Subject: Why is there a mute ban?

I'm mute banned, I'm not sure why, but it's annoying. I never get to hear any trash talk, or any random teammates. What's the point of a mute ban?

If a person gets muted by enough people in a time span, the system will automatically assume no one wants to hear that person.

That's stupid. In MLG, everyone mutes the other team in lobby. So I go from MLG, to default playlists, and no-one can hear me.

Whoever designed that system is an idiot in my books.

Bungie, dropped the ball as far as intelligence was concerned when they designed Reach.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

Bungie decided there weren't enough retarded bans in place.

mmm ... "never get to hear any trash talk", what is the point of having mics in reach - lol


bungie loves a ban ... guess they had exhausted most ideas when they thought of this one.
Wonder what bungie thought when Microsoft came and banned them from making further halo titles ... must have been a mix of sweet excitement of a ban and disappointment of now being unemployed.


Bungie WANTED to stop making Halo games. I don't know where that came from; being released from their contract with Microsoft was something they eagerly wanted.

And as for the mute ban... if Microsoft authorized it, I suppose it has some place. If you want to -blam!- about it so much, why don't you go to the 343i forums and tell them to do something about it.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Because Bungie didn't care about Reach.
Just ignore the mute ban and it might go away.

Because squeeky kids are really annoying.

I still don't get why people don't use the "team and party" settings in the audio settings.. It automatically mutes the other team so you don't have to every game, i've used this since the game came out and instead of taking the time to mute the other team or hear the little kids screaming they're automatically muted going into the game.

Same, its amazing how many people don't know about it BUT that doesn't make the mute ban any less retarded and unnecessary.

Always up for REACH customs!

It must be annoying to be mute banned, but whenever I'm in a lobby with mute banned teammates I always unmute them to give them the benefit of the doubt...

...and they're usually annoying whiny kids, people speaking another language, people blasting music, people with static or game sounds coming out of their headset, or rude trash talkers.

basically, 95% of the time, people you wouldn't want to hear anyways.

This was established back in April 2010. Pretty stupid idea.

Because I like hearing the other team in game, it's useful to know if people are near me.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

Mute ban is in place for immediate identification of MLG players.

I was mute banned before I played MLG though. Everyone else I know is mute banned because of MLG.

It's especially annoying if I match people I know and have to unmute them.

Odd.

I did the same when I played - I unmuted them because no one deserves to be auto-muted, and to my surprise they usually never said one word.

Oh, and they destroyed me in-game. Mute-bans usually signify above-average players, unfortunately.

Ehh

She's a very kinky girl
The kind you don't take home to mother
She will never let your spirits down
Once you get her off the street, ow girl

She likes the boys in the band
She says that I'm her all-time favorite
When I make my move to her room it's the right time
She's never hard to please, ow now

That girl is pretty wild now
The girl's a super freak

Super freak, super freak

She's a very special girl
The kind of girl you want to know
From her head down to her toenails
Down to her feet, yeah
And she'll wait for me at backstage with her girlfriends
In a limousine
Going back in Chinatown

Three's not a crowd to her, she says
"Room 714, I'll be waiting"
When I get there she's got incense, wine and candles
It's such a freaky scene

That girl is pretty kinky
The girl's a super freak

Exactly, I get bored in game sometimes when I can only hear the 1-2 people I'm searching with.

  • 02.04.2012 5:23 PM PDT

It's a very flawed system. It's a common rule to follow in the MLG playlist. You mute the enemy team so they don't hear your call outs.

What a stupid system indeed.

  • 02.04.2012 5:36 PM PDT

You got mute banned because you probably have an extremely annoying voice and you distract your team mates. Or, you listen to music too loud and teammates can hear it in the mic but you think that they think it sounds cool. Thirdly, You don't say anything at all even when your mic is working so there's no point in trying to hear what you have to say.

No-one else can hear my music. I'm always searching with at least one other person, so I'm always calling out or talking to them.

I don't think I've ever heard anybody tell me my voice is annoying.
