, or join someone else's. Not much else I can suggest for the general public I'm afraid.

I've had the same experiences myself. If I am playing, I'm in a party with three other people who have microphones.

Go with his suggestion.

How exactly do you organze a match on there? do you just post in one of the forums or something? i've taken a quick look at the site and i can't seem to locate a section devoted to setting up MP matches.

Once you register and are logged in, go to the game you want to play and there should be a pane on the right side of the screen that says "Gaming Sessions". You can select one of those that fits your needs or at the bottom of that same pane there will be a link for making your own session. If you do, you can set it up to boost achievements or just for fun. Hope that helps!

Thanks! From what it looks like, it's mostly for getting achievements/boosting, but I'm gonna try to make my own non-boosting sessions.

Welcome! With a game like Battlefield, I'd guess you won't have too much trouble finding fun session partners. Good luck!

I found that very disappointing about BF3 as well. One time I got in a room with a bunch of randoms and we all had mics. I have never so easily dominated the other team in my life. Communication is so important on that game...

Ditch the micchilly-chill

This. I stopped using the mic years ago and I've never been happier.

Team kill until they get wind up enough to respond.

Yep

Party chat destroyed teamwork pretty much.

I don't use a mic hardly ever.

Text chat me or shut up, I don't wanna hear anybody's voice these days.
