Subject: Muted players in MM ?

Well I've been noticing this lately and when ever I join a game usually there is at least 3-4 people muted. The thing is I've never muted anyone in this game. What is this ?

Chill.

I've actually been wondering the same thing for a while now..

:D

Stage 1 of mute ban (for ppl who were/are already muted)

Or they are too annoying and got reported a lot.

Tbh I don't really care.

They're usually people who play a lot of MLG. In that playlist, the enemy team isn't automatically muted because it's still considered social, so everyone just mutes the other team in the pre-game lobby.

There is also the chance that they're really annoying as well, but that doesn't happen very often (unless they're blasting music or something).

I don't know, I never go in game chat because I'm always in a party with my friends.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Mute banned people. If enough people mute 1 guy he will be PERMENATLY muted on Reach.

You should pay more attention to San's answer. It would explain a little about your experiences in Double Team.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

Basically what Sanuel said.

...It's not permanent. You can un-mute them, and it will eventually go away.

@ sanuel. Most people I see who are mute banned are using a Kinect as a microphone (which the majority of people find annoying, due to echoing and sounding like you are in a fish bowl).

People CAN manually unmute you yes. But the ban itself does not go away. I have 14 MLG friends on my friends list have been mute banned for 4 months now.

Strange, I've seen it go away with certain people I knew used to have it. Maybe it happened during something with the servers, like when they migrated them over to Microsoft after they took over from Bungie.

Every single pummel I have is unboosted.
I play GGL. (Grifball)
I hit inheritor 14/1/12. 16 months after release. I have a life fellas.
Every single killionaire I have is unboosted. 22 from grifball, 4 from LD.

I do have a Kinect mic, ther'yre is a certain way to use it. instead of it being 1-2m away from you, I almost kiss my Kinect so the echo doesn't happen.

If it is only the enemy team, then you have the audio to hear team-mates only(mutes enemys) if it's everyone, you have it set to everyone muted.

Press start to go to the menu then browse through the options until you find the audio/mute setting.

LOL - stupid mute ban.

I tend to mute players during the wait for MM ... but only mute those showing a mic symbos. Know there is another way that doesnt kick the mute ban into effect .. but meh.
