I'm pretty sure that most online FPS games will not let you talk to the other team in-game except maybe SC:PT (as a taunt). Well reading this week's update made me think that maybe you will be able to verbally taunt the other team while playing on XBL. Below is what I found:

Luke Timmins has voice communication working in game for real, and has done some very neat stuff with player CENSORED and team voice stuff.

Replace CENSORED with TAUNTING and it seems to make a lot more sense doesn't it? Again, everytime I read a new update I start to overthink things. You know what would be cool? If after you kill someone while playing on XBL, he can hear you talking smack through the headset if you are humping his corpse while doing it...

LOL you have a funny name. Applejacks don't taste like apples, so Why did you name your profile applejacks21?

I do believe that taunting would be possible, I mean, like why wouldn't it be? It's not like Microsoft will have one staff member for each person playing so they can censor what they say so all you hear when someone who is pissed off dies is Bleep bleep bleepity bleep...bleep!!!!!

who's gonna stop someone from saying what's on their mind, unless they mute them?

what i meant was that, while playing team games such as CTF, you will not be able to speak with the opposition because they will be on a different channel... i mean, how could you strategize with your teammates if the enemies can hear your every move? and the point i was trying to make was that you might be able to VERBALLY taunt the enemy... kinda like you were playing against someone sitting next to you on the couch... is this what they meant when they said they were gonna recreate that LAN feel, while playing online?

exactly... never in team games where it's better if the enemy can't hear what you say... like Splinter Cell PT.
