What about people who you know... go in as a party? Party chat is great in those situations.

I just hate people that go into ranked that don't bother communicating with their teammates. Communication is essential, but people just don't seem to understand.

A terrible player on Halo 3 is still a terrible player on Reach.

Lets go all, the way tonight. No regrets, just love. We can dance, until we die. You and I, we'll be young forever.

In halo 3 yeah it should be because nothing matters besides winning. In CoD party chat shouldnt matter because only individual stats matter kinda like... Reach.

Its called talking to friends. No! Not the imaginary friends you talk to while sipping out of your juice box.

reply to al of you flaming....halo team gametypes are based aorund communication when it gets to a higher level. how can your team win if your team mates cant communicate because theyre in party chat. communication is key, without it you get killed/miss kills many times. thus probably losing the match.

As far as playing in team based games it seems as though it would be better served that party chat were abolished. You can not very well play against another organized team if you are not all communicating well. So to an extent, using party chat is a selfish move, and more or less unproductive. Team and Party setting are great for any team based game.

For that matter, I believe that party chat fully bogs down the game as well. Most every game I ever played against a team using it, the lag was much more noticeable than in games against people not using it.

how about everyone on my friends list is offline and mostly bk's use the classifields to get their 50's lol?

  • 09.06.2010 10:07 PM PDT

I use party chat cuz me and my friends NAT arent very compatble and we can only hear each in chat. Plus its easier to listen to callouts without tryhards you dont know SCREAMING unimportant callouts. Plus my a lot of friends that arent very good, so they cant play with me in ranked but I still like chilling in chat with them.

edit: almost forgot, I also hate listening to brigs who cry about not communicating when the only thing the say is some type of complaining or -blam!- talking. Your team will seriously play better if youre chill, bro

How can you communicate with teammates who are just there to annoy the hell out of you? I miss the days of Halo 2 when you could go into a game and get smooth cooperation from your team. This late in Halo 3's life, I just play for the sake of playing. I don't care if I win or not. Party chat lets me keep all the noisy people out of my head. Yes I agree party chat is damaging to team gametypes but as I said earlier...this late in Halo 3's life, I just don't care.


With that mindset, just about every decent person is now in party chat. Thank you very much... For social matches, that's fine and dandy. BUT for ranked matches, I think party chat should be disabled (not that it can be this late in Halo 3's life).

As mentioned before, there are people who boost using party chat and that language trick. Pretty rare though, so my main problem with chat is about the lack of communication with people who are TRYING to rank up. Yes, Halo 3 has been out for nearly 3 years now but keep in mind not everybody bought it on launch day. I recently played with a guy who bought Halo 3 a month ago. He's great at getting kills and keeping a positive K/D spread. The problem? He has no idea what the callouts are on any of the maps. Do you know why? Because his teammates were always either in party chat or did not have a mic.

For the most part, I play for fun. However, half of my fun is communicating with other players. Even if it's not about the game. Earlier today (Labor Day), I paired up with some dude and we mostly talked about his ex-girlfriend along with the occasional "sword room" and "top mid". THAT was fun.

So yeah, it's extremely unlikely Bungie will update Halo 3 to disable party chat in ranked matches. Same goes for anything else. The playlists have now been locked in I believe (except for the double exp lists). Reach comes out in a week and at least we'll have the option to search for chatty people or quiet people. In closing, PLEASE do us all a favor and do not play ranked Halo 3 matches while in a party chat. If you don't want to hear some 10 yearold kid whining about whatever, MUTE them. Don't punish the players who want to communicate with their teammates.

I wouldn't complain, in the past few days you've had like 4 wins against me cos of the teammates I've been getting. Slayer as a 1 is literally a lottery.. never again.

I probably am not going to plug my mic in unless I am chatting with my friends. If I am doing that I will be in a party chat.

I don't need to hear anyone screaming about what I need to do in the game. Go have fun, relax and use chatty as a preference when you search on halo reach.

Parties FTW =)
