party chat saved xbox live, especially halo, i dont think you could even call halo online a community, more a large collection of **** headsParty Chat has Ruined Xbox Live
I don't get why people are so worried about other players talking in the mic ? I mean do you need somebody to keep you company ?(I'm asking this in general)
I guess it doesn't bother me that much. Most of the people who use their mics for all to hear simply scream into their mics, spew some unoriginal lines in an attempt to be funny or witty, mock someone for their screen name, and run their mouths until I mute them anyway. But, that's just my opinion...
Well those of us who have friends online would say otherwise. I really like party chat.

When I use party chat usually it is with my real friends. I don't blame them though, maybe you should get more friends to talk with on XBL.

Right..... I don't think anyone really took that post the right way... I've got plenty of friends to go into a party chat with online, I even said that I do it just like everyone else. But on occasion when I'm in the game channel, yea, I like for people to talk and communicate like a team, even the jerk offs provide some entertainment. The whole focus of Xbox Live is to create a virtual community, but a community is hard to enjoy with no communication between one another besides the occasional team kill or tea bag. Again, I do love party chat myself so I'm not saying outright it should be removed or anything like that. Just sometimes people need to stop being so timid in-game and say something.... just my two cents.
Party chat makes xbl better, I'd much rather chat to friends than knob heads that talk smack from the overside of the globe to me.
Umm actually Party Chat has been a blessing for XBL. Id much rather just talk to my buddies than listen to some 9 year old scream into the mike or listen to some punk talk a bunch of crap. Face it, unfortunately, the average person on XBL isnt there to have a good time. They are there to talk smack and act all tough! Party Chat is the best thing to happen to XBL!!
Yeah. Nobody EVER uses a mic on BF1943

That and Bad Company are the games that made me think of this.

I gave voice chat another go the other day, I haven't since the NXE update, and first thing that happened ? farcry 2 multiplayer, some australian fool shouting at me for using a vehicle.I'm sorry but the amount of negative experiences outweigh the good for me, I love party chat.

party chat is great, no more screaming little kids who think their gangsta. plus when im not in party chat there are still quite a few people who talk, i find. enough people at least. but id rather talk to friends then little kids anyway
I know for one that I wouldn't even have a mic on if it wasn't for party chat. I tried to go on with strangers, and ended up into multiple verbal altercations with people. When you play a game like CoD: WaW or other shooters with a community; people are down right ugly to you. And I myself have done my own share of cussing people out for team killing or noob tubing and other crap. I have met some cool people but then again met some really strange and freaky people too. To top it all off, I couldn't weigh out the ratio of how many dumb A** punks I exchanged words with, those totally out weighed the number of decent cool people. In fact, I went through my friends list and removed alot of people that I thought were cool, but I never even talk to or play games with for some reason. Seriously what is the reason to have a friend on XBL if you aren't going to communicate with them? Oh and the most enjoyable experiences (sarcasm), is those singing high pitched punk kids that all run around with Jugg and an Mp40; laughing at you and talking trash. Somehow I ended up getting bad reviews for talking trash when I was usually defending myself to some douchebag that started the mess by intentionally team killing at the end of a match or being the host and team killing over and over again. Yeah, I don't do the normal chat in game anymore, its much better for my health and psyche to do party chat with my friends.
Where is everyone finding these people at? I'm not saying I haven't encountered them before, but lately there's nothing but silence for me. Not even an annoying 10 year old yelling about how he just no scoped me! I find that really, really odd because now I almost never encounter trash talking, but I mean come on, it's Xbox Live! If there's no trash talking than you have a problem. I think if I ran into these people normally like I use to, than yes, I'd be very thankful to go into my party chat but they aren't giving me any problems. Now it's just like me and the people I normally talk to on Live are the only people with mics yet here we all are on these forums and most of us how mics. I think my point has really just become completely moot, but I guess what I'm trying to say is if you're in the game channel, have a mic, aren't talking, than stop being shy and say something. If no one answers than fine, you tried, and if someone trash talks you than that's cool too...... just mute them.
Sometimes it's quite irritating. Other times the party system is awesome.
