auto mute people

[mrsako]

Halo 3, I say is a great game, the problem with it is it seems a fraction of the online players, are annoying.

I typically only play online in a party of atleast 1 other person, whenever it goes through the matchmaking and everyone gets in the match, you start hearing a bunch of kids yelling with their mic down their throat, so immediately I have to go in and mute every person talking individually. This is getting annoying.

Anyways is it possible to have it automatically mute everyone not in your party as those are the only people I seem to ever care to be hearing.

the only way i would think to do that would be if you have only 1 more person with you, you can just start a private chat with them and talk to them. you start a private chat in the Xbox Dashboard.

sorry for spelling errors and bad grammar, its 6:05 in the morn.

I believe one of the settings (accessed by pressing the start menu when not in a game in Halo 3) is team only, by selecting that I think it automatically mutes anyone who isn't in your team. The opposing team can't hear you either.

I use that, not sure what it's called, but I cut it on day 1.

Ah i found it
however i like the private chat idea more, because then on big team battles you dont have to use the Dpad to talk.

I understand your concern about the screaming kids, etc, but don't you think you'd give your team a disadvantage by using Private Chat during the match? I mean, how else will they be able to communicate with you during objective matches, etc? It just doesn't seem to fit with the whole "team" concept, unless of course you and your friend play nothing but "Double Team"-style matches.

Absolutely, if I see people in private chat when I'm in a team battle, they get negative feedback as soon as the match is over. You don't want to communicate with the team, play lone wolves or rumble pit. It's one thing if no one else on the team has mics, that's absolutely fine if you jump into private chat in that case. I've done that plenty, but don't hurt your team because you don't want to push to talk.

You hardcore guys... I like to get out of my wraith tank at the top of the hill on Valhalla and send text messages to my team, letting them all know the enemy's positions. Sure I get killed every now and then, but that information is valuable stuff. How do you think Keezy gets all those kills?

at Quo.

Another good way to avoid that kinda crap is to play with PGL'ers only.

be aware though if you mute an individual in the halo menu it only mutes them for that session. If you happen to come across them again later in matchmaking you'll hear them, and have to mute them again.
To get rid of them once and for all you'll have to do it through the xbox gamer profile.

We had one annoying guy playing his radio down his mike so he got muted. However around 5 games later we got matched back with him and he was 'unmuted' in the halo menu. It ended up we had to go off into the xbox gamer profile and mute him from there.
