hey it's always nice to help someone new out. anyways just go to settings, and under there is your keyboard settings and by pressing the arrows either left or right at the top u can change the controls shown from movement to combat to Miscellaneous. Under Miscellaneous u can change the controls for talking


But other wise online u press "T" to talk to everyone "Y" to talk to ur team, and i'm not sure what key it was originally set as but the 3rd key will let u talk to people in ur vehicle. wat u do is press either of these keys type something and press "Enter" to show the message on the screen, but beware u cannot move or shoot while typing.

Unfortunately there is no system in place to allow headsets & voice communication.

Is it visually not shown or does it just not allow you to type period? Or can you even see anyone elses typed messages?

It could be your graphics card. Has it ever showed up before or has it not showed ever?

Have you tried reinstalling Halo? If that doesn't work its got to be your graphics card and you need to update it.

So you know, it can be the graphics card because it can show the characters and weapons and all that stuff. Its just sometimes the card can't handle eveything.

Are you sure you activated chat? Maybe its turned off...

Oh, and i had a problem playing online this morning: i had to run manual halo update...its in the folder where halo was installed in. It has a legendary logo...try running that.
