That being said, muting individual players is much, much too difficult as it stands now. billing

You must be partially retarded if you think muting a person is difficult.

I'm fully retarded.

The 360 Premium package comes standard with headset and because of this the vast majority of Live players are voice-enabled. This feature is invaluable in certain games (GRAW, Gears, Halo,) in fact it is in most games I'd say. It makes it far easier to strategize and talking with cool people makes games more entertaining as a general rule. I hear that the PS3 is voice-enabled yet because no package comes with a mic so the vast majority of people using PSN aren't voice-enabled. Pretty lame.... but at least they don't have to deal with the kind of nuts like the kid in the link below. 

That being said, muting individual players is much, much too difficult as it stands now. Anyone who has played Live for any length of time will tell you that anonymity coupled with a jackass wearing a headset is a recipe for a headache. Games need to start implementing easy-to-access mute buttons, I hear Halo 3 is planning to do this somehow.... why games aren't making this a standard feature now is beyond me. The Premium PS3 package should start including a mic as well, once you're used to the ability to communicate easily with your team it's hard to revert back to almost complete silence.... then again at least silence covers these types of idiots:

About the Live headset.... I find it invaluable but I'm also hoping games start featuring a standard (easily accessible - the most important part) mute feature as well. 

You can't invite friends to play?

This can't be true.... doesn't seem right to me. There's no way to invite or message friends so they can team up with you? So you're always playing with random people? Who is that dude you're quoting?

This kind of poll in SW will get you nowhere.

Exactly. The anti Microsoft fanboys will just vote for whatever option makes the 360 look the worst, and the pro Microsoft fanboys will just do the opposite.

The amount of people answering honestly will pale in comparison to the amount of people doing what I just described, especially in a forum like System Wars.

Useless poll given who is voting in it.

The latest preview shows some massive screen tearing to the point of annoyance.

That's odd, I'm usually pretty sensitive to tear and I didn't notice anything that bothered me. To my eyes everything moved smoothly. Care to point out a specific time point in the video so I can have a look?

The fact that you didn't realize ALL of those were hoaxes makes me question your intelligence. They're fake, man.

AD rocks!!!

Yeah, ahahaha. Damn right man.

It's a shame the funniest show on TV was canceled.

I don't expect this to spawn system wars peace or anything, but hopefully some of you start to realize how stupid all this fanboyism is.

michaelareb0001

yeah, good luck with that. Stupid people don't realize they're stupid, that's part of their charm.

98% of the membership of System Wars are idiots - and they're oblivious.

The sole reason this forum exists is to contain the idiots in a confined space and prevent the more legitimate forums from being flooded with their trash.

Anyone who spends any measurable amount of his time arguing why his piece of plastic is superior to another person's piece of plastic needs to visit the outside world more often.
