Why dosnt anyone use mics for anything other than trash talking????

I just want strangers to put a little effort into working together on CoD or Halo. Is that too much? I ask where snipers are I tell people where they are and when I see people sneaking up on them and they dont care or answer. I know maby I am asking for a lot but, Im frustrated!

You have to take in consideration that many people do not wear there headphones due to the childish behavior that can be found on live. Either they do not have them on or they mute everyone. However, I do agree that teamwork is key and therefore communication is imperative whilst engaging in team based games.MsCortana

Pretty much right on, I plug in my headset so it doesn't play through my tv and I never wear it. If I wear it it's always just 2 friends talking about their lives/high school etc...and I could care less. If there was some strategy talk going on than sure, but there never is.

Yea there was a guy trash talking on Rock Band the other day. I'm like dude we're in co-op mode who the hell are you talking to?

that is frustrating, especially when you play tf2 for orange box...its a team based game and the only way to win is communicate

trash talking can be fun, but only after the match is done

well 1....trash talking is stragedy, getting under peoples skin is good...but really...because its not counter strike....thats a game that acctually requires lots of talking...halo and cod are so quick theres no time

With CoD is depends on what type of MP you're playing. With Team Deathmatch I completely agree with you -- there's almost no time before you can either come up with a strategy or help your fellow teammates. With MP types like Headquarters, Domination and the Hardcore types, I found that there are a lot more people willing to use strategy and communicate to win the match. With Team Deathmatch, I found that each person is his/her own individual team (with the exception of when you play with friends -- although I find myself losing more since I care more about having fun than winning).

I don't buy the "trash talking is strategy" argument, since in most games the only time you can trash talk is in the lobby before the match starts. More often than not, I hear excessive trash talking between teammates and it only hurts the team because the team is the only group that loses focus.

using mics actually works to be a better team..it actually works so some people should at least try it

im tired of hearing 12 yr olds singing into the mic and saying retarded things.....but thats why i stopped playing halo 3 online

People are ignorant and have the bravery to say things like this. Because they know they will probably never meet or know the person they are trash talking to IRL.

For instance, I was playing CoD4 and I was casually talking to my friend about how his GCSEs were going etc. And some random guy says "Shut The F*** Up!"

I simply replied to him as I do with all people who give this attitude, "I think there is a mute button somewhere, perhaps you could use it instead of sitting their idly on your buttocks, trash talking to me!"

However you can find decent people to talk too on XBL. But the majority of them are screaming 12 year olds with annoyingly high voices...

I may only be 13-14 years of age but I can fully understand why the GS and XBL community wants these damn trash talkers out of here so we can all just enjoy the damn game!

I used to get upset about people without mics or people with mics who didn't talk during team play, but as you stated and as I have come to find out, a lot of those people intentionally mute everyone because they are tired of the constant derogitory comments they hear all day long and just want to have fun playing a game. There are people in my clan (casual not hardcore) who have everyone except people on their friends list muted so they don't have to hear the garbage from the other team.

one of the best ways is to try and comunicate, if people don't respond just keep doing it, if they talk trash or are a-holes mute them, if they comunicate back using stratgergy send them a message and see if they wanna party up.
